Who's Cool enough to own a Moped Here?

**JeepOrvis97** · 04-06-2009, 03:33 PM

For some odd reason, I've been into working with mopeds a lot, I've got a mint condition 1980 Tomos bullet with 750 miles now, I got it with 72 miles lol. My buddy has a 1995 Tomos Targa LX, which is way smoother than mine and goes as fast as mine but mine is souped up. The last project we've been working on is a 1980 Motron that my buddy got for free, it was rough, but now its going to be a John Deere Moped. Here are some pics, feel free to post up some of your pics if you really are cool enough to get 80 to 100mpg

Here's mine(right) and my buddies(left), I gotta find a better pic of mine by itself...

The "John Deere" moped before we started working on it...

And some of the progress, its not quite done yet...

The one on the ground in this pic was a parts bike that save us alot of money

That's all so far, it should be finished next weekend

hahaha I had a white Targa XL when I was 15...I jumped it and ****ed myself up pretty bad and totaled the moped in the process

Ugh, i'm jealous. Back in middle school and high school (when i had plenty of extra cash), I always wanted a moped. But since i grew up in the Seattle area, my parents always said it would be too dangerous for me to get a moped because the roads would always be too wet to ride it.

But now that i'm away at college, in a place where roads are dry more frequently than they were back home, I have no money to spare. So you keep on doing this and i'll live vicariously through you!
