lets see your small cafe's and mopeds

It is an adrenalin hit that is for sure. Bumps can be murder if you hit to big of one since there is no rear suspension. The 8inch tyres don't help either.
It is still a great feeling to get off a bike with the shakes. Reminds me of riding when I was a kid.
The bike is not quite finished how I would like but mechanically it is. I had the idea of powder coating it cherry red but that is a bit away.
 
Just discovered this thread. Some very cool tiddlers, you guys. Thought I'd post a couple of mine while I was here :)

Tomos LX, not exactly noteworhy. Bought it off craigslist, rode about 1500 miles in 2 months, and then traded for one of my current projects. Was damn reliable and good on gas, though.

Seeing the MB50 made me smirk about an involuntary petrol donation from a garage to me & *name protected for security reasons*...was that OK Digby... in north Wales . He had an MB50 & as he made his get away at 30mph I thought "he's f*cked, but i'm home free" at 45 on my 1976 Suzi AP50. it must have been about 2 quid a tankful. jeez we were badass.
 
Here's my little CG 125 that's still in progress of getting sorted, awaiting my newly upholstered seat and a seal changing on my engine and she'll be good to go.

Tops out around 70, at a push that is! ;) considering maybe putting an rs125 lump into it sometime in the near future if I can source one ::)

with around 30 hp on a bike that weighs just just under 70kg, fun to say the least! ;)
 
^^^^^^I like that^^^^^^

Good catch.................

That's what I'm working on 72 cb100, just not in that good of shape....

70 top and maybe 50-60 cruising is perfect for commuting around the 45mph city side streets. Get to work and get about 80 mpg. Nothing wrong with that! I hope to have my 125 done by summer time and commute to work.
 
Indeed it is, quite a nippy little bike under 50mph!

With a much needed power plant could be made even more dangerous... and fun if all doesn't go wrong ;D
