Live, breath, sleep HONDA!
I have been keeping my eye out for this moped for years. My Dad bought me a used one when I was 16 and I wouldn't mind touching a bit of my youth again with some of the knowledge and skills I have gained since then. If anyone has one of these Batavus mopeds around and reasonably priced and local to the north east let me know.
It would be really cool to pass on to my oldest son someday as a learner. I used to deliver newspapers on it, ride my friends around, and even put racing fuel in it once! - That was interesting, never new it could do over 50mph, suprised it didn't put a hole in the cylinder. But like I said I didn't know what I know now. Back then I lived in upper NY state near Canada and the law required that you register and insure it even if it only did 25-30MPH. I remember it cost me just over a $100 bucks and to me that was a lot of money at the time, but gas was cheap, belts were sold at Napa down the street and I must have patched the inner tubes about a dozen times as I rode it all year round. It was great fun and great memories.
