Hi all

Post by L3on »

Just joined to explore what looks like a great site.

Looking to buy a maxi moped soon as minor injury has kept me off my sportsbike for a couple of years and I'm yearning for the open road again, this time in comfort.

Here's the first heads-up!

The PUCH "MAXI MOPED";

And if you're near to Mister michaelphillips I'm sure it'll end up looking like this;

The PUCH Maxi. My love affair - the Summer of '86 -it was a friends! She had one and I loved it! I used to cycle everywhere until this little minx came along. Peddle like a loon, squeeze lever, putt putt putt, I laughed in the face of hills!

I have to do with what i got, so making the best, i suppose the feeling is like buying a new scoot :D but i cant afford to , so have to make me stock nexus Different :) takes me back to when i was a kid.... trying to get me scoot setting off like my speedway bike did, so without the aid of the hand clutch lever, gotta find another way, and nearly there now :) :) :) :) :)
I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

I love my maxi moped, as you will also when you take the plunge. Your riding buddies will secretly envy you too, which is nice. Welcome newcomer and enjoy.

Well according to the Daily Telegraph website, they once tested the Peugeot Satelis 50 Executive. It was quite nippy for a 50cc though, if rather expensive compared to the competition. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/sco ... er....html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Welcome, by the way.

Ok, so I've realised my opening faux pas, I'll try to remember not to repeat it. :oops:

If I ever get round to finishing the restoration of my 1963 Raleigh RM6, I'll post a picture to shame that Camino...
....and that Maxi looks like the mother of all inventions, can I have a go mister?

Anyhoo, picked up mk1 Tmax 500 yesterday and am about to post some tech questions to help me getting it running.

Thanks for the warm welcome all.
