Well….it started when i was 12. One of my friends’ dads had an old AMF roadmaster. At the time, all i wanted was something motorized to spin around on. I know it was dorky, and slow, but i didnt care. I didnt have a license for it, and my dad said no riding on the roads. Just wait. I couldnt. I rode it up and down my yard, making a long dirt streak where i kept going back and forth. It wasnt enough room. One saturday my parents were gone. I took it out on the streets. It was an amazing feeling. Wind against my face, buzzing along at 25 mph down my streets and neighborhood. Looking at all the envious stares of the children. Was bizzing and buzzing….then….a cop. He saw me. Saw no license. No helmet. and some little twerp on a moped. I got pulled over, warned, and the worst…he called my parents. Yep….well anyways i got a batavus starfite when i was 14, rode that to death all over. Got a magnum ltd (my first one). Sold that. Bought two mobys and a gadabout. Sold those, bought a tomos a3. SOld that. Bought another original Magnum ltd. Worked on it over the winter. Not done yet. Kitted, etc. I LOVE it. I love mopeds. I will never stray from the moped world. 6 years later I am a moped store operator, ebayer, and entrepreneuer. thank you mopeds.
