MOPED ARMY

Your green bike sounds sweet!

I used to dream of a Moped with like, these big angel wings stickin outta the sides, and flyin on it with the old leather cap, goggles, and white silk scarf favored by WW I fighter pilots, but I ain't had any of em in a loooong time.

Too tired, mainly.

I have dreamed once or twice about my targa. It has not been positive, one of the dreams were that i was riding at night and my light blows out, along with my voltage regulator (which has happened before), and my other dream was that my choke got stuck while starting, and it wouldnt run (that has not happened).

The Express died due to carb trouble. I kept trying to fix it, and in the same time frame, the electrical went. I kept popping headlights, and it kept running worse and worse.

I didn't know of the Moped Army website at that time, so I did more damage than good and had no way to fix it.

I didn't pay a whole lot for it and I got a lot of mileage. I do wish I'd kept it. I bashed it up into a more compact shape and put it at the curb in a 55 gallon trash bag.

They removed it. When the lady at the vehicle registry kept asking "what did I do with the other moped..." I didn't fess up, cause I thought I might get in trouble for violating some moped disposal ordinance.

Back to the question, a poorly running 1978 express or a new tomos 2000 model--- no contest there. I don't think you can put a bi-turbo on an express... ?!

I really like my Tomos, but I'm jealous of some of the more vintage machines. I don't like honda compared to an old motobecane. I do want a classic ped, and I'm going to get one to fix up in the off season. The honda was okay, but I really abused it.

It was a nice little bike-- would see 23 miles an hour on level ground and 30 or more down a big hill. the engine raced like a bee, very high pitched. It had a lot of plastic, so like my tomos, it was sort of cheezy. I'd love to install metal body parts on the Targa..

I need to get a second ped, so in case the piston kit messes up my bike, I have some wheels while I fix the Tomos

I've been having awful dreams about losing my moped, or locking it somewhere but not being able to remember where.

I had one dream where some pretty ladies talked me into letting then try it, and then they stole it!!

The cause of the dreams is obvious-- My ped's been totalled, and I want a new one....

The weirdest part about the dreams is that the moped in my recent dreams is the one that was just totalled. While I was actually riding the Tomos, I would frequently have dreams but always of my first moped, the 1978 express.

While my Tomos was functioning, It never made it into my dreams. Even though the honda was totalled like 3 years ago, I would dream about having various adventures on it, but always noted (when I woke up) that the NEW bike, that I was much happier with, was never my 'dream transportation".

Now that the Tomos is gone, I have dreams about it all the time..

Does anyone else have dreams about their moped?
