MOPED ARMY

Mmmmmmmmm warm climate, I would even ride a Jawa for some of that right now....teasing, nice bike.

YW, they ARE hated, but I remember a buddy of mine had one way back in '83 I think? He beat it, and it never did not run, orange step thru, he jumped a curb and tore the exhaust off, rode it anyway, you could hear him for about 15 mins before he arrived. :) I liked the thing, but then I'm a Motobecane guy..so yeah. Jawa's seem to have bad electrical issues, how have or have you worked around those?

You should put their web-site on the wiki, it may well get more of these back on the road? Awww, 17 days from halfway around the world? We suffer so...used to take months to go that far! :) At least they are available. If you are into searching this site, there was a guy who built the hell out of Jawa mopeds, look around, he knew his stuff, I can't remember his name though. There were some who claim to have built their own thyristors?

Find any of them Florida moped riders yet?

Theres a tutorial on the wiki to build your own thyristor. it's stupid easy and makes a fucking lightning gun. BZZAPPO!

I built 2 just because most of the parts came in 2 packs from radioshack (back when you could still buy electronics parts ther)

they worked great. its v easy.

I take it you're not in Pittsburgh... Which part of florida?

I read about building your own thyristor, priced the Parts and decided to just buy original. I mean, I wanted to build my own but the capacitor cost was high and then there was that minimum shipping charge. Then there was the fact that this top taskbar the integrated coil/thyristor unit.

No Nips, you just wish you were blasting with me right now here in GWR. Which is a little bit south of Venice FL.

No snow and blasting anytime is a nice reward for the penance of home maintenance, here in GWR.
