MOPED ARMY

Where are you going for Basic and AIT? Do you know where you’re gonna be stationed after AIT?

I was in the active Army as a LT from 1985 - 1988. I served as the fire support officer for the first Apache helicopter Squadron fielded by the Army. I was stationed at Fort Hood, TX. Did my basic training at Fort Knox and my Advanced Training at Fort Bragg.

Welcome to the Army!

Moped lar I meant the moped army, not the actual army 😅 sorry for the confusion mate, and thanks for your service.

Thanks willld. The ns needs work but runs like a top, and dare I say it but the mb5 is "done". Also the trashy miata has been sold to fund all my other bullshit 😂

Get those mirrors on there and use them, Sonny! Real important for life and limb.

Don't feel bad Lar. That's how I read it. 8) Sorry! Welcome Al ! (edited)

Don. Noted, thankyou sir.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everybody

Moped Lar - Allow me to welcome you to the

titanium club - joint replacements are the best !!

I'm new to this army as well although I grew up in the Air Force. The real Air force. You may need to acquire a Sons of Arthritis t-shirt, in honor of your recent titanium acquisition. Here's my dilemma for the Army : My 78 Puch Maxi Luxe idles pretty high and doesn't return to idle by it's little eggplant purple self. It's 113 outside today with the heat index - so I may not get out there this afternoon, but who amongst us knows about the cable / and or / spring and / or throttle and how to make the grip return on it's own ?????

( ps. Be sure and do your PT exactly like they tell you and you'll be better than new in no time !! )

I don't know ... anybody with pink flamingos has to be out there on the edge .

Hmm , come to think of it , most of us here are already there , so , Trudy Fair should fit right in . LOL

Hi Trudy, thanks for welcoming me to the titanium club. I actually have a titanium screw in my right foot, titanium plates, rods and screws in my lower spine and now a titanium left knee. I can already tell this is gonna be a long process to get back to some degree of normalcy. I’ve been doing the PT as I have been instructed. I hate it, but I don’t really have any other choice other than suffering for the next 20 years.

BTW...My wife has the same exact model and color Puch Maxi Luxe. We’ve owned it for over 18 years and love it.

Good luck with your Puch!

Thanks Don! I need all the encouragement I can get....lol.

I’d still keep the riding mower....lol. Luckily, the HOA cuts our lawn in VA.

Hey Lar - I'll see your plates and raise you BOTH knees, BOTH hips, BOTH shoulders- replaced in reverse ( it's a thing ) AND L1,2,3,4 and 5 decompressed and fused. I had my knees done 3 months apart, and my friend, in 3 months, pain and immobility will both be distant memories - in that knee anyway. You'll be so glad you had this done. So why, with all the titanium and at age 66 do I want to start riding a moped now ?

Why the hell not ? I already know ALL the good surgeons. Incidentally- that's my 1972 Aristocrat

Landmaster that my buddy Amy and I painted with house paint and brushes. And since y'all asked I'll be happy to post a picture of my Lincoln. You guys are so nice. Great to hear about another lady with a Purple Puch !!!!!! Moped twin sisters !!!!

Graphite is a good choice of lube .

It makes for some of the best cable lube .
