Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
this thread is now about bikes we ALL regret selling.
my Puch M125 definitely tops the list for me. if i could have any bike back it'd be that one.:
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
i cant take sachs seriously. sorry. clean peds though. that g3 would have been amazing with an e50 on it though
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
Agh! Your killin me Larry!
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
Damn, those are clean. I've sold some bikes I don't regret per say, but I'd like to have them again. Money is what it is sometimes.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
wow they look (M) mint or (NM) near mint!
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
I miss my MB-5! :(
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
My fist ped, from 1977 k-zoo. Drove me crazy cause I didn't know how to work on it. Now I kinda wish I still had it. I think its up in Petaluma somewhere.
Glad this one went to a good home though.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
im sorry im such a packrat and cant sell anything. i would be so much happier with fewer bikes, but i cant sell them. it sucks.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
I agree with Ben, but I've sold and traded bikes and I regret it. I wish I still had my hardtail Moby. It was in great shape. I also miss my FA50. FA50s have always been solid peds for me, even though they dont have pedals. Never had one that wasn't a die-hard and I've had three. I dont know why I keep selling and trading them.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
This one's not mine, but it's the same bike. 350cc 2 stroke with dual carbs and rotary intakes.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
What about bikes that you regret painting? I painted my nostalgia before I knew anything about mopeds or what a nostalgia was. Not the rarest bike in the world, and it wasn't in the best condition, but I still really wish I hadn't. At least the wheels are still in great shape.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
less than 500 miles
limited edition
so fucking clean.
lost my job and had to pay rent.
still bummed over this one.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
I was wondering what happened to the General... Did it at least go to a good home?
Re:
yes it went to a cool kid named calvin up in detroit. he is restoring it even more, its his first moped. hopefully he comes to some rallies this summer. i\'ll buy him a beer.
Re:
I agree with Ben also. I can't seem to sell any of the bikes that I put any love into.
Re:
ben has a TON of bikes, pretty epic collection. a lot of rare stuff that i can see not wanting to part with. it's ok ben, you can just keep giving me the random shit that's taking up space!
Re:
i sold a shitty sachs once and regretted it. it was actually a ratty beater but i had that sentimental attachment to it, ya know? well about a year or so later the kid left it outside in the rain for a while, wouldnt start right up for him so he just left it. finally he decided he didnt want it anymore and i bought it back! for much less than i sold it to him for! yea! so now we are reunited and i am pleased.
Re:
you should make that into a movie, with the Sachs being played by julia roberts.
Re:
I'd give my left hand for that General. I'd need the right for the throttle.
Re:
ugh, yeah. i was BUMMED. but rent was DUE.
Cry me a fucking tear
Boo hoo.
here ya go
Re: here ya go
still kicking myself...
I'm so sorry I sold....
Sorry you miss your bikes Larry. I found that so many bikes come and go that I try not to get too attached because there is always another nice one coming along soon. I even sold a utra rare motron with a V2 but i have a few other oddities that have taken its place.
Re: I'm so sorry I sold....
