MOPED ARMY

That’s not a 1978 it’s a 1977 or older, The handlebars, controls, wheels and decal are 1977 1976 type,

11k mi, it pretty much needs a rebuild not just basic work

It would not take much to get that back in fighting trim! Nice machine!

That Maxi is sick

I just noticed that someone painted half the upper fork legs on that maxi pictured above white ... presumably to match the white shocks in the back? Never seen that before.

That is interesting.

I sit corrected...I looked at data plate...it's 2 years older...1976! And I did buy it then. We had a gas crisis thanks to the Arabs. Cars got even/odd plate days to fill. Thought this would be a good alternative. ..it was! I got over 80 mpg with my 185 lbs on it. Very European look. Biggest bitch were flat tires...riding in the bike lanes. But then died out after several years. Then CA outlawed selling of new 2-strokes.

Thanks Todd....Seems they might be a branch of a Boston club - same name...but little info.

Mike,

When I got it, I put white reflective tape on the shocks to try and be seen at night. When I had new tires installed several years ago, they were too wide and scrapped...so I took the front fender off...now smooth and I don't ride in the rain anyway. Last mechanic spray canned it blue - looks OK ...same color as original but not a good job.
