    I used to have a Yamaha 50cc US custom moped, it had little apehanger bars, and was shaft driven.
    Somebody commented I looked like a barbie doll on it, must have had shit in his eyes! I could get 40miles ph on it ……….Downhill of course. But I prefer to be on a bigger bike, I like speed! Got bored with moped.

    Ah, but moped racing is totally different. Everyone is limited to the same sort of speed and cornering ability so it is much more fun. Believe me, 40MPH on any moped feels more like 80. It’s not the winning, it’s not the taking part, it’s the feeling of certain death that counts.

    as far as i know mate, and somebody correct me if i’m wrong but i dont think it’s going on any more as the insurance nazi’s have priced it out of everyones reach due to all this no win no free claims culture that we seem to be breeding. Have got a link somewhere, when i get home in the morning i’ll dig it out and post it.
