Jack M Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Okay Fin, I put the real logo back. Can my avatar NOT be a moped now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hah nice one Jack :p That was the logo at around 10:30PM PST last night. Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ghostrider Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hey I like the moped! Looks like Fin is a Moped Army fan!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! :eek: Jesse Who? Look at that sweet ride! The maltese cross mirror and taillight and custom chrome straight pipe exhaust will not only say 'hey look at my sweet moped' but it will also rupture your ear drum.

ncermak Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 ok...so seriously. was this just jack and fin getting bored without snow, or is it a hostile takeover... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yea, put that under Jack and I just getting a little bored :D Ghostrider: Ha, you guessed it, got those shots from the Moped Army site. Those guys are way into there mopeds. Is that your red moped in the photo? I fall somewhere in between as I am scooter guy myself. At 200cc it is hardly a moped, but with 10' wheels and a full spare tire/wheel it is not much of a performance bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ghostrider Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 haha..thats awesome. I have a new respect for Fin. The guys that started the moped army live down the street from me. They also have a shop in downtown Kalamazoo called 1977 Mopeds thats just filled with vintage mopeds. I'm not actually in the army but have been a long time honorary member...Don't think I'm Emo enough to just be a member. There was a big rivalry in town between the frat boys and the army. It all came from a letter to the editor in the university newspaper about how the Moped Army sucks. Western Michigan University Herald Attacks Moped Army It was a huge fiasco actually. But yea..thats my moped. 1978 Sachs Balboa. Found it in a barn of an old farmer and bought it for $300. I've done quite a bit to restore it and make it frikkin sweet but it sits with a flat tire and needing a good carb cleaning now. It'll do about 40mph with my custom exhaust...actually its more just a header. I think it makes the bike louder than if it had nothing. My neighbor complains all the time but loud pipes save lives I always say. Here is a better picture before I started to fix it up...but you can see the pipe :D I love the tank..still with its original paint and chrome.

fin Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Ghostrider, Nice ride! Dude that ain't no exhaust, that is a pipe conected to the cylinder . You should go all "West Coast Chopper" and wrap the pipe up and towads the rear and then put a sharp point on it. I put red Italian racing shocks on my Vespa as a joke as well. "Race" and "Vespa" should not be used together. On a good day she'll do 55mph but would go faster if I did not live at 9000 ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ghostrider Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 haha...oh..i've been there. I've got the maltese cross mirror and taillight. I have yet to get a custom seat made but thats next. I built a website for a custom motorcycle builder (Twisted Twin )and we talked about raking the front and stretching it out but decided it was in such good shape it would be a shame. So thats still a project of mine to make a WCC quality moped. Although we painted up my roomates moped too. what color? Green for the money and gold for the honey Good idea about the pipe though...thatd be sweet to wrap it up since youre right its essentially a pipe to the cylinder...it gets a little toasty. Although fun to see flames come out of a moped doing a burnout. Yes...I have done a burnout with it (you gotta lift up the back a little..not quite that much power but it looks sweet on camera.) check out this new design from Sachs. Its called the MadAss. Disc brakes, HID lights and still a moped. Ride On. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 c'mon, no mopeds are like fat chicks jokes?? (before anyone gets offended, i like big girls) they are only fun until yer friends see you on one?? heh-heh chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 As in too much crack! I'm shifting to second gear at 55 with the front wheel not touching. Seriously now, Ive heard of a guy with a Vesper and a RD350 motor hidden under a box! Now thats a moped! Personally, I'm more of a YSR50 kinda guy only with a lot more motor.
