100 mpg goodness

posted 5 months ago by eyes and i

With gas prices rising as the sun every morn', a newmoped is looking more and more attractive. I might invest in a new (vintage) one for the summer. Any of you beautiful people rock mopeds//scooters?

    This is my baby from last year, 1980 General 5 Star. I put a motorcycle sissy bar on it and then killed it while offroading last summer.

    My roommate had an old one. I tried to take it out one day, but couldn’t turn it because my legs are too long. Hopefully you’re short enough.

    Oil companies love me.

    I was actually looking at a fully electric scooter but my other car died, and I need something that I can drive in the rain/cold.

    Eh, I’m 6 ft. and It really didn’t bother me. I mean, you can ride a bicycle, can’t you?

    You and me both. I was so glad to sell that thing. It was my wifes first car and I used it as a work vehicle for several years. So embarrassing to be seen in that thing.

    I have the 10mpg goodness. Haha

    My TC gets 25-29. I can’t ride a bike so a scooter is sooooo out of the question.

    Oh the things I’d do and never mention to a living soul to have a Mini. haha

    Idk about the towns you all live in but noone really ever rode scooters here yet this summer I’ve seen atleast 15 people cruising around town on them. They’re quite fun to ride.

    haha nice car, I have a 66 mustang that destroys gas. So I never get to drive it. So I drive my pickup for everything, it sucks but works. I want to get a bike though.. would love it.

    Yeah, but pretty large frames. I’m 6'4 and leggy. I’ll just roll the gas guzzler or bike.

    I have a regular car (07 cobalt) but get 40+ mph on the highway and 33+ in the city. Everyone around here (South Texas) drives big pickups. Sucks for them.

    The mileage I get now is in the teens I think. I haven’t had the car long enough to really test it out. It’s about to get worse, though. I have a bored out 350 waiting for it. Haha

    I live less than 10 miles from my place of work, so it doesn’t really hurt me that badly. lol

  18. Ramvere - Corey avatar

    Ramvere said 5 months ago

    haha nice, My car is at my parents right now, I used to drive it when I could, wasted a lot of money on gas just to have fun, but the times were worth it. I put a 351w in mine, it wasnt built for that big so we had to do a lot of adjustments to the car. how long have you had yours?

    And my gas guage has been broken for a long time, but I assume I get like 10-13 if im lucky. but dont quote me on that.

    I’ve had this trans-am for about a month and a half now. I grew up around 302's and 351's. My dad would probably disown me for buying a GM car. Haha

    Nice Ped man, looks as if it’s in good condition. I like the older Hondas. Are you in upstate newyork? Looks.. scenic.

    I got your IM the other night btw, I was out and about so I didn’t get back to you. My B. The scooter next to the Rolls Royce blotter acid in my profile is a Kinetic TFR moped.

    For about 300 bones you can buy an island hopper. Its essentially a weed whacker motor that hooks up to the back tire of any bicycle.
