Yup, mopeds/scooters are GREAT!
With today's gas prices and complex modern lifestyle
small simple bikes are one of the last refuges of sane
functionality; The classic vespas are cool, the modern
400-500cc scoots are amazing and the honda cub
and original monkey are THE best ever.
This one is one of mine, it's just an old 2-stroke Hercules
50 to 70cc project that runs like hell on wheels (top speed
around 110kmh/65mph) it's completely illegal cause it's
just supposed to be able to go 45kmh/30mph) so registering
it is out of the question, as is insurance, but who cares.
I just use it for fun in the forest/fields sometimes and
take it to festivals, fairs, bikerfests and places where
i know the cops won't control paperwork, hehe.

this is my other, street legal/registered, scooter
(but after messing with the carb, exhaust and
pulley it now also goes waaay faster that it's
supposed to go; this one goes about 50mph)
...last month I took off the "rally" decals, now its all black!

2004 Aprilia Rally 50cc...and this one is my trusty daily commuter, hey. it's almost a moped.
97' sr125...lots of cool little bikes around that just need a bit of TLC,
