Looks like Cody from BC is planning a cross Canada trip for charity. Looks like a hell of a ride!

You can read about it here. And you can follow him on Twitter here.

Good day everyone! Looks like this season is shaping up to be prime moped riding weather so get your machines tuned up!!

In the near future I may have a few mopeds and/or moped parts to sell or trade, will keep you all informed.

So far the consensus is we will meet the first weekend in May at Ashbridges bay park on the saturday and at Davisville park on the sunday. (*IMPORTANT NOTE*: the signs in Davisville park DO NOT read as Davisville but as someone’s name) Thats May 1st and 2nd, starting the meet at 11:00am each day and, so we have time to do trades or sales, starting the ride about 2:30 or 3:30 and riding until whenever! Please mark it on your calendars!!

For the ride it looks like I will need a loaner if anyone attending is willing. I have my own helmet and license, just need a machine to ride as mine is still a work in progress. I have no issue buying gas and 2 stroke oil! If you will be attending and have a plated loaner I can use please let me know!!

If you have any input feel free to write me!!

Ride hard, Seize soft

Unfortunately, as all of you who know me know, I’m out of space, so I can’t take this little beauty.

This awesome little Carabela runs well, and has papers. The price is $300, so this is a great deal.

If anyone’s interested, give Peter a call at 705 745 2620 or email him.

Just confirming that the poll has closed and the meet is set for the 15th in the park at the corner of Davisville and Mt. Pleaseant here in Toronto!!

Hope to see many of you there!!

K, so today was rather under whelming. I think this may have been due to the short notice as well as the lack of input from potential participants. At the next one which, will be in about 3 weeks I will post a preferred day Poll for maximum effect. This should be set within the next few days and you can give your input then!!

As for what happened today, it was just myself until about 3 o’clock and one other guy showed up, by the name of Frank with a nice blue LX. When he first arrived I wanted to show him how my moby, which I had just managed to fix, was running. I began to start it up when the outer half of the clutch falls clean off. Embarrassing, lol. Guess it had been getting loose for awhile. He and I talked peds for awhile as I attempted to repair the moby. Finally it turned out I had every socket but the one I needed to fix the thing and asked this fellow if he wouldn’t mind going buy my apartment (a few blocks away) and getting the needed socket from my GF who was at home.

He and I exchanged numbers and he was on his way. 20 mins later I attempted calling him with no answer a few times. He also did not appear at the apartment when I called my GF, who had been expecting him from an earlier call from me, and had been looking for him. He did mention that he was somewhat unfamiliar with the area and I would just like to make sure this fellow mopeder is alright. If you know him or ARE him please post here or send an email so I know he/you made it home ok. I hope you are alright, man!!

Hope to see more of everyone at the next meet

Guess it’s spring, they’re popping up everywhere!   

1976 Honda PC50 in Burlington

1975 Bombardier Puch in Toronto

1973 Vespa Bravo in Toronto

2001 Tomos Targa in Bellville

I’m looking for another Batavus HS50 if anyone knows of one up for grabs. 

By the way, registration is open for the Mad Bastard. If we’re doing this, we gotta register. And what about riding on the 12th? Any takers?

It has been quite a long time since I’ve posted on here. I hope everyone is doing well.

I haven’t been riding as much as I used to. I still have my old silver Bullet. It’s running faster than ever. My odometer now reads over 23,000 kms. With new rings and port and polished intake and exhaust the ped goes like a bullet. It would be nice to go for a ride with you all.

I don’t know if any one is aware that Tomos came out with an all new line up of mopeds and scooters for 2008. All Tomos mopeds now come with the A55 engine. At this time there’s stock on red LX’s, Streetmate R’s, red Velo 150’s, black and red Nitro 50’s and blue Nitro 150’s.

Anyhow, I look forward to hearing from you guys and gals, and hopefully we can get together for a ride before the snow comes.
