SaltyDawg Posted July 18, 2009 #1 Posted July 18, 2009 Ok all you old timers can you name this bike? It is quite possible that I was just offered one of these for $35.00 It was running when the guy bought it but there was a part missing from the carb. He doesn't have the time or inclination to mess with it. To be honest I only saw it once and I remembered what he called it so I was able to find this pic. It was funny how it came about. Let's say he collects things. Some would say he is a pack rat. He has 6 shipping containers and a 40 x 60 metal building stacked and packed with stuff he has "Collected" I commented on his collection and he said name it and I bet I have it. I said "Moped" and he said yep right there and sure enough 10 feet inside the door we were by stood a bike like this one. I was talking to him today and out of the blue he offered it to me for what he paid for it. I said how much and he said $35 bucks. Any guesses?

Flyinfool Posted July 18, 2009 #9 Posted July 18, 2009 Back in the early 70's a buddy of mine had one of those. I thought it was a Honda. He had it apart more that it was together.

SaltyDawg Posted July 18, 2009 Author #14 Posted July 18, 2009 Hey Mini I think you might actually be able to straddle this one and have your feet touch the ground!!

SaltyDawg Posted July 18, 2009 Author #16 Posted July 18, 2009 I forgot to mention, other than the part missing from the carb everything is factory original. If I remember correctly it was in fairly decent shape. Once I get it in hand I'll post some pics.
