Collectors?

I know there are more than a couple of collectors of unusual bikes and scooters in here. I stumbled across this link today while looking at repos, etc.

The Motobecane is a nice moped. I have two, a 1979 and a 1980.

 

The simplicity of these little bikes is just fascinating. The Motobecane is a little touchy for a few adjustments to get to run well and a few special tools are required to work on them. Still, fun to own if not to ride daily. I get one of these, or the 1980 Puch out once a year or so to just give them a little run. The Puch will get up to 42 mph but you want a smooth road and a good grip on the bars at that speed.
