hey P-man:
if we got two of these. then we could plan a trip to the Rockies or beyond. you would never have to worry about being bored at this slow speed, your laughter would keep us awake. imagine the scenery we would see going a stunning 35km. or we could take the coastal route down to San Francisco thru the Redwood forest. or . . . after all, it's a machine made for long distance travelling.

My dad's supposed to be sending me a moped so at least one of you is covered. Of course, you could always do it a la Dumb and Dumber and ride double.

That would be sooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! That guy had balls!!!!!!!!! I would love to ride through the rockies,but I don't think that moped could haul a big FAT guy like me for that length of time. ;D That guy should be in the Scooter/Moped Hall of Fame. I still can't believe he did that!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Too bad we don't have a couple of mopeds to use for our upcoming "Around the Lake" epic ride.

Let's call it the RATL (ride around the lake) and turn it into an annual event. Ken is in. He wants to stop for tea in Vernon though. BTW, it's about 135km.

YIKES !!! must have had lots of torque to get there under its own power.
re: RATL. RON: to put it in another way . . . how many gas jugs will you have to carry ??
actually could rename it PATL. everyone gets one full tank of gas, and when you run out you just P(ush) it the rest of the way. YUK YUK

...surely a car load of good looking ladies will happen by and save me.... The Swedish beach volleyball team drives around just looking for stranded motorists like you. |

I always heard that the swede volleyball team looks for guys like me broken down on the side of the road. Thanks for confirming the rumour cause I've been scared - thus the jerry can I carry. I try to take a low profile because I don't want any fighting over me. Now I know that I have to be ever more careful! Heard about the BBQ/Moped incident through a reliable source.... I am a bit disappointed that I wasn't invited out to the BBQ however....

Hey! Noel my friend I would do a lot of terrible things to you.... Lie, cheat, steal, make fun of your accent, slap your butt... Well maybe not the slap thing cause you might like it.... However there are 2 things in life that I have learned not to do.... 1) Mess with a man's kids and 2) Mess with his wheels. The van is safe! So am I in for the next BBQ?  Workin on pics... I heard there are some around..... Anyone? ? |

RONFUCHS, if your jerrycan is empty and you're done waiting for Swedish beach volleyball rescuers, then make your way up to the old farmhouse. You can stay the night in his barn as long as you promise not to touch any of his three daughters...
