Zilvia Moped Riders?

[Ian]

I just picked one up for a multitude of reasons...main ones being I'm gonna need it soon and I'm bored.



Anybody else here got a ped?

[azndoc]

What's that saying?

"Riding around a moped may be fun, but your still a fag."

lol

[jackjack]

i have a used honda i bought at a garage sale for dirt cheap. $5, full tank of gas. cant beat it.

[Grendel]

Man, I want one... do you have to take a safety course to ride one?

Also, by moped you mean the faggio things right?

tell you the truth, i've never checked into it. i normally ride mine on the weekends. locally, if i'm bored. i drive by police ALL the time...... they dont even look at me.

friend of mine told me as long as you have a valid drivers license (class D). not sure if thats correct though.

[s13gold]

i just took a vacation to hawaii. i was crusing on that shit all day.
no license needed. just 45 bucks a day including rental and insurance.

[SW20Racer]

i believe in some, -maybe a lot- of the states there is a limit on cc's before you need to have an m class notification on your license...ill check into it for my area now that i think about it, because there is a nice scooter shop here. how is your scooter when it comes to going up hills op?

Cool, I'll check em out. Thats not a bad price at all.

I have to take the freeway to work... do these things do 70mph? I could probably take the toll road if they don't, would still be cheaper than gas for my car I'd bet...

[MADE]

Like mentioned above each state is different I remember as a kid riding a moped under 15 and it was legit. (no tag no license). Iv'e only seen/known one person to get stopped by the man on a moped. You really gotta be fucking up!(haha) My friend got his 2nd DUI on a Moped thus sending him upstate(prison).

I'm sure it will kill the MPG but they have a ton of aftermarket parts to increase torque/hp.

[S14DB]

Most states anything under 50cc you only need a Drivers license.

[s14_legend]

once you modify them they are hella sick

thats the one! its like that here in ab-aba-abalama

the question remains, how are these things on the uphill? would it be better to get off and push? im not too current on the torque ratings of these freeway beasts

[Phlip]

This Guy's family business sells them...
If I worked in the city I live in, I would have gotten one a LONG time ago.

[miucus]

ive gone thru at least 10 mopeds while i was living in beijing. I would go to the local village and offer a local villager $20 for their used moped. they were so cheap that my friends and i would go moped searching around the villages after school, pick up a moped for the day to ride/offroad, and at the end of the day, light them on fire and roll them off a cliff and sit back to watch them explode.

[rainier]

there was a scooter/moped thread already posted not too long ago on OT.

but yeah in california, to ride legally on the street, your scooter needs to be registered and insured, and i believe 50cc or larger.

if your getting a moped and dont have the balls to get the class m1 license, you can alwasys renew your m1 permit over and over.

[96Turbo]

most states allow any 2 wheeled street legal machine under 49cc to be ridden with just a driver's license. I got my "motorized bicycle license" when i was 15. This legally allows 15 year olds to cruise around on mopeds and it was the best summer of my life lol. I personally think mopeds are the shit. I've got a '03 Yamaha Zuma.

Of course everything i own with an engine never remains stock. I went with the 70cc aluminum big bore cylinder, 21mm carb, high flow filter, fiberglass reed valves, upgraded variator (automatic shifter pulley system thing that peds and snowmobiles use.

Combined a lightweight frame that you can flick into a corner full lean in like .001 sec with a nasty ass 2 stroke engine and you've got way too much fun. It sounds ridiculous, has a wicked 2 stroke powerband, tops out at like 60mph, and i can ride wheelies on it. everyone do themselves a favor and get a stock or modified scooter. you'll save a ton of gas money and/or have fun (notice i said and/or cuz the gas mileage goes to shit when you start modding). Shit is still like 40mpg though, and i could probably go a little leaner...i'm just scared to (already melted 1 piston---due to shitty mixture)

[LongGrain]

i rode around on my friends moped today, it was pretty fun

[98s14inaz]

I opened this thread and I thought to myself..."wow, a thread about dating fat chicks" lol

Fat chicks are like mopeds, fun to ride until your friends find out.

damn, i knew that joke was coming. i was surprised to see it took that long though. you can't knock fat chicks until you've tried one, the same can be said about fast mopeds. lol

[98s14inaz]

I'm not knocking you. The way gas prices are going we might all be riding those things like it was china or something.

uhhhhh ahahahah

[errolorion]

only fags ride mopeds

[WanganRunner]

(waits for 240trainee to pop in this thread)

I don't have a moped, but I ride a Ruckus, which is close enough.

I rode that bitch over 100 miles on Saturday, it was fun.



modified mopeds/scoots are cool. I don't really see why they're popular in CA though, if you're going to go to the trouble of a motorcycle license, just buy a motorcycle. Build a CB750 cafe.

[Ian]

Yeah 240 trainee lives down the street from me


I have a minimally modded moped...it's kinda ghetto rigged but that's part of owning a moped haha


I'll post pics after I go to the shop today to blast up some parts and put them back on...

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

You should get a mean looking leather jacket, a really vicious looking helmet and grow a really long beard. You'll look like a biker!!!! sort of.

As for the mpg thing goes, that's why I'm on a diet.

[exitspeed]

I'm seeing so many more now then I ever have before. No doubt the gas prices are the reason.

I've been considering one lately and I've always been super anti-faggio. But whatever, gas is cheap, and if you put a helmet on no one will know.

I've also been contemplating a smaller Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, motorcycle.

[Ian]

PS

In VA you don't even need a driver's license to ride a moped (sub 50cc vehicle)...I thought most places were like that

[ericcastro]

dude,

You Just entered a whole new world of hipster pain!!!

You aint shit unless you gotta peddle start it!! (as the hipsters say) just giving you the heads up.

i would like one though.
