MOPED? For FREE? YES PLEASE!
Late '70s/ early '80s Columbia Commuter.
50cc, 2-stroke, I believe it's a 1 speed (didn't feel/hear a shift) RUNNING! Check it: (pic he sent me from previous owner) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/...d41d3c29_o.jpg Scooped this from my step father. Apparently it was given to him by a neighbor about 5 years ago when said neighbor decided to move but didn't have a way to take it with him. I never knew it was there untill I mentioned to him I might need scooter for the next 90 days. (take a guess why:rolleyes:) "[blah blah]...you can have it if you want, just don't get rid of it 'till after I die" My step father, being the redneck that he is, noticed the wheels started to rust so he painted them silver (tires and all LOL). The brakes squeal a little bit and need to be adjusted, the throttle sticks at any position (needs to be manually turned back to slow/idle...awesome cruise control though!) but the damn thing runs like a raped ape! EDIT: Just noticed the tires are dry rotted real bad! :( It apparently wasn't ridden much but was left outside at some point. Structurally, it's in good shape but the stickers and paint are gone/spent. Awesome find no? |

Lucky! I've been trying find one for a while now.
If your dad dies (kidding, of course), and you wanna unload it- let me know. |

Re: MOPED? For FREE? YES PLEASE!
if you fix it up you can sell it in richmond for a good profit, my buddy does it all the time and gets mopeds for like 100$ and sells them for like 500 or more.

CSM tC?? Cool man.
Did I meet you in person at Langley Speedway?? |
Re: MOPED? For FREE? YES PLEASE!
Yeah.... Not in person just through the site and here. I've met Christina in person though.
You have a new medal for the link. Got anything else for me, resto/mod wise? I'm sure the shocks/forks need to be rebuilt (unless they are supposed to be that squishy) and I'd love to squeeze a little more speed out of it. To hell with the 35mph law!! |
