She's lovely! :) Hard to believe the shape she's in for an '82. Original or restored?

Sadly no. I'm mechanically challenged.

I'd say something in that kind of shape that old would be worth something now. Looks great.

Keeley, my B-I-L had one of those Puch Maxi mopeds back in the late 70's. I used to have a laugh riding it. 8-)

That's about how I feel -- they're a blast to ride! :)

I know what my Scooter, is worth. And it's more than some people would think. haha

But it's worth it for the fun I have riding it.
Stress reliever!

Those Puch mopeds look kinda cool, but I don't think I could handle how slow they go.

They're actually relatively easy to modify to increase the speed. I just got the Maxi going, and I've only ridden her up and down my little street to test things before working on her again. But totally stock, she easily hits 40 km/h before I have to slow down because the road is short. I know some guys who have their mopeds doing around 100 km/h. I don't have too much desire to go really fast.

How fast will your scoot go?

It's a 200cc, I can do 100km/h+, if need be.
But it's happy cruising at 80-90km/h.

100km/h on a moped is crazy!

I came home with this 1991 Harley Davidson FXR tonight. It rides like a bat out of hell!

PS- My sportster is for sale. :)

But you've got to do the funky arm movements when turning and stopping.
Why brew beer I can buy?
