I have a pack from the moped army go by my place in the city every now and again,  10 or 20 guys in there mid 20's to early 30's riding mopeds w/o mufflers WOT (which is maybe 25-30 MPh). They look like they are having a hell of a good time & it sounds like a group of marauding chainsaws.  I got my start in my early teens on a Solex which was way more fun than it had any right to be.  Never underestimate the ability of a small bike running wide open to plant a smile on your face...

Aprilia RS 125. The Brit's say; Full chat. Guys raking the lawn, making deliveries, whirl around, both fists pumping the sky and hollering something. YES! Being so small, looking like a circus wagon cum race bike and w/a 10-12K 2 stroke howl it seems immune to ticketing.  R3~

The first time I rode a motorcycle, it was a Motobecane Mobylette. That little French moped started my Moto-obsession...
