My joy is complete

You're weird.

 

Oi. Are you dissing my Street Trip?[1] I'll have you know I do
occasionally buy decent modern bikes.

[1] See sig for its nickname.

 

"Street Cripple"? Hard, narrow saddle, is it?

 

1900s you mean.

 

The grape slicer

 

Takes me back to my first moped, a Honda P50 (hardtail <g>).

This was when mopeds had to have 'pedals as an alternative means of
propulsion' and these didn't fold away like on some machines. The 1/2
gallon tank would get me from Nth London to my girlfriends in
Shepperton and back on a Sunday and college and back for the rest of
the week. ;-)

Bought if for a fiver off a teacher at school, got it going and used
it for 18 months after that. A mate a PC50 without the engine, just as
a cycle. Very slow and heavy but very comfortable (for a bicycle).

I still have my Trojan Mini-Motor somewhere (the one that clamps to a
cycle saddle tube and uses friction drive to the tyre).

What goes round eh .. ;-)

I knew I'd seen one exactly like it (sans motor) and I thought it was the
OCC thing, but as you say, it's not the one but looking at the one that was
used as a base, it's plain that someone stole someone's idea.

Very much so. The chainwheel is an almost exact copy.

Actually, it isn't too bad, but a long run will tell. I wouldn't want to
go any distance as a pillion, though.

 

Yeah, but the chain *is* an exact copy.

Septic cunts are all the same. First they nick the jet engine, then the
rocket and now the fucking chain. They'll want self rule next, you just
watch.

LOL

On both postings.

 

And then they won't want to drink it. Like I said "Cunts"
