Apologies if already seen

Belter, a great find 

I never had a fizzy, I was a four stroke boy from the off with the mighty SS50 Honda. Mine had been 'de-pedalled' by (one of) the previous owners and the exhaust baffles had been cut down a bit. It actually went quite well and could keep up with my mates on fizzy's & AP50's quite well. Happy days!

I have been trying to find a picture of me on my FSIE I have it somewhere I will keep looking 

[2112]

I've just remembered, I could get both knee's down on my SS50 - at the same time!

I haven’t found the actual picture yet, but found a picture of the picture 
I have also added a little bit of the moped section which is in the Norfolk motorcycle museum.

Is that a white Craven top box I spy ?

[Rusty Nuts]

Hmmm, or a Kangol or even Rickman if you were flush?

[Asmith61]

2112 It was already on the bike when I bought it, to be honest it was quite a decent top box. Did you also notice the Stadium helmet ? My brother gave it to me and it was to big really 🤔 I did buy a pea shooter exspansion chamber for it 
Rusty Nuts I definitely was not flush ( my birthday is in September and I had to stay on at school so I was the oldest in my year so used the FSIE to and from school ) mine was 1974 M reg and was a SS model the one before the FS1E  I believe it stood for sixstener special ? I only had a paper round at the time 
I left school in may and went straight to work. I didn’t have any bike gear at all 
My mates were a few months younger and Gavin had a Gorelli tiger cross, Paul had a Fantic cabelero and Robin like 2112 had a Honda SS 50
Brilliant times

First crash helmet, Kangol Gladiator, full face and same colour as my bike. The school year before mine had left and were riding Yamaha 125 twins. I remember them being very quick and cool. My first bike was a Yamaha 350 twin that blew them all away. I honestly think I am lucky to have got past those first couple of years.
