Well just happened to be passing a workingmans club and noticed a gathering of Mopeds and other old shiters... so in for a looksie, and look what we found.

I was impressed with the age and condition of these bikes and their riders, check the pics out, real expansion chambers, twin pipes, and I now know were Eric Buell got his under bike exhust idea from..... dident relise Heinkel (aircraft builder of the famous Me109) built bikes nor did I know that Philips and Raleigh did either.

Couple off small block bikes throghen in aswell.

Wow awesome pic's mate...
a great collection of mopeds/scooters all together at once.

Yeah I remember a couple of pushbikes with motors on them going around Palmie North when I was growing up... I have seen one up here in Auckland on the roads a while back as well...

Me 109 = Messerschmitt - they built a bubble car after the war and also a scooter, I beleive.
Heinkel produced mainly bombers (He111), but also did a tiny jet fighter (He162)
Saw a Heinkel scooter up in Aucks many years ago - probably the same one.....

Nice - I've ridden several of those.I don't think the BSA moped is the real deal,maybe just a sticker on the tank.The Bantam is a D10,maybe 1967 and 4 speed....my wife thinks it was her friends,she's emailing the photo.Most were euro,but some,like the Francis Barnet were British.Most mopeds were salvaged for their petrol tanks in the 70s - for use on choppers.I carried one of those little Ducati 4 stroke moped motors over to OZ as hand luggage....I had it in a TEAL bag,they unzipped the bag,but just zipped it up again because it was still all dirty.
