So... a day off sick(sick in the head maybe). I was bored, and looking at trademe and I stumbled upon a moped that took my fancy. So i brought it It turned out to be a 1959 VĂ©loSoleX 1700 49cc - in completely rust-spec mint condition(rooted) ...christened P.A.M (pedal assisted motorbike) by my wife . . . If that wasnt bad enough, i found two more locally so naturally hit buy now on those too (now im really fu#$ked in the head) original purchase on the right - another 1959 1700 on the left and a very original 1961 2200 model in the middle I set about quickly dismantling a motor and learning the intricacies(breaking) of small 2-stroker motors. After a week of cleaning, honing, part hunting and reassembly - IT WAS ALIVE!! One day i shall have at least one looking awesome and be hooning down to the local patisserie - ordering le baguette and crumbing it all the way home.
