"This was the best one but I did not verify it as a Tomos. This fun old man actually asked me to take a picture of his motorcycle when he saw me taking pictures. He said this one is fifty years old. It started right up and he rode away, purring like a kitten."
I'd paint flames on the tank, but that's just me ...a couple more pics:
The bikes a Puch, vs50d, just like the one I had as my first bike back in the day! They were a good machine and able to handle the abuse a cack-handed teenager could throw at it whilst learning the art of ridding and motorcycle maintenance, never as fast as my friends Yamaha fs1e (or 'fizzy's'as we used to call them) though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! There's just something about a patina'd machine that is still mechanically sound that really amuses me.
