it was a good weekend.

my derp-e lagunz only allows bros

Matt W.Chemical Beach, 2009. I sure did love remote flash.

The engine is secured with a bolt and a nut to the bracket where the spring would normally attach. i met christophe at the LA races, took a bunch of pictures, ive posted some here. He’s such a nice guy and has such a unique perspective on mopeds from his european background versus everyone from the US. He is right about the torque, my bike was a monster with stock gearing and the 80cc kit, it wanted to lift the front wheel up all the time. if you look at the black and white photo, you’ll notice my rear sprocket is about a 35t versus peugeots stock 55. that has calmed things down a lot and allowed me to not rev out at 40mph with the stock gearing, unfortunately i dont have any real gauge of how fast it goes, but it certainly feels fast.
another thing i can offer is that there were a few dual variated subframes made for different models by peugeot. there were a couple step throughs and one top tank “country” bike. depending on where christophe got his subframe it may be off of the off road bike. it wouldnt surprise me if the gearing on the jackshaft side of the subframe for that model was for lowend and not a nice cruising speed like a 104D would have.

coming to ghosticon?

ohaiitsseely:

let me know and i’ll say hi if i see you! i should be around most of saturday, hopefully rocking a “new” sachs eagle II.

edit: i’ll be at the meanwhile friday night, but that is a given. i’d be there rally or not, and everyone knows it.

I was raised not to talk to strangers and you Internet folk are just that.

Moped thieves drool.

thegaskettes:

Hey moped friends, Tracy Daggr has had his moped snatched and we want it back. If you’re in the LA area and you spot it, help us out and snatch it back and maybe beat up whoever had it.

They could paint it, but its a pinto frame with a tomos engine and its a pretty unique bike. Thanks for helpin out friends!
