Here's My two Mopeds, They are Old Solexes.. Solex are quite prevalent over here in the USA, I think they were sold in Australia also.. But never really caught on from what I've heard.

The first one is a 1970 S4800 Model, 49CC 0.8HP Top Speed of about 20mph (32kph) I bought this one on Craigslist with the engine in about 6 boxes of bits.. Amazing everything is all there.. And It runs as well as it does.

The second one is a 1982 4600 Mark II, Same engine, Same Speed.. But It has better lights and Better brakes.. This one was also bought from Craigslist and all it needed was the old gas cleaned out.. It had been sitting for about 5 years, So the gas was like Jelly

I Haven't gotten any particularly interesting mowers recently, But here's an old 1974 Ariens 21LMS That I scored from Craigslist for $10.. Tecumseh LAV Gearstart engine runs great.. This was the first year to have the friction disc self propel system.
As for Joe, I assumed by his greyed out name he had been banned. I remember hearing he or his wife were having some health issues that were keeping him from doing mowers as much as he used to.. I hope he rejoins us soon.. He's a great bloke.
