I thought some of you may like to see some of my moped projects, i have all ways had a soft spot for these and started buying and selling them to make a bit of extra cash on the side, nothing much but I have fun doing it so it's worth it for me. Here is a pic of a Peugeot 103 I sold a while ago, it had a performance 49.9 cc engine with a race exhaust and was good for 50mph. Ok ok it doesn't sound like much, but there being no gears or clutch to worry about it get there pretty quickly. Once I sold that I picked up a few more, here is a couple that I will we build and modify, this is my rat cafe racer project... How I got it New front end Old engine had had it, so i built a a new with the engine off a more powerful bike, then I added a alloy 49.9 cc fast road piston and cylinder with a polished head,bigger carb and performance exhaust. Exhaust till needs some work befor i can get it to fit. But now I need to fix up this Peugeot 103 and get it sold. Hope some of you enjoy.

Great stuff! Here's my old Honda, its long gone now unfortunately!! Currently building this 1961 NSU Quickly (slowly!) Hmm, these don't look like the bicycle wheels it came with! Rear end is going to take some widening to get that rear wheel in! Looking to get a Honda C50 (or similar!) hanging here! I have a mate machining a new headstock as we speak. Taking a back seat at the moment while I get on and finish my house, but hoping to get a bit more done this year.

The more modern scooter arent an issue, I don't think there's the following here that seems to be across the rest of Europe.

Pitty you cound't pick up a Peugeot 103 engine for your nsu?! The tuning on them is mental. But i suppose the Honda engines are tuneable too?

God they look huge for a 125 lol. They look so cool on the nsu. Is that all! I thought it would of been at least 100 quid or so! I also have a Suzuki gt50 i'm restoring, there as rare as poor quality wobbly children's play pony poop now.

For those it may interest I thought i would post up this bike i bought up a couple of weeks ago I bought that after I find out I was ripped off with my last gpz witch turn out to have a probleme with the Log Book, it's just a pity the last owner did tell me this befor he took my money!!! So now the black bike is a later model of gpz witch has better breaks up front and disc at the back, so the plan now is the combine the best bits of both bikes

I spent nearly every summer holiday in Les Sables d'Olonne at Camping Les Fosses Rouges. I first went in 1975, last went in 1996 (missed a few in between as I got older). I loved it there. Rock pooling was great, but the last time we were there, there wasn't a scrap of life on the rocks
