 my sister on her new moped, a simson s51.
following this photograph i took a few month ago:


yesterday she told me she wants to sell it because she thinks it is too manly for her.
then she'll be looking for a new moped again...

If she has to push it to start every time, I can see why she'd want to get rid of it. But she does indeed look good on it.

You mean the bike has character ! (referring to your push starting it...) :)
Reminds me of the BSA Bantam, Triumph Tiger Cub and other bikes I had that dripped oil now and again, needed run and jump starting.... too. Good times. The pedals where always a bit of a sissy thing!

Mopeds, to me, have pedals to make up for lack of engine power and to start up, like the old Puch models (I had one).


however, it's not a MoFa (mix of motor cycle and bicycle). it has a kickstarter and no pedals. last weekend we were cruisin around berlin together on her bike, which was rather annoying everytime we stopped because the kickstarter refused to work so i had to push my sister and the bike in order to get the engine to start up...:D
