I've been thinking about buying a moped to get back and forth to work to help on gas and mileage on my lease car. I saw one yesterday in the wantad digest. I went up and looked at it. It was pretty old but still runs good. I paid a couple hundred for it (or more). I don't think it was worth that much, but they are hard to come by and also will pay for itself in gas soon enough. I just hope it stays reliable. This is a picture of one like it.

I hope it works out to be a good one. When it gets warmer that will save a lot on gas. Helen
I use to have a moped in my teens! I loved it.

what a wonderful idea!! with gas so expensive, this is an excellent resource to get you from point A to point B!!! (my son with his Cadillac should think about a moped LOL)
enjoy (and wear a helmet LOL)
betty
Might be fun, too!
Good idea, I cannot imagine how much money you are going to save. Have fun!

Good for you! I've want one, but everyone thinks I'll fall off and really hurt myself.
hugs, Bethe Isn't this your weekend off?
I think if you can do it, its a great idea. I know it will save tons of gas money for sure. Ian has an hour drive into work so the best he is going to be able to do is a little car that gets good gas mileage. With the warmer weather coming up it will be perfect. Kelly
I believe you will have a blast!!! and save money, how great is that.

I know you will like your moped and you definitely will save on the Gas bill ~ so long as it runs OK and is reliable ~ you take care when out riding it ~ Ally x
Hi LInda, thanks for sending me your journal link... and thanks for visiting me and leaving the comment about Max... so thoughtful of you to do that. I love the idea of a gas saving moped... if I wasnt' worried about my hair getting messed up in the wind (I'm a teacher, I like my hair to be 'done', you know, hair spray and all) I'd consider it. Still, the thought of saving gas money, and riding a motorcycle does have appeal. I'd have to get over my fear of them first, the lack of protection. I have to drive about 9 miles to work. Let us know how it works out for you. bea
Good idea. Don't forget your helmet. Paula
It also has the added bonus of being able to squueze past traffic! It'll save you a lot of money but please be careful on it, roads can get slippery when they're wet and watch out for manhole covers, they're slippery when dry! Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
I have a moped and I love it! I rarely ride it anymore but I do love it. It got me many places in live for years and years and now it's just parked in the garage. Hopefully I will ride it again soon.
Wow that's an antique!
