Just like the nerdy kid in American Graffitti, I used to own a Moped.  Does
that count? It was really cool until some young delinquent relieved me of
it while jogging at a local school track.  It was an Italian-made Garrelli
and had a 2 speed automatic tyranny.  Rode it to a river and back; a total
of 90 miles and it used a whopping .47 gal. of gas/oil mix.  Calculated to
187 miles/gallon approx.  Not the most comfy ride with the roller bearing
crank spinning at around 11k at its legal limit of 30mph, but it did run a
few river shuttles and fit inside the middle part of my old 71 bus.  I
think it sold new for about $700 back in the late 70's.

Reminiscing with people a sorta know
