Good Old Days

[DIGGER]

Hi this is new member Geoff X fizzy owner rider. I purchased my fizzy in 1976 New colour baja
it was unrestricted with no pedals.Myself and two mates and my Brother all had fizzys and we
all used to remove the Baffles for extra noise. Good old Days!!!

We took them out on the pretence that it made them go faster..... and with your chin on the tank, downhill and a trailing wind it may well have put 1 mph on them
I had a candy ORANGE 73 ss when 16, and thats what iv got now, not the same one though

heres a pic of me at 16 and me know

Hi Geoff here nice picture i have pics of my old fizz i am trying to track one down through one my old mates who should i say owned a brand new AP50 1976.

go for the fiz digger
how about posting your old ped pics on here

in my humble opinion i thought new 1976 baja,s had pedals as for the fizz or ap also in my humble opinion, the fs1e was by far the more common bike to have but the ap was deffinitely a better quality ped build wise although not as common in the day due to the fact they were 2 years late in putting them on the market and the fizz had already got its rightful place at the top of almost every teenagers wish list

It had to have pedals to be street legal back in the day so I am sure yours would have had them too!

err Mr editing writes......... I do believe my candy GOLD has been changed to candy ORANGE.......... on this thread.

In our taxation area they stated on the V5 GOLD.

and I have just looked on V5 or current 73ss...... GOLD

you could have got away with it if you had not used CAPITALS

It is a bit of a pet hate of mine , people calling the paint colour Candy Gold

You can put change the colour to whatever you like on a V5, still doesn't make it right though

If you check the early parts lists you will see it referred to by its correct name of "Candy Orange" on the tinware parts
