In a few words please!

Postby funkymoped » Sat Jun 18, 2011 5:49 pm

In one paragraph can you PM me why you bought a Fizzy second time around and you age as well please?
All will be revealed soon...

Ie: My name is John 49, I am from Aberewatever on sea and I bought my fizzy three years ago to annoy the wife.
I use it as an ornament as I spent to much restoring it to spoil it by riding it.
I am the phantom Fizzy stripper.

I am 45 years old and when I was in my late thirties I saw a early fizzy for sale which was similar to one I had when I was sixteen so on spur of the moment I opened my wallet and bought it on the spot, I have had bought , restored and sold numerous bikes since then.

My name is Simon, I'm 49 years old & live in Portsmouth. I had a Fizzy DX when I was sixteen and have recently bought another one that is identical out of nostalgia, after riding a similar old Honda bike on holiday 2 years ago.

I'm 47 years old, was in a local bookshop a couple of years ago and came across the Haynes book of restoring a FS1E, purchased the book and a dismantled ped a few weeks later. I am SLOWLY!! still putting it all back together again.
Cheers,
John ;)

My name is Gordon, age 48, bought a FS1E because that's what I had at 16 and wanted to bring back some very fond but distant memories ;o)

my name is Simon, i am 46. i bought a fizzy to take part in a charity endurance moped race back in 2002. i had an RD50 when i was 16 but was jealous of mates that had unrestricted fizzies.
kept the bike in my garage ever since, now i've given up racing i have no bikes to play with so decided to restore the fizz.

Bought my first fizzy, a mint Baja Speedblock -(SGC 872R) during the summer of 1978 and like Mike W below, at 12:01 on the 7th October 1978 I went out onto the main roads for a 3 hour ride in the freezing rain and fog. It was stolen a few months later and I was totally devastated:cry: I did replace it with a bit of a shed of a Popsicle Purple but it was never quite the same although a bit quicker ;) :D

Always wondered what ever happened to it as it was my pride and joy :?:
Thoughts of my fizzy came to the forefront of my mind again in 2005 when I discovered eBay and wondered if there were any surviving fizzys out there!!?? :o :shock: :? :lol:

Six years on I currently own 11 fizzys and the the rest is history as they say! :roll:

My name is Mike; I'm 43 and live in Woking. At 12:01 am on my 16th birthday I rode my 1977 Fizzy having waited years and it was great. Had been thinking about a restoration project for a while and a similar model came up and the decision was made.
