With winter starting to settle in and the weather becoming unpredictable, using a GoPro can be a bit of an issue. As a result I thought I would run a series of these short memory lane videos. If they prove to be unpopular things might change but I wanted to do them to get peoples memories and thoughts on these old but not ‘Classic’ bikes which I grew up with in one form or another. This time the moped that ruled the 70’s, the Yamaha FSiE.

Thanks for all your praise for my Fizzy and for Mototechniks for getting it running perfectly. Back in the day I had a 1974 Candy Orange one then I traded that for a 1976 DX. It certainly has rekindled loads of memories for me and it gets used occasionally and resides in the warmth of my house and not the garage!!

@TAYM Год назад

Marvellous, thank you for letting me film it, what bike, so many memories (even though I was an AP50 boy 😂😂😂) took me straight back to my youth 😁 would be great to do it again sometime with sound 😁

@kevinmills5052 Год назад

My mates had fizzes and A.Ps .dad bliss him brought me a garelli tiger cross. It cost new £250. And it was dad's way of helping me start off my working life at the age of 16. Sadly he passed away this year. But they were good memories. The tiger cross was a bit quicker than the fizzes and A.Ps. but the lights were terrible, no battery ended up fitting bike lights on the rear. Ps thanks for the memories, just subscribed to your channel 😀

@TAYM Год назад

Thank you for your memories, marvellous. As well as AP’s I also had a fantastic GT which was a bit like the garelli by the sounds. 😊

@kevinmills5052 Год назад

We brought the bike from a smashing dealer in Harston on the a10. Not there now.

@GapBahnDirk Год назад

I didn't have a moped when I was at school, but I remember them in the 70s and I remember that the Garelli was a good looking and fast standout at the time. It was wonderful to see the Yamaha FS1E, in such good condition too.👍👍 It took my mind off my disappointment that Santa didn't leave me a Beeza on the 25th. Darcy and the old man have just done a review on the BSA and have managed to capture good sound from the exhaust, so it's worth a view!

@TAYM Год назад

There were also some great looking Fantics, so much quicker than mopeds now 😊 I shall check out mr Darcy 😊

I'm a bit older than you I think! My first bike was a 1966 Suzuki M3.50cc. Of course the leg shields came off and everything was polished to an inch of its life and it did 55mph with a following wind and my nose on the fuel tank. Loved it but sold for a FB 200cc Falcon (hilarious bike too)

@TAYM Год назад

Marvellous, sounds like Ainsworth Rider’s 1966 Suzuki 😊 marvellous 😊 such good memories

I loved polishing my chrome fsie. Piston rings gave up at 20k. Dad bored it out to 80cc. It would do 60 easily. The sun glinting on the wheels and spokes

@TAYM Год назад

Marvellous 😊 with a bit of porting I would think you would have got a bit more too 😊 but then would have been rebuilding it every weekend 😂😂😂 thank you 😊

@Banditmanuk Год назад

I had an FS1E back in 79/80. Can remember seeing 55mph on the speedo. Still a Yam guy now with an XSR900 and an MT10. I'm 6ft 3, no idea how I fitted on the fizzy

@TAYM Год назад

I think we all retained a fondness for the manufacturer of which ever moped we had 😊 weird about the size thing, I just don’t remember it being an issue at the time but we must have looked very funny to people 😂😂😂

@albarclay4882 Год назад

Never had one, as first bike was the TS250. Always remember people changing the exhaust on them and sitting as far back on the seat as possible to try and get the front end up in the air . I see site security were keeping a close eye on you with the fizzy.

Splendiferous transported back to being 16 again when I got my 1975 purple Fizzy CAB 40N was its reg and I thought I was king of the road. I've thought about buying another one but I'm a bit scared of the idea because it's like trying to replace a dog you can get another one but it's never the same dog that you lost.

@TAYM Год назад

I know what you mean. 😊 sort of thing you could do if you won the lottery. Sometimes memories are best when they remain memories. 😊 Have a great New Year and think of creating new memories for the future 😊

Brings back good memories that, I had the Bronze one P reg had to get my dad to sign for it on my £9 a week aprentice wage lol. We would take the long baffle out and cut it down, and remove the sponge air filter use to mix costic soda crystals up to decoke the exhaust pipe lol them where the days. Keep them videos coming Mr Taym and ride safe.

@TriumphBeezaman Год назад

Remember at 16 had my eye on a new Casal sports moped but seemed to remember the sixteener mopeds were all around £200 then but ended up on old used traditional type mopeds costing less than £10 on the road, when i became 17 i had my first 250 Honda while a lot of my mates were still paying off hp on their sports mopeds 🙂

@TAYM Год назад

Yes, it was a problem at 16/17 and only earning £10 a week 😂😂😂😂 very sensible 😊

@TriumphBeezaman Год назад

@@TAYM think i was on much less than £10 as an apprentice so the £200 would probably have been 3 years or more to pay off on hp, sounds unbelievable now how much £200 was back in the early 70s 🙂

@TAYM Год назад

Absolutely, total freedom 😊 save for begging money of dad for petrol money which he was only too glad to give rather than provide lifts 😂😂😂

@andym5588 Год назад

Strange that the fizzy became the standout moped. It wasn't the fastest, that was the the Italian Gilerra. Must tidy up my NVT 4 speed and sell. Am I the only one who think it's nuts that a fizzy with 20 odd thousand miles ridden at full chat is worth more than a Norton Commando from the same era. Thanks for prodding the old memory bank Mr Taym

@TAYM Год назад

😂😂😂😂 No you’re not alone but guess more people owned them in their youth than owned a Norton and they want a bit of their youth. That’s all I can think 🤔 have a great new year, riding round on the NVT 😊

The Honda SS50 was the alternative in my area, swarms of them buzzing around. That's what Saturday jobs were for, just to get enough to put a deposit down on a bike and helmet and feed them some petrol (not that they used much). Happy days , wonderful memories, long before the aches and pains us old farts take as part and parcel of continued biking.

Like you, I had the AP50. A better handling bike than the Fizzer, but lost out a bit on top speed. I had just over an indicated 60mph out of my AP. Both were far superior than Honda’s wheezy SS50 4/5 speed, they really weren’t the sports mopeds any freedom searching teenage wanted to be seen on 😂. Enjoyed that 👌

@TAYM Год назад
