Nice to see one of the most under appreciated mopeds of its time coming to life in the 2020's The conundrum of whether you ride as a bike to the left or in the middle is one I had when I owned one as a college get-a-about in the late 1970s. Of course as a motorised "bicycle" with a 25-30 mph top speed you should not hold back modern fast traffic by riding in the middle of the lane, neither succumb to being a second class citizen on the road. You do have the option of " cycle lane use" which motorists do not. Tread wisely. I loved that machine and its reliable, sweet sounding engine which sipped petrol.

I inherited my Grandfathers PC50, I rode it from Basingstoke to Wigan, return, for a £50 bet. Not a single mechanical issue, not even a puncture. When I inspected the plug on my return, It was a perfect colour, and the gap exactly as when I left.

Hope they paid up for that, thats one hell of a journey! The old small engine Hondas were so well made

@grahamherbert3612 4 месяца назад

@@itstomsgarage They paid up when they saw the photos. I eventually swapped the PC50, for a wrecked Vespa 90, which I got road legal and reliable, and rode for over 16k miles, also doing a few long journeys on it.

Yes road position and helps to keep headlight on to get cars to give some respect .

On my Honda 90, when I had it decades ago. The accelerator cable was frayed near the entry to the carburettor body. One day, going to work I tried to shut the throttle off whilst approaching a red light. There was no effect and I went through the red light at warp factor 7, with a policeman following me. I had to turn the bike off by the ignition key to stop it from revving it's balls out. Check yours, the elevated idle speed could be the start of that. By the way the policeman was very understanding and let me off, unlike what you would expect today from them.

@itstomsgarage 5 месяцев назад

Good to know. I only recently put the cable back into the carb but I'll double check it. I used to have a cub and a very similar thing happened to me! I found out the hard way that the throttle would stick and not return to 'off' without manually doing it. I got to some lights and ended up on the pavement as I couldn't stop the bike...! Luckily no harm was done but I was very cautious of that from then forward. Unfortunately it got stolen in the end

great vlog. what's the LH thumb control? de compression?

@itstomsgarage 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! Yep it’s a decompression leaver for starting and stopping the motor 👍

@Shhshsusuu 4 месяца назад

They prob think your on a bicycle thats why

@itstomsgarage 4 месяца назад

I agree to be honest, but thats another problem that we have on the UK roads as well, no respect for cyclists so I'm stuck either way lol

@michellewilson8845 4 месяца назад

I ride bicycles and motorcycles and have 'near misses' almost everytime i go out because of selfish impatient cars/vans/lorries. i find its worst near schools as those people collecting kids have a screw loose

@itstomsgarage 4 месяца назад

Agreed. I live in between a few primary schools so unfortunately have to deal with it quite a bit. I tend to avoid the roads at those times if I can! There's a huge cultural issue with the way bikes/motorbikes are treated on UK roads

@monkeyroo8740 5 месяцев назад

Hiya bud, great video again, squirt a bit of wd40 in the throttle grip, there should be a hole you could get a straw in. I always ride in the middle of the road bud, I’m selfish when I’m on the bike.

@itstomsgarage 4 месяца назад

Thanks mate. Still having the problem so I’ll give that a go. I’ll check the cable as well, maybe it needs a bit of adjustment 👍

Sounds like my old man's lawnmower

@itstomsgarage 4 месяца назад

haha yeah its probably not too different

@grahamherbert3612 4 месяца назад

Never underestimate the PC50.

@davis7099 21 день назад

Funny you say that because it was of course not a sporty model ( SS50 and FS1E) but a dead simple step through single speed that appealed to workers who wanted a cheap transport that was faster than a bicycle. I LOVE the sound of this small 4 stroke which is more sewing machine than lawn mower.
