Aw man, the Pacer Moped, once again it wasn't mine but I
had many rides on it. This beauty belonged to my aunts
boyfriend and I had no problem being his flunky with daily
store errands..as long as I could ride his moped.
The moped became popular in the U.S., during the 1970 gas
shortage, things were crazy for a minute with mile long gas
lines and fights at the gas station, people were scared and
thought America was going to run out of gas.
Enter the Pacer Moped, you could fill up for less than $2.00
and you got over 50 MPG. You couldn't get on the freeway
with it, but it was a big saver on the budget. My best
memory of this little ride was when I had to go to the store
for Walter, and some gang bangers tried to rush me and take
it, I didn't think this little thing was that fast, but it was fast
enough to save me from a beat down. Off into the distance I
escaped with a middle finger in the air. Just like Rossi did to
Biaggi in one of the Moto GP races.
As the years passed, bikes became more popular in my life.
Next up is the Honda CB 450 belonging to my cousin Carl. I
liked this bike because it reminded me of Happy Days with
the "Fonz" saying, "AAAAAAA". My first true motorcycle
experience, and one that would be the last for many years to
come, but it was to late, I WAS HOOKED!
