                I don’t need any more plastic buckets thanks! I don’t think they sell discount Ciao cranks at that
                shop, thats what i need for my bike. Fons told me the guy in fip flops was Italian not Dutch,
                but i know all you Dutch are tough guys too, with no skid lid’s (crash hat)

                  that’s because we have 45 km/h ciao’s, that require wearing a helmet, and 25 km/h ciao’s that don’t (so some guys who don’t wear a helmet, are allowed to drive without one).
                  off course a lot of those go a bit faster then 25 km/h :p

                    like me 😛 but i have to adjust my clutch so i can pull some wheelies, maybe after my holiday, then i would have to see how much my bankaccount allows me to spend 😛

                      I can’t imagine riding on the road with no crash hat, over here mopeds built after 1977 are
                      restricted to 30mph, but you still need a helmet to ride. Most bikes get de-restricted or 65cc
                      kits fited by there owners, i had a Yamaha FS1E when i was 16, it was a 1976 so i made it go as fast
                      as posible, the only thing was any bike pre1977 had to have pedals not fixed foot pegs.

                        One thing you shouldn’t foreget is that in holland we have got an awfull lot of cycle lanes made of the finest asfalt there is. I’ve been in England once and i do understand that driving there without a helmet is similar to commiting suïcide compared to holland.

                        That is one of the reasons I think it is pretty safe tot drive without a helmet, you don’t have to be tough to drive without one. (ofcourse you do have to drive responsible, approaching a crossing at 40mph is not recommended :P)

                        A couple of month ago we went on a tour with 30 members of this site, and i think 80% of the time we drove on cycle lanes seperated from the cars, and no one crashed into a car (okey, Bart crashed a bit, but that was his own stupid foult… :pest)

                          Yes, i saw you all on you tube, it looked great fun riding on those nice flat cycle lanes,
                          here cycle lanes are for cycles only. All i can see from my house are hills, not good for mopeds!!
                          Me and 4 of my frends did a 24 hour moped run for a charity, it was good fun but i don’t know how
                          we weren’t all killed!
