Amsterdam city bike revived.

• 

You may say, what on earth is this crappy old Honda doing here? But mind you, your editor bought this 50 CC  TS50 in 1972. It was nearly new than. I drove the bike in and around Amsterdam only 3 months before selling it on to a friend. In that time it was quite special as it had a tuned engien givig a highly illegal speed of 70 km/h in a coutnry where 50cc bikes are allowed to go 40 only. Anyway, 40 years later the friend still happend to have the Honda sleeping in his garage under a cloth. It was used well and had doen soem 40,000 km since 1972. We bhought our own bike and after a long recommissining we use the same old roads as back then. Nothing has changed in 41 years.
