Most mopeds had tuned speedometers ime, and the more people filed the ports and messed about with the exhausts, the slower and noisier they became. They sounded a lot faster though.
I had a slightly different approach to going faster when I was 16. Flew round outer East Belfast on a 750 Norton Commando (among other things) until I got caught. I thought about doing a runner but Mr. RUC man had a sub machine gun in his hand as he was asking me questions. ::) ;D ;D
Had 7 court appearances and 12 convictions by the time I was 18. Had a hell of a job getting insured, and had to pay through the nose. Insuring a Chevette HS at 19 involved being extremely economical with the truth on the application form. ::)

I knew you told porkies  ;D

It was a bit more modern than that. ::).........saw off many a CB750 and Suzuki kettle. Brakes look very similar though, better to try and dig your heels into the road. :y ;D

was the same as this (Dunstall Norton) but in Black and Gold.

Looking at the Garelli pic does anyone remember Gilera, Malaguti or Cimatti? All sporty little 49cc's With a back to front gearbox..1 up, 3 down. :D

Those alloy/hydraulic disc/expansion pipe fissies look pretty good. I bet they are worth a lot now

It was definately a fizzy. One of the early yellow and black ones. The set-up of it was very similar to the first photo posted by DLK but the back light box was much squarer.
What brought back memories was the distinctive smell of Castrol R in the Two Stroke mix. ;D :y

If he'd spent that much time & money on it i doubt he'd be running it on castrol R or TT. Back then we used to run them on sachets of bel-ray synthetic. None of the quids worth of 2 star & a 5p squirt of 25 to 1!!!! :D

These were also a bit special. Not quite as mental/scary as the 500 though imo.

I had a Garelli Rekord.....49cc.....6.2 BHP.....would eat any Fizzy or AP50 it came into contact with... :y :y

My mates just fully restored one of these. Apparrantly quite sought after. The fork tubes were hardest to source as they were rotten so he had new ones made and chromed. There is a Garelli forum as well. ( Opti, why are you a newbie again?)

An old mate of mine had a Fizzer at school, played about with it and claimed it did 72mph :o

What the heck is a 'Fizzer' ? 
The FS1-E was known as a 'Fizzy' or 'Fizzie' (A play on the model designation No. FiSzz1iE.)   :y
