In the March edition of Classic Bike Guide someone's fitted a chamber to a Puch Maxi moped. So we expect you to push the envelope...

Marvellous!!!!

The weather improved a bit, so I’ve just taken the Bloop out for a test ride, it is certainly better for the new rings. The bike just touched an indicated 60 MPH on a slightly downhill stretch of the road to Kettering, but perhaps more impressively it maintained 50 MPH slightly uphill on the way back.

It was fun riding the bike, and a reminder of how far we have come in 40 years. I got caught out by the upside down gearbox several times, but otherwise it is an easy bike to ride. The handling is sort of okay, even the brakes are not too bad now I’ve freed off the front brake cable properly.

I’m still grinning
