I bought a Honda 50 moped in the early 70s for fifty quid. Used it mostly to commute between Tipton and Wolverhampton or Tipton and Dudley. I had a flowing mane in those days with a Jaysus beard and I must have looked dead grand sailing along at almost 28mph in a following wind in those pre-crash helmet days. By the end of the year I had no insurance and optional brakes. The bloody thing seemed to need a decoke about once a month. Witnessed a van smashing into a parked car one evening in Tipton and driving off. The tearful car owner tried to get me to wait for the cops as I was a key witness, but I wouldn't because I'd had six pints of Holden's Golden by then. I did leave him all my details but I never heard back. God knows why I'm telling you this.
