[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 119591, member: 161"] When I was 16 I got a job at a local biscuit factory while I waited for my "O" level results to come. There was a man working there who had an NSU Quickly moped. Bike mad at the time (and still the same now) I was interested in any powered two-wheeler but classed mopeds as underpowered pushbikes. I lived in Ashby de-la-Zouch at the time and there is a long, steep, hill where I lived. My opinion about mopeds was changed one day when he came steaming up the hill at a rate of knots in a most impressive style. I think it may have had a two speed, not sure but it wouldn't surprise me as those Quickly's were way more advanced than anything UK manufacturers offered. Pity Vincent weren't able to take full advantage of their link-up with NSU, might have kept them in business a bit longer. [/QUOTE]
