Cheers Chaps. It is exactly 40 years ago this very morning, that as a fresh-faced sixteen year old, I was legally able to ride my first owned motorised two wheeler (a Yamaha FS1E) on the roads of Britain. I rode it to school, and remember feeling very cool, very cool indeed, and with my whole life in front of me. Ahh the exuberance of youth -- although these days, I would not be a teenager again if you paid me (lol). Thanks again Gents, and many thanks.

Oh the power of the internet. Ive managed to source a photo of Gareths first day with his new motorbike.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Aged 16, Gareth used to this it was his motorbike that attracted the birds when in fact it was his Acne. They thought it was Trill.

Pedals.
I remember the FS1E, did yours have pedals ?
August 1977 to August 1978 was the last year peds had to have pedals to be legally ridden at sixteen (which was why they were called mopeds). After August 1978, sixteeners had two options: pedal-less post August 1978 heavily restricted 50cc motorcycles (30mph tops) or pre Aug 1978 unrestricted mopeds and unrestricted sports mopeds (the latter, like the traditional Yamaha FS1E being good for 60mph, and only having pedals alongside their kick starters as a 'legal loop-hole' to enable kids of sixteen to ride them). Yep, happy HAPPY days indeed ...

Intersting history lesson - I had one of those Honda 50's without pedals, remember lying prone to see how fast we could go down the road, I never quite hit 60mph, this was around Shaftesbury in Dorset which is very hillyPedals.
