"Here's your new Mustangs, boys. You can learn to fly'em on the way to the target. Cheers!"

The new solex has arrived! It sports a somewhat used look, but apart from that and a rotten gasket, it's a mighty fine moped. The engine sounds great and will probably sound a lot better when equipped with a high end Chinese gasket.

And it isn't even red:

Considering the shape it's in, it would be a shame to go totally scavenge on it and leave it to rust. So the orange newbie might as well be our future project. Distant future project.

Keep grinding it! Again! Again!

The Crazy Teufel Bash!

Heavy fumes are gathering on the Copenhagen moped scene. In September, Teufelskerle, a reknown - but not rival - moped gang, hosted a great, gut-kickin' party at their headquarters in Valby.

Teufelskerle mostly drive slick'n'shiny things that allow for a change of gear - Kreidlers, ol' Herculeses etc. - and do it with noteworthy passion. Some of their members, however, showed up armed with a couple of hot-lookin' 2200's.

Giant Centipedes joined the moped-fiesta with their flashy back patches. Here, the Orange Beast takes part in a solex-eat-solex dragracing standoff against a chic 1700:

An internal Giant Centipedes dragoff was also arranged, with the Orange Beast finding itself outgrinded by its black contestant. That, however, was not due to inferior motor power from the Orange Beast's side, but to a missing pedal that came off during some steep hills in Czech.
