30 April 2011


He was a bad motorcycle, boom-boom-boom - When I was fourteen and fifteen I used to dream of owning a Fantic Motor Chopper when I was sixteen. They made a 50cc version (above) and a 125cc. I used to cycle to Cliftonville to look at them and pick up sales literature from the dealership which I think was called Bocorum. They also sold Harley Davidsons, the small Italian made AMF Harleys and BMWs. Sadly (or maybe not) I never did own one, when I was sixteen I ended up with a Honda, and I still ride one today.


I came across this one today at the Herne Bay Car And Bike show. You can easily tell that it's the 50cc version by the pedals which all mopeds used to have. Note the nice Fizzy beside it.
