26 years off the road
« on: July 06, 2017, 10:10:25 AM »
So I've been given a Tomos vintage Moped that's been off the road for the past 26years

Anyone got experience with these? Here it is....

It must depend on how much you value your time.
If I could put new petrol in it, clean the plug and points and then flog it to some mug hopeful buyer on Ebay, I would, but given that they were horrible things when new, what's the point of investing any more time in it than that?
Is anyone ever going to wake up on a summer's morning and think..."I'm going for a blast on the Tomos"?

Firstly, you need to identify it's value & if it is worth the money & effort for restoring it.

It's junk, give it to  a kid to play with, or a local school for a project.
Wasn't it Tomos that were sold by Woolworths at one time?

Made in the hotbed of motorcycle inovation,Slovenia.
