Nope, never owned one. When I was 16 (and T. Rex still roamed the earth) they weren't popular with the young set. About the only people you saw on them was someone at least 75kg overweight with a cigar stuck in their face. But, that was California and everyone wanted a woody with a surf board sticking out the back and a beauty riding shotgun.

For my sins when I was a pup I had a Honda Melody, not very fast and embarrassing to ride but it was cheap and got me to work, I even used to go fishing on it, loaded to the hilt with rod bag and seat box.
Upgraded to a Honda Lead 125 scooter, good for 65mph, although it was a little scary at that speed due to the small wheels and drum brakes, it suffered a death of major engine failure and was sent to the scrap yard in the sky

Never owned a moped, my first bike was a honda CD 175 that belonged to my old man, he gave it to me for my 17th birthday with the proviso that he would insure it for me as long as I could pay for the tax and test. It was a real old mans bike but still much better than any sports moped and it made me the envy of all the kids at school. I passed my test in June 1976 just ready for the long hot summer that year and having just started work I spent every weekend riding all over the south of England with a variety of different girls on the pillion. Happy Days.
