Review:
This homage to the transport needs of spotty 70s teenagers is great fun' written with wit and accompanied by some great images and original advertising. Perfect for the biking 'pre-pensioner' whom, even if they didn't own a funky moped back in the day, would certainly have hankered after one. --Grant Ford
Packed full of 340 great pictures and firsthand accounts of those notable years, the author, Richard Skelton, has put together a great read, making it a real addition to your book collection. It s not a complete encyclopedia of 1970s mopeds - but then it never set out to become that anyway ... Easy to read, light-hearted and packed full of pictures. --Twist & Go

Richard Skelton combines working in the television industry as a sound technician with freelancing as a motorcycle journalist. He has been a motorcyclist since first taking to the road on a Yamaha FS1-E on his 16th birthday in 1976 and, although he usually rides bigger bikes these days, he keeps an FS1-E taxed and tested for summer use. His writing experience comprises occasional features for motorcycle magazines in the 1980s, a period working as a newspaper reporter in the mid 1990s and, currently, reporting for the specialist road racing publication, BikeSport News. He lives in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire.
