What Happened in Pee Paw's Scooter Shop Today?

Mr. Super Duke is reassembled, awaiting a spank fest in the morning. Life is good, even though it gets warm pretty quickly. Looking forward to tearing around on her in the morning. Might even get to eat lunch with some old people. Woo Hoo!

Well my grandson Jake has been here since Monday I think and we have had some fun. Riding the mini-bike was fun for a couple to three days, but it is hot and he is 7 so we moved on. Donna took him to the Kimball Art Museum, cause he loves it. Today we had a pretty good time painting rocks. He told me to paint a "KTM" rock, so I did, I like his ladybug, very slick. We had fun, loves me some Jake time. His sister wants some one on one with Pee Paw and Yia-Yia too.

I guess I could take a stab at it sir. Black Rock sounds a little ominous...LOL
 
Dad bought them from the original owner who used them while RV'ing back in the day. They had been sitting in her warehouse when he took them home. He got them running, probably in 2012 when the photo is dated.

I've tried researching them a few times over the years and found only one article that mentions them.

They remind me of the super popular mid 1970’s 103 Peugeot scooters I used go see everywhere in Italy.

Doug,

Being a KTM aficionado, have you ever seen KTM mopeds? These are a pair of 1974 DeLuxe models owned by my dad. These are the only ones I've seen in person.

I saw that the other day and I was thinking "hmm, only $250. hmm, no title." And I love the end of the post "Will not respond to calls or emails". So, semaphore? Smoke signals? Vulcan mind meld? What are we talking about here, chief?
 
Superduke R Evo went on the Slacker Ride yesterday, she is pretty peppy these days and very happy to go bang off of the rev limiter as required. Apparently when Mary goes, she runs a pace that everyone is comfortable with and, of course, I had to adjust from time to time to make sure all the fellas were still back there. There is a reason that you don't let the stupid ones lead folks. She just hums along. Not much else in the way of modifications planned, but, I will just ride the thing until I need to do maintenance. Getting about 38 mpg, probably going to give her a spin this morning or may cruise the Super Adventure as she just got back from visiting my daughter. She (my daughter, motorcycles don't talk.....a lot) said she will miss it, but she is glad to have her 990 Super Duke back home.

So it looks like the KTM moped is basically a Sachs Moped rebadged as a KTM. Very similar to the Hercules? Not much information, but if it was orange and had a KTM motor, it would be sweeter. A blue KTM is hard for me to love.
