These three things, while not considered a safe combination, are a lot of fun.
My Uncle has a reasonably large farm house out in the country and we had a family bbq there over the weekend. When I say “family” I don’t just mean my family either. There were about three different families there… my family, my uncle’s current girlfriend’s family and my Mum’s other half’s family.
At first it was like being back at a school disco; this group over here in this corner, that group over there in that corner and the other group in the kitchen, but slowly everyone started socialising and the groups broke up a bit.
The real fun didn’t start until the quad bikes were wheeled out though. Man, those things were fast. I also had a bit of a cruise around the fields on a moped, although that was a lot more of a bumpy ride because the suspension sucked.
All in all, a good time had by everyone.

Something is telling me that mopeds weren’t made for fields haha.

Nor gravel. Don’t EVER try and ride a moped on gravel… it’s asking for trouble.
If you start to slide at all you get into all sorts of trouble because the handle that you’re trying to hold the bike with is also the throttle. As the bike leans, the throttle twists and you go faster and lean more.
Ulitmately you get a lot of gravel in your face. :D

I think moped and cruise in the same sentence must be oxymoronic
