Bischoff No. 204

Hello Per,

it's a Simson SR 2.
Built in 1959. The previous owner has already restored a lot and there are still a few small things that need to be worked on.
I learned to drive a moped like this when I was 14 years old.

Ah. the name Simson rings a bell – Interesting Hand-Grip for lifting it

Well, we were envious - Most Europe have the rules about 14 for a 50cc Moped and 16 for a 125cc MC for much longer than I can remember. In Denmark it has varied between 15 and 16 over the years for a 50cc Moped + it requires a driving license for those born after 1980 (I think). 125cc is 18 years of age - glad I was born years ago in that sense - but a bit envious about the really great little bike you can get now-a-days.

From time to time, I think about getting an old S.C.O. 1 Gear (36cc) that I started on as a 12-year-old (my parents didn't know) - but the prices today are ridicules …
That little Engine was known to reach 250000Km on the Odometer without any service done to it, as long as you remembered to always fill her up with Pre-Mix (that oil lubricated the Primary Drive too) + didn’t abuse the Dry-Clutch. Of cause you still had to change Tyres, Chains and Light-Bulbs over the years.

Unfortunately, I haven't finished the construction work on the farm yet.
One of my workshop elves, Herbert and his helpers, are not making any progress!

Uh oh, the Health And Safety Team members (37.2 of them) have not arrived yet to do their minutely meetings and briefings!

When I saw that picture of Herbert down the hole, working, I thought all the managers were there to tell him that they had to make some savings in manpower and he, Herbert, was being laid off!

Farmer is outside, sees a road crew working their way down the road. One guy digs a hole. they wait a minute. Second guy fills in the hole. Third guy smooths over the dirt, and they move down the road a ways. The farmer goes over and asks what they are doing. They tell him the guy that puts the post in the hole is out sick...
