Garelli Tiger Cross Moped 70's & 80's Motorcycles Part 2

[@marktiller1383]

I skipped mopeds and saved HARD, buying a new 1977 kh 250. Luckily most of my mates still had fs1e's, so I had to ride at their speed . Thinking back probably a good thing for a new motorcyclist.

I beg to differ Fantic gt super six was easily the fastest moped ever made...

Love the fins on the cylinder head, it reminds me of the old Maico Motocrossers.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Fizzy Boy video . Brought back good memories of 1977 when I had my Fizzy . Rode it to Somerset and back to family home in Kent . My brother than had it and he rode it to Scotland staying at Youth Hostels along the way. Great rides !

[@peteramberley9952]

Mmmmmmm! Drool drool. Aaah when we were 16 .i was very fortunate too have had a good selection of mopeds when i was 16 in 1980 and had one of the best moped shops in nw london .specialiaing in italian bikes.which i was forever drooling over the fantic Gt super 6 malagutis and gileras and garellis. I owned a lovely agarati garreli tiger cross in black and red mat black exhaust and rare slide carb ,bit quicker then the tiger cross.57-60mph.then a puch monza supreme 6sl white stars and stripes. Then boring but nice suzuki ap 50 .still have photos .miss the 2 strokes.shame china dont reproduce them .they would make a killing

[@retrorestore]

Great memories Peter, I remember that era very well. I'm shocked how much these little mopeds fetch now though.

[@peteramberley9952]

The garelli record was quicker 🫡👍

Fact !!

[@MeYou-yz2yz]

Awesome. What colour is your Garelli?

[@DavidClarke600]

Great to see this video,thanks for making it, I had this exact bike in 1976 it was the fastest bike in my town, I did 9,000 miles in nine months and went through one clutch and a new set of piston rings. Although I can't believe i did it, I was once following a lorry two feet behind and the speedo was bouncing off of the 70mph, how it didn't blow up I don't know, glad I am still around to tell the story. My favourite ride was coming down a hill near Southend (Bread and cheese hill) I could get it to over 60, great days

[@reviewthat]

Nice one Dave, They were a great bike and very quick for a 50cc. Nice memories.

Hi All, Brent here, the Bumper Book of Sports Mopeds is now on eBay. Keep the revs up! Cheers, Brent

[@nosherz]

This takes me back to my school days in the 70's, when a jammy git in my class rolled up one day on a brand new Tiger Cross. He had well to do parents who pampered him & bought him the best of everything for his birthdays. The rest of us couldn't have been more envious if he'd pulled up in a Lamborghini Countach : )

i always loved this bike still do! I had a few of these i can even remember the registration numbers of them off the top of my head and wander if they could still be out there somewhere? In the late 70s i restored one lol Love the look love the sound. It was great to hear you start up and ride round the garden Lovely to hear that sound again. Brilliant resto by the way all looks good and sounds ok Many thanks for making this vid and posting here to KZbin

I got to ride on the back of a caballero in Italy while on holiday back then and tuning parts were obviously available for those as I wasn't expecting much...but...argh slow down.. No one ever mentions how it was always the good safe riders who came a cropper ill prepared for a fall that got hurt and how many funerals I could have attended in my patch...

[@cedriclynch]

The reliability of sparking plugs in 2-stroke engines has improved since the 1970s mainly thanks to unleaded petrol. There was a problem called "whiskering" in which a filament of lead oxide would grow between the electrodes and short-circuit them, causing the engine to misfire or stop altogether. If you took the plug out,, pushed your thumb nail between the electrodes and then refitted the plug you could be on your way in minutes, but it was a right pain. With unleaded petrol, which was reintroduced in the mid 1980s, this problem does not happen.

[@g4obb]

Had a Fantic 6 speed back in the 70's....a real pig to start....you would end up knackered a sweating...Jeez!

[@cedriclynch]

@@g4obb It should not have been like that, mine used to be very easy to start. If you had the SHA14 carburettor (with the choke lever that latched down and was released by momentarily applying full throttle) you had to give a certain amount of throttle for starting from cold with the choke on, and you might have needed three or four kicks; with the SHB19 carburettor (with choke plunger, usually operated by a cable) you had to keep the throttle fully closed for starting and the engine would almost always start first kick.

[@wolfburgman]

1976, p reg. I was 17. £110 but mine was a red garelli rekord. Fast, noisy and nice big petrol tank. No battery. Magnetto. And the smell of the two stroke. Always had to remember to mix oil in the tank. Fantastic start to my biking days. Football and gears on opposite sides to most other bikes.

[@maxflight777]

Jonathan Smith (Meriden ) had one in 1977, lovely guy... exciting bike (when you are 16)

What size carb does that thing have? Also, Delorto?

what a bike for its time it was every youngsters dream at 16

[@petefroud5308]

Remember , these bikes years back . Was never allowed a bike my grandad would never allow it. When dad left he was the father figure. So what he said went pretty much. Mind you he was smashed, Really bad on his bike back in the 50's . So can see his reasoning. Mind you I might have to get a 50cc Bike of some kind. As for Barney he is a great looking dog , a real gun dog . You should show him , Martin. Regards Pete.

[@retrorestore]

I have fond memories on those mopeds. Young, free and king of the road lol. Barney is the star of my vids so I've been told on many occasions so I wouldn't want his head getting any bigger lol. Cheers Martin

Loving these vids. We didn't have a big moped or scooter scene here in the States back in the day. Wish we had, sure looks like more fun the bicycle I rode until getting a car. Can't wait for the next installment! Thanks!!!

[@retrorestore]

Hey, thanks John. Glad you are enjoying them. It was fun times back then. Too many laws and rules now.

[@brianpercival1829]

Barney kills me every time. He is on the chair while you are on the floor. He's the leader of the pack. I never heard of these mopeds. My dad died when I was young, my mom wouldn't allow any type of moped or motorcycle because of dangers involved. I lived a sheltered life. I had a neighbor with a BSA Lightning. Another friend in high school had a Norton Commando. I envied them. I like these vids too Martin. Say hi to everyone at home Brian .

[@retrorestore]

Cheers Brian, Barney loves like a lord lol. These were mostly sold to the European market and were very big here in the UK. They sell for silly money now as people who had them when they were young want to relive their youth. Cheers Martin

[@harryharry8384]

Owned one and they were lethal.. off nights I fell asleep on it at a fork in the road and that was the start of some 18 falls and one garrotting where some one put a steel wire between 2 trees as we roamed around in gangs of up to 25 in Dinnington .. If falling off was nt enough to kill you... there was always someone who wanted to just for buzzing by them ! I always fancied the fantic caballero and only saw one in the flesh, better looking but slow.....

I had a Garelli Rekord 80. Or rather the a 50 with an 80cc cylinder. A mate had an SS50 4 speed with the cylinder off a C70 and the carb off a C90 and head gasflowed by Jock Kerr. That was faster than another mates TS100.

Wow' this is so cool, never seen one in the states...Had a 49cc basic garelli at age 12 that I rode a year or two but would loved to had this.. Had dirt bikes that sounded like this one from age 8 so riding bigger 650-750cc street bikes was nothing by 12 for me. Would have loved it.
