I lifted this from a Chinese scoot forum. I hope that John Kay won't haunt me for posting these lyrics;
Get your scooter runnin' stay off of the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatevers thrown our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space I like smoke and lightning 50 cc thunder Racin' with the wind (sorta) And the feelin' that I'm under (the speed limit) Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be mild We can rev so high I never wanna die Born to be mild Born to be mild

THAT is SO bad, it's GOOD! Have a bone!
Reminds me of the old Dick Van Dyke show... The episode where his character Rob Petrie wanted to be a "biker" and bought a Harley Davidson 50cc moped... I think the term "born to be mild" may have come from that show... It was a hoot!
Every so often a newcomer will ask "how can I make my scooter sound like a Harley?" Ah... Put a Hog motor in it... LOL!

That's awesome, Leo. Dick Van Dyke was one of my favorite shoes as a kid. But I don't remember the episode about the 50cc HD. -Surprisingly, my kids enjoyed watching Diagnosis Murder, starring Dick Van Dyke many years later.

But I don't remember the episode about the 50cc HD. -Surprisingly, my kids enjoyed watching Diagnosis Murder, starring Dick Van Dyke many years later. Me too... I've always been a fan of Mary Tyler Moore (Laura Petrie) too... Here's a TV trivia factoid that digs WAY back... Mary's first role on TV was playing the receptionist/secretary on "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" in 1957. You never saw her face, only her legs while she was on the phone. The rumor is that it was a low-budget show, and if her face was shown, she had to be paid "union scale"... Guess her legs were enough... They were enough for ME at 11 years old... Yup. I found these ancient pix of "Rob Petrie" from that episode, but no pix of the little bike. I included one: the mighty Harley M50 which the show called a "Geronimo"... Old-time TV was a hoot!
