SSXL103 (Cherry Bob-omb)

There are two mopeds that, in my opinion, have the most beautiful lines, the Garelli Super Sport XL and The Peugeot 103. Both bikes being special in their own way, the garelli having such tasteful geometry between the tank and frame, and the 103 being the classiest of all grocery getters, with a subframe that we can all appreciate.

I give you, my idea of the perfect hybrid, the SSXL103, code named "Cherry Bob-omb." Two perfectly good frames were mutilated to create this masterpiece. A local rider, Joe Seidt, helped me to acquire both frames. I wanted it tall, but racey, being 6'2", mopeds aren't exactly meant for my build, so some super tall shocks and forks later, and we have perfection. seat height is about 1.5" taller than a stock magnum.

The frame welds and tabs were cleaned up with the help of Mr. Jeremy Dubish (Jeremy Bandit). The seat was re-upholstered by Phillip Patrie (Responsible Jon). The frame was painted by a local body shop, KG's. Powder by myself at CBBG.

While later replaced for the mild build listed above, the original motor was built tested and tuned by the great Christophe Naulet of Tomahawk Mopeds.

While this bike, its colors, exact motor specs, and suspension will undoubtedly change, i wanted two things from it, an absolutely beautiful bike, and the ability to work directly with the community to cultivate that beauty.

This bike now belongs to fellow Ghost Rider, Joe Colunga.
