This tiny Honda SS50 is called ‘Wild Horse’ for a reason

HONDA SS50

[redwolf]

‘George Woodman’ is the motorcycling nom de plume of master woodworker Sébastien Valliergues. He’s based in Biarritz and builds two or three bikes a year for fun. ‘Wild Horse’ is a heavily modified Honda SS50 that’s as fresh as a mouthful of popping candy. It’s got plenty of zing too: the original 49cc air-cooled single has been swapped out for a 190cc engine, prepared by the pit bike tuner Stomp. Power is up to 22 frisky horses, which translates to a very lively ride on a machine with a wheelbase of just 1.18m.

Saigon before 1975 and its once-resounding scooters.

The motorbikes (scooters) on the streets of old Saigon once went through a brilliant golden age. If you want to know what motorbikes the Saigon people used to ride, let's take the time from 1954 to 1975, the period when scooters in the South developed wildly, first of all, the "golden Mobylette" era. and Velo Solex. Both types are shaped like a compact bike, but larger and equipped with a viscous gasoline engine, Mobylette's speed when "good" can be up to 60 km / h.

The interesting thing is that it can pedal with its feet to run when the car runs out of gas, which makes it a true "rice-powered" car legend. It can be said that the most glorious period of Mobylette motorcycles was during the French colonial period, when the Vietnamese nation had not yet escaped the monopoly of trade with France. In the early years of 1955 - 1956 when the First Republic was established, Mobylette motorcycles had to give way to other German vehicles such as Goebel, Puch, Sach, although Mobylette continuously changed designs to catch up. trend.

When the Southern economy was liberalized, the Ministry of Economy and the General Department of Planning decided to develop the assembly sector in order to save foreign currency and create jobs for the people. Therefore, the South formed two large scooter assemblers, namely VINACO (assembling lambretta) and Phi-Ma Transport Company (assembling vespa); the proportion of internal parts including assembly accounts for 10% (for vespa) and 15% (for lambretta). Both firms import machinery from Italy and a small number from France and Germany, all about 4 million dong. The assembled scooters are vespa 50s, vespa 150 super, vespa 150 sprint, lambretta 50 junior, lambretta 150. There are two types of tricycles: vespa 175cc, lambro 500.

The Vespa line at that time became a "fashion" that made Saigon's young people fall in love. French Vespa cars are cheaper but the machines are not as good as Italy's. To distinguish the French Vespa from the Italian Vespa, "players" often look first at the color, then the words on the front of the car. Italian Vespa is usually only gray and has the word Piaggio, while the French Vespa is usually dark yellow and has the word ACMA.

Until the end of 1968, Vespa, Lambretta and other French and German motorcycles had to "give up" to Japanese motorcycles. Especially Honda cars. In the first days, Honda motorcycles did not attract much attention from Saigon consumers. Everyone criticized "what car is made of latex". But after only a few months, Honda motorcycles have become a popular and vehemently sought-after item in the market, storming the two French and German firms. But it's just because "Japanese goods are really delicious". With the "unbeatable" fork and the seat as soft as the mattress, the girls sitting in the back have to say "sticky hug".

The love for Honda cars is so passionate that, without knowing when, people gradually call motorcycles in general the Honda cars. And the way to call the car is dead from that time. Men play Honda SS50, women love Honda dame. The women of old Saigon were almost the ladies of the radio, wearing a flowing ao dai and sitting on scooters, which further glorified the aristocratic aristocracy of the young ladies of that day. Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of these ladies know how to cut a chicken's throat or slice a fish, so I'm also surprised to know which Saigon girl dares to load ammo. Who is the master who invented that article!

Some time later, the Suzuki, the old-fashioned (Yamaha), Kawasaki appeared, but it was difficult to compare the hegemony of Honda at that time. That popularity led to reckless racers, racing at an altar speed all over the streets. Because of that, the word "highway hero" was born to refer to the young buffaloes at that time (if they were still alive, they would have become old and buffalo).

Such motorbikes roamed the streets of old Saigon on Saturday afternoons through green trees, under the canopy of flying tamarind. The lovers pass each other under the great trees on the road around Notre Dame Cathedral before going to the Zoo and Botanical Garden, which people call the streets of students, flying and dreaming.

Sitting on the back of the car, the girls leaned their heads on the boy's shoulder in front, then he pressed the gas to blow her hair and sobbed the fragrant smell of locusts, the two of them had been together forever. (Le Loi) and then turned around to Catinat (Tu Do), hungry, then went to the "Hong Kong side of Cho Lon" area to enjoy Chinese food.

Or more leisurely, "her horse" drove to Saigon Bien Hoa highway to cross the Tan Cang wharf bridge, then turned onto the dirt roads of Cat Lai area and watched the moon enjoy the country wind and stay coffee until the evening. If they feel sad, they will take each other to the cinema near the Citadel to watch the cinema for their liking.

There! There used to be such a beautiful Saigon, gone so we have a time to remember. Besides cars, which were very popular at that time, motorbikes were the dominant means of transportation in the South before 1975 and until now, that has remained unchanged. The motorbikes once lingered on "every tamarind leaf remembers our memories". If anyone asks me why I love Saigon, then that "substance" has made me fall in love for a long time.
