The article on the Harley Davidson in Eric Morris' hallway (The Argus, August 15) brought back memories of a silver moped in my son's bedroom.

We had bought a raffle ticket for 50p many years ago and had won first prize.

I had hopes of a television as there was a choice between that and a moped. But, of course, my son had his way.

As he was not old enough to ride it on the road, it stayed in his bedroom for a couple of years.

He passed his test four days after his 16th birthday which allowed him to carry passengers - in particular a friend who had a broken leg.

It looked a little unusual with the passenger holding his crutches on their way to school.
