I'm sure he means motorcycles, but every time he says moped I can't help picturing the members of Meshuggah cruising down the highway on pastel-colored Piaggio scooters.

Actually we call 50cc bikes "mopeds" in Sweden and Finland. You can ride em at age of 15. I think Jens is talking about very early times here (when he was 14-16y)

Not mopeds like a vespa but like a Suzuki or Honda, looks like a motocross bike or a light MC.

I hope he hasn't totally lost it because I always loved that he DIDN'T sound like every other low power growler out there... I've got hope for the next album...

but it's easy for us to get fluent in the language as long as we get a chance to use it so we get used to how it sounds when we speak it ourselves, but it's really easy for us to understand when someone speaks to us in english.. think it's the same for norwegians, danes and finns to..
