And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ca va, les Peugeot Deaux Chauveau. The car where 90% of frogs (les grenouilles) lost their virginity. Something like 35 HP, 2 cyl. And try to figure out how to open the doors.
I'd love a 2CV but a nicely restored one costs about $US 30K. Wife has had 3 Citroen C3's over the last 8 years but changed to a Peugeot a couple of years ago. The Frenchies are no longer really quirky which is sad but sane.
No rake and trail on front tire - that thing would have zero stability at speed or in a turn. There's a real reason for the front forks to be at a slight angle instead of straight up and down.
Looks heavy to me. Maybe not as heavy as a big Harley, but also no CR.
ReplyDeleteNobody builds vehicles like the French, . . . and nobody copies them, . . .

DeleteRIBIT, as Tommy Smothers said back in 1968.

DeleteHub center front steering, but not sure if it has any rear suspension. Might be an internal hub setup, possibly.
ReplyDeleteSuspension is under the seat.
DeleteDid any bike have rear suspension in 1929? HD made a hard tail in 29.
ReplyDeleteHuge dashboard clock is a nice touch, lol.

ReplyDeleteIs that the exhaust in front of the seat?
ReplyDeleteAir vent/nut warmer. Exhaust is a fishtail pipe down the port side.
ReplyDeleteI like French fries. That’s about it…
ReplyDeleteIt's like someone looked at a Vespa and said "I can make that cool"
ReplyDeleteI find the lack of a tail light disturbing.
