The Place

A friend of mine gave me some scanned pages of a French motorcycle newspaper, Moto Revue, and it's so amazing that I can't resist to show them.

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, what's about that !!





and this other bike !!

Thanks Fanch - interesting

Unsure as to how effective the chain driven layshaft might be from the gearbox sprocket to the rear wheel and whether some form of tensioner mat be needed. From the layout of the drive to the rear wheel it seems as though rear suspension may be at best difficult if not impossible due to the movement arc of that wheel being in front other secondary drive which seems to have no movement

you know Bob, I didn't understand a single word of that

Of course not Steve, you're a passenger, so stick to what you do best, providing empties for recycling for the Larder/English racing fund, hanging about the team in the paddock, signing autographs and looking decorative Oh I forgot, keeping an eye on the Forum

Get Fanch to PM you in French, should all become clear then ...
