Fast backwards, not fast forwards.

If being Orange made my bike a Jota, does being Red make it a Fire Engine?

Out and about and in Vienna for the weekend, Sarah and I took advantage of catching up with Gert. It was a super nice night, Gerts new shed is stunning , Sarah likes it more than mine. Schnitzel was eaten and beer was drunk. Thanks for a great evening Gert!

Fantastic cars. French cars at their best.

The Panhard engine is so interesting that a guy put it in a motorcycle cycle part...

And he called the bike "Tigre"

Just got back from France- broken windmill Blade next to Guzz- nothing to do with me!
Managed to do 2000 miles with my trusty 22 year old map, took in Wheels & Waves in Biarritz , met an old mate in Cachen then on to my cousin in Montauban. The French have all stopped smoking & renumbered every road since my last visit but reassuringly still have no use for toilet seats,indicators, women’s underwear or spirit levels. Tartare de Boeffe gave me the shits but left some tea with my cousin who now has a taste for a cup of “ Builders” . Beautiful country, great people.

it is not so much the engine which was revolutionairy, but mere the rest of the car. Front wheel drive, aluminum body/chassis on the earlier models and an aerodynamic shape with a Cd of 0.26, Hence 50 hp of the Tigre engine gave the 830 kg car a topspeed of 145 km/h with 6L on 100 km fuel consumption, yes from 1959-1965 that is! A PL17 even won the Monte Carlo Rally in '61 ..

Sorry, back to Laverda business, cheers

France is hot and dry.

French cars at their best.

Left in France, Aussie roads and French motorcars don’t play well together.

We used to have a very 2nd hand Peugot 504 diesel. It had no probs with Oz roads and was a ripper to do long distances in. Like sitting in your lounge.

What is that vertical alloy piece mounted outboard of the spark plug on the head of the Panhard?
