Is that a second one in the background of one of those pics? Have you got a gang of delinquent Renault drivers  over there?

I don't even know what half of them are. Why do most of the French bikes seem to be small 2 stroke type things? Is there, or was there, a French manufacturer of large capacity 4 strokes?

Post by: panthershaun on November 08, 2009, 10:14:54 AM
The French have made some real cool larger 4 strokes, I would love to get hold of a Rene Gillet V twin and Bob it  :D :D

Hiya Tom. So what are you guys over there in the little village of Canada driving & riding?
AfghanMan lives in rural France, where vintage vehicles seem fairly commonplace. We've got our fair share of old tin here in Britain, but the majority of it's kept for weekend use. Always makes me smile to see an oldie out & about in the modern traffic.
