And probably where it should have stayed ...

On the new bike, it's likely that the fork tubes will bend before the spring compresses.

Mine was cat sick yellow too!

Tho' mine was an A Reg and had a white topbox. I took the front basket off to improve the aerodynamics.

The other kids in the 5th year took the piss, but I was the only one who wasn't catching the bus, pedalling or getting a parental lift.

From the Lyon expo du 2 roues -

Even I thought this was a little too much (and that's unusual!)




And this was behind it!! LOL




WTF can steer with those bars???






I'm pretty sure the plant isn't part of the bike! The bike was interesting - not sure what it is and why, but I sort of vaguely liked it!!




Just bloody wierd!! -

I thjought the Frenchies were supposed to have taste and style...?

Dustbin fairing, isn't it?

As in "I found it in a dustbin..."

Is there a way to un-see that?

More like an old wheelie bin or mini-skip.

Or a feet-forward bike....going backwards.

Is the Voyager guy still on the go?

He was (or is) crazy!

Coincidentally, a few days ago I was chatting with someone (who I'd not seen for about 30 years!) who knows him. Had included Voyager's Voyager in a book (its previous owner was quite famous in the motoring world).

You haven't had anyone to torture since he and BBO flew the coop.

We end up only torturing ourselves.

I expect those guys got loads of reports, which tired the moderators out.
