  2. Greetings,

    The first words that came to mind when viewing this picture were: "Crash test Dummy".

    Best regards

  3. 65mph! That's why Perry is wearing the new VO aero helmet.

  4. I will only buy the VO aero helmet if it includes steel wool to remove the gaudy logoing, for that will surely ruin its classical and understated elegance!

  6. Is that really Jan Heine on the Mixte ?

    Does the 2CV plane more or less than the bike ?

  8. Gunner, The 2cv, she is four stroke.

  9. How about checking the tire pressure on the 2CV

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yep, four-stroke, but only two-cylinder, which explains her blazing performance. Probably lacks any pollution equipment too, so pretty stinky anyhow.

  11. What is this "pollution equipment" of which you speak?

    The 2CV, she is designed to be serviced by the average peaseant using only a corkscrew and a rock. Certainly that excludes a (comment ca dit?) "cataclysmic comforter" or whatever . . .

  12. just to set the record straight, peasants with corkscrews DO offer "cataclimactic comfort." I am quite surprised at the lack of sophistication as evinced in these comments!

  13. Can you convert the 2CV to 650B?

    ReplyDelete
  14. As long as you can get a hold of the right caliper brakes...

  15. Those photos are priceless! What handlebars are those?

    ReplyDelete
