More pics from Moto Legendes....
 |
| 1926 Terrot Ladies Model. |
 |
| Front end of a Derny Tandem cycle pacer. |
 |
| Detail from a veteran FN four. Check the kick start arrangement direct on to the crank. |
 |
| Unusual unknown bicycle with leaf spring seat pillar arrangement. |
 |
| Not too sure of the marque but the engine is a French AMC dohc unit. |
 |
| Drive side of the AMC motor. |
 |
| hmmm... not the prettiest engine but purposeful. In the UK DMW also tried out these motors. |
 |
| Sweetly done Terrot cafe racer. |
 |
| Vintage combo looks out to the club line up. |
 |
| Super rare and desirable Italjet Griffon with Triumph motor. |
 |
| 1954 Vespa with Bufflier sidecar. |
 |
| Magnat Debon racer. Over in France you still see a lot of proper vintage race bikes like were a staple of the scene in the UK in the earlier days of the vintage movement. In the UK they've now been pensioned from racing and restored back to catalogue. Over in France they are still gloriously used and abused. This machine carried a Norton Commando front brake. |
 |
| Folks marvel at a motorised tandem... |
 |
| Gitane Testi in blue metal flake. |
 |
| Sparkly Gitane. |
 |
| Sweet Gus Kuhn Commando. |
 |
| Close up on the Gus Kuhn Commando. |
 |
| Great line up from the Indian Club of France. |
 |
| They even brought along a couple of teepees. To the fore is a Prince. |
 |
| Stunning welding on the Barigo supermono race bike. |
 |
| Another view of the Barrigo frame. Quite in awe of this craftsmanship. |
 |
| Ohc Koehler Escoffier v twin race machine. Awesome. |
 |
| Drive side view of the Koehler Escoffier. |
 |
| Another AMC dohc engined machine. |
 |
| An earlier Koehler Escoffier v twin. This one ohv rather than ohc. Unusual tappet adjustment on eccentric bearings. |
 |
| Close up of the Koehler Escoffier's top end. |
 |
| And drive side of the Koehler Escoffier. Also unusual is the magneto mounted between the cylinders. Widely splayed apart cylinders belie deeply spiggoted barrels and a long stroke. |
 |
| Ohc Alcyon looking remarkably like a Velocette KSS. |
 |
| Cracking Terrot veteran race machine. |
 |
| Moto Legendes is a great place to see some really early machinery. This is a 1902 330cc water cooled Manon. |
 |
| Another view of the 1902 Manon. |
