Peugeot motorcycle ... I learn something everyday.

Thanks for sharing.

 

There was no Nimbus there....   😞 

A friend has one, what a wonderful bike.

 

 

Moto-Rêve (Honda eat your heart out) anyone?

It is a small word, there is no coincidence.

 

 

With my MV now rebuild and -just to see if I like it - a race fairing fitted, it was time to move garages.

Temps near freezing does not bother me, the massive amounts of roadsal does.

 

A pal from the Aermacchi/Gilera club had offered to drop by with his van so we could transport it.

 

As I rolled the bike from the garage toward him he said 

 

"Hey, #31 is my number from back in the days when I rode 350cc classic demo races. That is funny"

 

As I rolled nearer, he started telling he'd crashed his MV 350 electronica years ago on the RHS.

Then he spotted the provisionally repaired scuff marks and asked

"don't tell me there is a CASTROL OIL decal on the other side?"

 

 

 

 

Aye!

 

 

 

So here is Theo renuited with his old MV fairing  :wheel:

 

20250118_105705.thumb.jpg.4ac34a13f141b60aea708ad984e8da61.jpg

 

He didnot recall what he'd done with it all these (15+) years ago.

 

So I asked the 80+ year old guy that gave it to me.

"Yeah, years ago I saw it lying around at a guy that used to make fibreglass fairings and picked it up a decade or so ago...
