Velosolex - New Toy

and you need a helmet and yellow jacket.

 

and a string of onions

 

ftfy

 

The velosolex and owner with beret, stripey top and onions string would be a show winner next year. Such a cool machine it is.

 

There's an annual velosolex race near us

I’m guessing the silence means no....

 

Oh, sorry. Didn’t see the reply, but no, they both went like hot cakes.
My apologies.

 

For many years the French ran an annual 24hr race - dunno if it`s still running , hope so

 

So a small update, I’ve managed to get it NOVA registered, insured and ageing cert.

All now sent off to DVLA along with £55 to get it registered.



Got a few new bits ordered, new tires/inner tubes, brake parts.

Once I get the reg then I’ll probably strip it for a respray.

 

I need to find a smaller plate...



Changed the front wheel, new inner tubes and tires on both wheels, new brake pads on the front and a new brake cable on the rear.

Had a go round the block, it was freezing, not the fastest but extremely great fun.

 

Its lovely and if its original paint with patina, I wouldn't repaint it. Brakes, tyres yes. Then enjoy.

 

It’s been ‘hand painted’ at some point, by a blind man!

 

Nice new black paint then. Enjoy.

 

This thread stinks of garlic

 

The plate is big enough to be an air brake!!

New one on order - 180 x 130mm

 

Is there an actual show for a competitor so equipped to enter?

@Razzyh could enter with a modern twist....get @Merlin Cat to run around after him dressed as Greta Thunberg waving a rolling pin whilst @Baysearcher could act as a choking Saskatch....or similar.
