My other bikes - Triumph . Simson and Velosolex

Post by r80rob » Thu Dec 05, 2013 6:13 pm

As per title these are my other rides;

'64 speed twin , original paint and when found only 26k miles with history to back it up , have made a few discreet mods - in line oil filter and a smaller rear sprocket (can get 75 rather than 55 now !) plus a rack for touring , defiantly a keeper :mrgreen:

The wife's Mz Simson s51 brought to do jog-le and never sold after , excellent little machine solidly engineered and good fun , recently got it back on the road whilst the c70 is being powder coated;

Lastly my Velosolex 3300 , I also have a 2200 and a 3800 but they are projects , this is registered and road legal , plan is to have a his and hers to take away with our camper so we can pootle around country lanes on holidays , also be good fun at the larger weekend vw festivals we attend ;

All fun and games :D

Nice one or should that be ones? Just as a matter of interest, is the Simson restricted or not and what'll it do Mister?

Hi sorry I don't think we will be selling anytime soon it's far too much fun, they do come up now and again on eBay at about the same prices as cub.
