This is one of my French brother-in-law's collection, with my nephew perched on it. It is a 1959 Ratier. The Ratier company stil exists, but these days they make aviation components.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Life insurance? you wont enjoy a penny!

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson

Spot on chesters. Yes it's a copy based on Wermacht BMW dispatch bikes that were abandoned in their thousands after WWII.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

that reminded me of the first bike I ever bought, a 350cc Douglas Dragonfly like this

http://pitchpull.blogspot.fr/2011/12/douglas-dragonfly.html

I was 14 and paid the princely sum of £6.00 for mine and rode it on farm tracks

There is one just like it at the moment for £4995.00

Ah me

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

They built less than 1,500 of them, hence the hefty price tag.
