Twain:

whats that drum sitting below the engine on the side of the front wheel?

It's the exhaust silencer:

How about the 'rollercam/v-brake' thingies: :shock:

Velosolex are still available brand new would you believe from Hungary and China. i've seen quite a few new and old buzzing around the Netherlands

I'd go for a Puch Maxi, a higher class French moped.

This guy has obvously got taste, a Puch Maxi and a matt black Ford Capri with huge wide wheels.

Somebody does, that's for sure. I figured the motor was an add-on and was probably the best part of the bike but that's no add-on. Cool stuff!

It's probably a very slippery slope...

but you'll be needing Les Amis Du Velosolex

All the best,

That'll be a Velosolex...which buzzed it's way around many a French town post-war...not usually with such a distracting rider though

All the best,

There is also bike in that photo.
And I misread it. Velosex I read I don't know maybe time for cold shower...

Velosex I read

That's a whole different thread...

Just to show that mopeds can be sexy (with a lot of help), courtesy of Henri Cartier-Bresson:
