Hi, i was surfing around and, doh! i found this wonderfull site ! I surely speak english like my cat, i just hope you can understand me a little, but i can understand what i read (hum... not all, in fact ^^)

I have actually one chappy (my third), a model 543 from switzerland (50cc, 4 speed manual cluch).

Before i had two 13f (2 speed auto), one limited to 30 mph (stock and legal for france), and another tuned with 63cc polini kit, a 17.5 delortho carb and ninja exhaust (55mph). I'm started a project with the 543, i hope reach near 65mph.

My first, after a good refresh in fact, for my wife :

My second, when i buy it :

and after lot of work and juste some money :

and now the 543 i'm close to finish (waiting for some polini stuff, and next a ninja or custom exhaust, blinkers, mirror, new seat, side stand...)

Also had ten years a '86 250 YZ, i sold it last year to a friend for total renew, with factory stock racing engine, but i don't know if he will going deep in mud like before after so much work :P

I have also a WR 250 '96, but not a yam, a husqvarna. More power than YZ, but i regret YZ wich was really an robust and very easy bike (but i was often close to death, but frame was very forgiving, thanks...

Great intro oudou. brill pics as well.

To make it a good intro just add a few more bits of info.

Gender? (I presume male, because in your first photo you say. ( My first, after a good refresh in fact, for my wife)

Age?

Interests?

Where from? (presumably France)

No offence intended, but we do get a lot of time wasters on this forum, but my instincts is that you are not one of them.

Ooops, you're right !

I'm 33 years old, father of two young boys, and living in France near Bordeaux. My house is near vineyards, and i work 20km farest at Bordeaux, as graphist (print and mainly 3D).

My wife now have her licence and drive in our familly car, and i have an 89 Honda Prelude (like SI at Us - 2l 150cv, 4WS)... but with 1.55€ one liter of fuel, i try to go at work more often with Chappy's (yeah,one thimble of fuel and i'm ready !!).

I don't have licence for driving motorbike up to 125cc/13cv, so i use 250cc offroad only, and also a honda xlr 125 (in fact with 185 cylinder...) - but this one is in rebuild actually, i'm planning to sell it for pay a full motorbike licence (900€...), and after i dream of an old 500xt with a supermot setup, or a 350RD customized like this <3 <3 <3

I don't like heavy bike, it's more power but often less fun, and since i'm not afraid by 2 stokes engines, i have in mind 250rs, rdlc's, and some other like these with insane rpm !

The 4 speed chappy in France is very, very rare, so it's also cool for me to discuss with other country riders !
