Alex-Corsa Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 If I'd know the first letter of the marque, I'd definatelly came up with lots of info..LOL, was it with a 4T or a 2T motor? Link to comment
badmotogoozer Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Not Lucifer's Genitals. Although they likely would have taken a beating on this beastie! Rj Link to comment
badmotogoozer Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 This isn't looking good... So I guess I can assume that engine specs and a full set of engineering drawings won't be forthcoming... The first letter of the manufacturer is a "B". 2T or 4T - I don't even know what that means...

After studying the pic I think that has to be a Bougery. Engine that starts with pedals , one of the first Frensh bike manufacturers.Not so likelly to be a Barre cause they did tricycles at the time (I think).But I wouldn't be surprized if it was a Buchet or Bouchet (dunno which is correct writing.)

badmotogoozer Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ahhh I see - you meant 2 or 4 stroke... gotcha, and I don't know. Now if you're just going to guess French manufacturers who start with "B" - that's just not right! I'll say yes or no to any guess that includes both a manufacturer and displacement.

Rj I don't try guessing anything , I have answered in the first line. The other are additional infos about the era and my thoughts. You'll get the cc as well.Let's hear to others ,hehe Link to comment
badmotogoozer Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Nope - Buggery is out of the question. Although I seem to recall Napoleon was quite fond of it. Rj Link to comment
badmotogoozer Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Take another shot Alex - you're super close Rj Link to comment
Alex-Corsa Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Take another shot Alex - you're super close Rj O.K. Then this has to be (is) a Buchet of around 1903 a parallel twin (cause they were doing twins) with around 3000cc (2976cc 111B- 13.6Str.) 4 stroke engine And a speed record holder for the Kilometer run They also have developed a 4245cc parallel twin around that time for racing, Alessandro Anzani also raced Buchet works as well as he latter developed a W3 engine Well? Thanks for giving me another chance. Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 its gone past a req for a stumper, I'll let it stretch on till tomorrow, (believe me I've looked and even tried to cheat) but could close it out today if BMG is so inclined Link to comment

Thanks for giving me another chance. Well done! A Buchet 3L is what I have. More info anyone? Would love to know more about this bike and the manufacturer. Another point for engineering drawings!

mike wilson Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The aeroplane engine manufacturer Anzani had close connections with Buchet. There are some pictures of him on Buchet and Buchet-engined machines here. http://www.hydroretro.net/etudegh/moteurs_anzani.pdf Another potential source of information: http://lesmotocyclettes.free.fr/moto/buchet.htm And, finally, a _much_ better picture - with, presumably, Fournier riding. http://www.tracesdhuile.net/forum/communiq...-grt-vt943.html About halfway down the page. No brakes, no throttle, direct drive (although it might have a 3-speed hub), possibly a magneto cut-out, a pullover and possibly a cotton and leather helmet. Not yer average cheese-eating-surrender-monkey..... Link to comment

Do I get any decorating point for my sig ?.... LOL Link to comment

Would be interesting to hear what stories he was telling his grandchildren on long winter nights (if he survived these monsters).. Link to comment
