I have acquired my first Motobecane 50v... for a bottle of Jameson. Fortunately it is relatively clean and complete. It needs just a couple things like a petcock, carb and cables. I did get it to spark after I replaced the Noviy condensor and external coil. It shall be receiving a Dellorto SHA carb, and that's it! I am not interested at all in anyway with any further performance upgrades.
I now own 2 French bikes, which makes me slightly uncomfortable. The other being a 1965 Mobylette AV88

ALSO!
The Puddle Cutter's PDX rally was awesome! My Motomarina Raven broke ANOTHER rear axle, and my wife's Puch Bombardier broke a ring. Parts are on their way for the quick repairs.
I followed that up immediately by a week in Wilmington, NC for the White Line Riders rally Southern Comfort 2, which was also awesome! Those guys and gals are extremely friendly and hospitable. Here are the only 2 photos I took:
