close but no cigar!
Swiss Engine in a cast steel frame, girder forks, hand change, very rare bike, infact the only one registered with the VMCC. in the U.K. My bike is a P3 sport.
They were manufactured in LANCON PARIS during the 1920s, the four cylinder is a close formation V, and the single and twins are Calthorpe Ivory look-a-like's. Expensive things at the time. Stock piling 1929 models for a major launch on the U.S.A. Wall Street went tits-up and the rest as they say is history.
Have a gander at the Froggy owners site Amicale Dollar.

20 x 27 foot garage with inspection pit and a roof that leaks like a sieve.
Very little room to work in there though as it has four bikes, a car, two pushbikes, a fridge freezer, a dining table and a whole lot of other crap piled into it.

I have a 4 car garage for my sins which I can only get my FJR in as it's full of tools, benches, bike parts and racking which has also been extended off the side which a Norman Nippy and VT250F live.
But I also have a garage attached to the house but that for the boss's Aprilia and nothing & nobody is allowed in there

How times change...
We have extended our house (more rooms and a double garage) and the old single garage (where the car used to live) has become my workshop.
Yay!!
I spent yesterday installing the lights and putting the workbench together. There's enough room to put a bike in there and have plenty of space to walk around it. Next on the list are the shelves, a tool-board, and a good tidy-up / sort-out of where things will live.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
