I enjoyed it even more thinking of how many people it'd trigger in the comments. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone that sort of riding and I myself would have crapped myself a few times there, but if this video ever went viral the trolling potential would be enormous.
I didn't quite enjoy... If everyone started to drive like that we would have a big issue, for example people were using electric scooters 🛴 recklessly here in italy and because of that they had to put stupid regulations like insurance driving licence and plate on a damn scooter 🛴
Found an old 3800 in a friend's barn that needs restoration, so found this video to see someone riding it. Had amazing fun watching how french moped riders and italian moped riders are truly the same breed. Had even more fun seeing nick respond to all the comments, legend! ps, the only difference between my solex and this one is that mine quite strangely has it's headlight on the handlebar, possibly a difference between french market ones and italian ones?
Salut! I think it's mainly Americans commenting on your driving, je trouve ça plutôt normal, cheers mate, ne t'en fais pas! Edit addendum: C'est quelle espèce de tortue !? Il est cool !
Howdy- glad you liked the video. Everything was happening at under 20mph. Cars are the dangerous things, pedestrians and moped riders are vulnerable. I'm always trying not to crash !
@@nick2ny I did like it. There are not many english VeloSolex videos, and french streets have lots of charm, so this was more than appreciated . It's easy to get carried away/not pay attention, when having fun, but 30km\h is enough to cause harm
@@tonyconnors1342 oh interesting. I've always felt that cars were more dangerous than mopeds. Did you see me putting anyone in danger in the video ? Genuinely curious. Thanks.
Lovely motorcycle I have similar one. However as a long time motorcyclist with everything from Velosolex to Ducati I would remind you of the old saying “there are old motorcyclists and there are bold motorcyclists but seldom do you find old bold motorcyclists. Your riding was beyond appalling and completely unfair on those around you. Please improve and live longer.
It's in France, I assure you everyone rides like that and it's fine. The police ride wheelies, kids drink straight from bottles of rosé riding scooters the wrong way down bus lanes. If you like motorcycles I think you'd find it heavenly.
@@nick2ny i bought a sport cylinder. And open the Chanel in the engine even more. So it gets alot of rpm. It have been working as a daylig rider for a hole year. 40km each day. The clutch has other springs aswel. It pulls really good. Never use pedals. ;)
i enjoyed the reckless driving the most

If someone runs you over, you are not in a position to blame them, thats for sure..
That would depend on whose fault it was
@@nick2ny Yours because you're a terrible driver. Brainless.
@@fintonmainz7845 Do you drive a car ?

The turtle at the end is a treat! 🤣
no wonder french people get cursed at for their driving such disregard for traffic laws
He ain't French.
I just got that exact model, a 1973, 2 owner in perfect shape and can't wait to try it. I will not drive like that tho.
Dude you should drive like that :)
I like the overtaking the moped 😎🤣
Nice video but your riding is poor
Ein Wahnsinniger !!!!
Manchmal 0.8 PS passt
Aber wirklich! Das Ding fährt schneller als 20 oder 25 km/h.
RECKLESS MOTORING GIVES ALL OF US MOPED RIDERS A BAD NAME.
moped riders have always had a bad name lol
you really are pathetic organ donor
Idiot driving, future organ donor
Maybe!
Youre riding that thing like youre late for mass 😅 great video
First time I see the Velosolex Lamborghini mode!! 😂
Grip it and rip it! I miss that old thing.

Je vais demander attend.
If you don't care about your health, or other people on the street, at least try not to crash a classic vehicle.

Un vrais danger public ce type comme il roule dépasser par la droite ce faufiler entre 2 voiture couper les priorités
Vas chier!
Je mets qui en danger ?
Dang, that's driving with a death wish! Liked the video though.
Its stylish !!!! unique drive in a city
Glad you liked it. I loved living there.
Nice, but you are driving very unsafe.
Perhaps antisocially.
2022 now, are you still alive?
Just got back from three weeks in Kenya riding like crazy!
@@nick2ny you scared the people in Kenya with your solex.
@@padre118 move over matatus !
Er fürchtet weder Tod noch Teufel! 😂!
I am glad you dont live near me.
Hiya- how come ?
@@nick2ny It would not be safe with you around on your bike.
@@tonyconnors1342 oh interesting. I've always felt that cars were more dangerous than mopeds. Did you see me putting anyone in danger in the video ? Genuinely curious. Thanks.
@@nick2ny Multiple times.
Not a good advert for anything riding like that!
Future organ doner but I love the bike.
Mmmmm doner.
vous roulez toujours ainsi?
ben oui !
How far can you go before it runs out of gas?
I think they are rated at 1L / 100km. So about 60 miles.

I have a 996 with T1 cams and it's awesome!
Kamikaze👎
you need to do a gasoline/oil mix !!
Totally! I shook it up with 2% motul synthetic
You put two stroke mix in it right?
Yes. I had a bottle of oil with me
😂 class
passed the traffic rules.
Roulé en solex ne veux pas dire roulé n'importe comment ⚠️
C'etait a Marseille vous voyez ?
a brisant driving-Style 🫣🤡👍🏻
Very nice !!
The turtle?
You made it all the way through !
Maniac 😄
Does the engine throttle itself and you just have to break?
Hi! The engine is at full throttle until you brake. The brake rolls the throttle off and applies the brake.
Sei un pericolo..😆
A bit of reckless driving ....
Eh, I probably didn't crack 30 kph. Total weight less than 120 kgs. Momentumometer says that car are more dangerous
It's more to do with the overtaking on both sides and zigzaging between the traffic.
@@ericdonjon692 I pay tax for both sides of the road
Nice i wish i could find one👍
Don't grow up, it's a trap😉👍✌
What is top speed?
~20 mph.
Not fast yet play fully furious
that's the way you gotta do it!
La conduite c'est n'importe quoi !!
Ben oui !
willing video 😎
how fast does it go
20mph
And that's 30km/h. I have a 2200 that tuned it goes 55 km/h 😆 scary shit. The frame is really wobbly
@@MAL-Collector that's awesome !!!
@@MAL-Collector how did you tune it and how is the bottom end torque and the reliability ?
