Hi Phil. No, thank goodness. I´ve been a bit poorly of late and am in bed. It´s the old back you know, so I need the old girl around otherwise I´d starve.
It´s the reason I´ve been on here a bit more than usual. Won´t last so I´m making the most of it.

Is that Kenny harrison with Ron Haslam's leathers?
Sorry, reading last night's posts :
I seem to remember having read that Gustav had a "very good" 350 at that Czech race - a Bimota TZ said to be "ex- Ekerold" or "identical to Ekerold's" , from the same tuner ( Solo ? Solitude ? ) ..... anyway, not that important perhaps since a quick machine was not sufficient to feature well on the old Brno .....
Although Alain was granted a "constructor" licence by the FIM, which made his bikes officially "Chevalliers" and not Yamahas anymore, his machines were still based, engine-wise, upon the TZ's - even if they only retained the cranckases , and maybe some parts of the gearbox and the outer of the cylinders and heads . On the other hand, the Parisienne was a 100% original machine and yes, we did discuss it a while ago .... for instance there :

I thought Reiner might trip a few up. He didn´t do many races on the 350, preferring the 500´s, but oddly enough, his best result and only podium was in the smaller class when he finished 3rd in the ´81 Czech GP.

Correct Bob. It´s the 350 Chevallier built by Alain Chevallier, the brother of Olivier.
I think you re right about the ciggy thing, but I´m not 100% sure if it was ever renamed a Parisienne, or if that was another bike. Maybe someone more qualified can clear that up.

QUOTE (philippe7 @ Oct 12 2007, 17:34)
"La Parisienne" was ( is ? ) a swiss cigarette brand which sponsored various swiss riders in the early 80 's ( Cornu, Freymond, Pellandini....) Late in 1984 they decided to finance their "own" bike and hired 2-stroke guru Jorg Möller who pinned a classic 250cc twin ( with rotary valves and "backwards" exhausts ) which proved quite competitive during the two years it was used (1985 and 1986 ) . I hate to admit that what probably didn't help its success was the choice of the rider, Pierre Bolle - a brilliant and very naturally gifted rider, but with little interest or ability for set-up and development - which is a critical issue for a single , one-only prototype...... when Guy Bertin (a man as talented with a spanner as with a pair of clip-ons) was offered a one-off ride to replace an injured Bolle at the 1986 Swedish Grand Prix, he asked for a few setup and tuning alterations which immediately proved efficient . Alas, it was already the end of the road for the swiss twin . For the next season La Parisienne made the choice to finance an expensive factory 250 NSR Honda for Cornu, and I guess there was no money left to pursue with their own machine which disappeared altogether.
Pierre Bolle on the Parisienne in 1985, for those who have not seen it before?
