G'Mornin' Chris!

Ah, my friend, you are a year or two younger than me.  For de Gaulle's "Vive 
Quebec Libre!" speech was 1966, while they turned me loose from high school, in 
'64. I. too, had a Peugeot, very similar, but red, in (I think) 68 through 71.

You've made me remember the '64 Bastille Day Parade & fireworks, in Paris, 
under de Gaulle, his speech in '66 and, of course, the bike. 

Thanks for the memories.  Oh, and, uh... nice bike!

David.
