Does anyone know if 1952 and 1953 models are very similar? I found a 1952 gas tank and am wondering if it will fit my 1953 bike?

Very exciting!!!!!!

Hi,

Thank you very much.  These is quite a bit of Terrot stuff out there, so maybe I'll get lucky.  I have been using Google Translate and I typed in "looking for a petrol tank" and it writes it in French!

Yesterday I recieved my monthly copy of Hemmings Classic Cars and they profile someone in Central Massachusetts who restore wheels, so I will try to contact him and have him take a look at mine and see what he has to say.  I would like to do the restoration of them if possible, but can use the resource. Hopefully he'll be open to talking.  Trying to find a place in Mass. that does plastic media blasting.

So, progress is slow, but I know more than I did two months ago.

Hi Jean-Luc,

Do you want pictures of a bike I have (1953, 125 cc) that is apart?  It is rusty and needs restoration, but I'll take some if you want some.  By the way - I need some parts, do you know where I might find parts?

Thanks!  Joe Joyce

The "Terrot Forum" meaning Terrot.org?

Hi R - Not sure what you mean by "you can't track down the tank off your bike?"  Would you mind clarifying?  Yes are right - most of the sites are in french and I don't know french!  I have thought about taking a course in french.....if you hear of any parts sites in your travels, let me know!  Thanks!

Murdo - I do have some pictures and will post within the next day or so.  It is hard to imagine that this bike *may* look as good as the one in the link R provided.  Hope springs eternal, right?!  Thanks!
