1960 Flandria

 


 In the early 1950s, Aimé and Rémi Claeys, of the Belgian bicycle brand Flandria, decided to make a powered vehicle. The moped was a success and they soon had a line of small motorcycles that were popular.  This sporty little bike is an early sixties 50cc Record.
 The company seems to have lasted into the seventies.

    The brothers had a falling-out in '56, and Rémi went on to launch the
    no-less successful Superia brand.

    That's so sad. Did they ever speak again?

    There there... Didn't mean to upset you, rats, it was along time ago
    and they're all... Well, they're all dead now.
