I don't know for how many of you, the Peugeot photos hit the spot, but .... for me, the little white Peugeot flag did me in. It was 1970 and I bought my own Peugeot (a lower model but the flag and the tool kit still came with the deal). I remember the smell of the plastic flag ... Yes it had a smell! I remember the war blazing on in the background, and my fear that I might get caught up in it, but it didn't matter because I had that bike, and that flag, and that smell. A week later someone put a gun in my ribs and took it all. (I think the flag too but at least I kept the tool kit). Could I ever have been that young? Was that world real or was it some dream? Do you remember the smell of the plastic? I still do.
