#Champagne-Ardenne #TouristInfo #France - The Champagne-Ardenne area in France is beautiful and fantastic for motorcycle trips. The tourist office there has seen the light, and have created a special label for motorcycle for hotels and other accommodations, and a web site full of information for great trips. But there's one major problem in this... despite a fantastic site, it's all in French. No English. Stupid.

Back before you and I were born people had big wars, enveloping several continents. And the military knew a good thing when they saw it; motorcycles. Motorcycles were retrofitted to become weapons, or at the least transport weapons to their destination.

So in World War I and the sequel World War II, there were quite a lot of motorcycles and sidecars equipped with all sorts of weapons. The first one below is probably the most seen on the internet, the Vespa scooter that was used as a parachute-dropped canon.

Here are 25 such weapon-grade motorcycles from the old days.

You bet!
