In equal parts, fashionable, flirty and sporty, the viewer has to wonder which of these characters is more impressed with the other - the well-dressed woman with her tennis racket, or the dapper gent on his snazzy motorbike? Motosacoche grew to be the largest Swiss motorcycle manufacturer in the early 20th century, but its popularity steadily declined after the 1930s, finally ceasing motorcycle production in 1958. Elzingre p. 14 (var), Tennis p. 38.
