Berny's photos with the keyword: BMW R51

1st motorcycle, in 1972, not complete yet, "slithly" not original ;-) would now be 82 years old.

My first motorcycle, which I bought with 17 - my parents were not amused, a BMW R51 (1938). The photo was taken with my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic 100 (scanned slide). ► Kodak Instamatik ► Born to be wild

My first motorcycle in November 1971, about 50 years ago - when I was seventeen, a 1938 BMW R51, 494 ccm, 24 PS, 140 km/h. I bought it for Austrian Schilling 1.800, earned by working during summer holidays in a paper factory. The image has been taken with a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera and is a scanned slide. The 2nd PiP shows the bike after finishing the "restoration" in Oct. 1972, about 50 years ago by the way. The movie "Easy Rider" was not long ago at that time ;-))
