Modified BMWs

Is that an NSU in the background?

And yes, he must be a short and limber guy. Why rearsets on a hack?
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Love the blow holes on the side of the case. I guess that's the solution for a stuck engine breather...

The faring and tank are pretty cool and unique I must say. Hand built or aftermarket?
What is that braking system...dual calipers on a single monster size disk? Again...unique.

And set up for anti-lift, which can be almost as much of a problem with Earles forks. Somthing fancy at the back brake too.
