Berny's photos

I'm always wonderung that this bike is already 51 years old. I imported it from the USA, a 1970 Honda CL 450 K3, 444 ccm, 43 PS, 175 km/h, very rare in Europe.

This is the just fully restored engine of my oldest motorcycle ever, a 1927 BMW R42. Unfortunately I have not one image of the complete restored bike, for some inexplicable reason. - scanned slides

Bought in January 1985, sold after full restoration. - scannes slide

From some motorcycles I have only one photo or none at all. Sometimes I made the first and last photo, when I sold the bike.

One of my best bikes, easy to drive, a 1928 BMW R57 in the year 1988, occupied by one of my kids after eating a chololate ice obviously. The model is very rare and was built only from 1928 to 1929, 492 ccm, 18 PS, 115 km/h, 2-cyl. boxer OHV. I bought it in original condition and made only minor restorations. Sold to a museum in Styria. The PiP shows me during a winter rallye in 1987. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

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 ;-))
