    :D When mass transit goes two-wheeled.

    That's the most unique bike I've seen since the one I saw with a radial motor mounted inside the front wheel. Unfortunately, it was in a collection that didn't allow photography.

    When and where was this thing made, MrQ?

    The builder of this thing better watch out......BMW will be stealing design secrets from his creation. Nice shots.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    1929 in Czechoslovakia was used by the fire department. This bike was one of the bikes in the "Art of the Motorcycle" show put on by the Guggenheim Museum... This thing is a wonderful machine.

    Interesting! Fire department" was one of the things on my mind while I looked at the bike. 1929, eh? The rotary bike I'd mentioend was made in Germany in 1921.

    What an odd looking Motorbike, one would imagine it would be harder to control with 4 people on it?

    The side cart to the left looks good.

    Nice to see these vehicles in such good condition,
    I think it's wonderful that folks take the time to restore these things.

    Thanks for sharing MrQ thumb.gif .... Skippy :D
