...I got my license plate today and went for my first ride on it. (80 miles)...

Sadly, I haven't ridden a motorcycle in years but I see one thing hasn't changed. Why is it that when you get on a bike riding only 10 or 15 miles simply isn't enough?
 
Shot on a 60 year old gummed up Yashica 44 TLR (127 film). For some reason I managed to develop the negative unevenly. The photo was made during a gathering of owners of WWII vintage military vehicles. It is a Zundapp KS 750.

I get a kick out of the grab handle for the pillion rider. Gives the little woman something to hang on to........but takes all the fun out of the ride...:D
 
I recently got a good original petrol tank for my 1970 BMW R75/5, so it's looking more bright with double white stripes on the tank sides. Nice bright afternoon light to match.

The joy of old motorcycle repairing: me cleaning the excess lube out of the starter button of my 1970 BMW R75/5 for the third time.
