MAYDAY!
No, not a cry for help, but
a typical day in May not far from Norton Motors GmbH in Southern Bavaria,
Germany.
"Father's Day" is
a public holiday in Germany, with the Bavarian men normally getting
together on tractor- or horse-drawn trailers,
sampling the local beers, more often than not far more than is good for them.
A close friend and fellow
Commando owner's birthday, so instead of joining the alcoholic excesses we
used this beautiful, if initially very cold, day for a ride-out
on our
Nortons- a 1956 19S, a 650SS, my Commando 750 Shortstroke, Commando 850, and
one 1981 BMW R100 (sorry!).
On the way back home, on the
crest of the hill leading down to Gilching I saw the Alps lying in the sun
and simply HAD to take this picture!
