Very enjoyable, thanks for listing these detailed photos. It's not everyday one gets to see how a speedo is driven on an R32. I found the rebound damper on the R11 interesting and am wondering if my R16 should have one.

If so, you might like to visit the two new pages on my web site showing two vintage rallies I attended in Germany, in May.

The first is the Keilriemenfahrt, or Belt Drive Rally. This is for any bike from 1924 or earlier, or up to 1928 if they're actually belt driven. I was able to borrow a 1913 Douglas 2 3/4 HP (that's the model name) for this 2 day rally held over the May Day weekend.

The second rally, the Richard Kuechen Gedaechtnisfahrt (Richard Kuechen Memorial Rally), was held the next weekend. This rally was for any bike up until 1939, and they had over 120 entrants.

Check them out, there are a lot of photos of bikes you just don't see over here!
