At our rented flat in Willesden, London, 1974. Snowing in London ..our flat with R50/5 under wraps and the R75/5 on the footpath.... My R50/5 BMW in one of its many guises, likely on the way back from the Elephant Rally in February 1975.
The panniers I made in Australia, I'd picked up an Avonaire fairing and the regular petrol tank, a 30 litre Hoske is temporarily replaced with the tank of an R75/5 I'd bought from Slocombes of Neasden in London.
Another shot of my R50/5...not NSW front licence plate. The bike was still registered in NSW, Australia. Likely a BMW Club run...
