Some more scanned slides and negatives from 1974-75 during our European motorcycle oddesey from Australia...

Sorting more slides caused me to pause and scan more into my computer...I've run previous posts on this sort of stuff...no particular theme or order, but interesting photos via DQ of another time....

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...
