Shooting on the Road
While on a motorcycle trip through Germany I came across hidden gems in shops, barns and hotel garages. And here I was with just a simple camera and no supplemental equipment. I share here some of the "what might have beens" if I had been carrying my full equipment bag. Imagine, if you will, what a full studio treatment could bring out of these off-the -beaten-path treasures. Neither of the collections that I shot here were on any compilations of museums for motorcycles in Germany. Nor, of course, were the BMWs and Ducatis that I saw hidden in the back of hotel garages. I just happened to see these while riding - I wonder how many are out there with great photo opportunities.

1926 BMW R42
Bruno had one that I'd never seen, the R42. The assembly at the far left is a brake on the drive shaft that uses cherry wood as a braking material - apparently that can take higher temperatures than other woods. Don't look at the oil on the foot rest; BMWs don't leak.
