German soldiers advancing on a Sd.Kfz.142 / 1. Eastern Front, 1943.
You've been busy tonight Louis! 
Original colour photo of German motorcycle messengers France 1940.
I was looking up the BMW motorcycles from WWII when I found this.
Looks like a chilly business.

I was thinking "Home" and he probably won't find that either.

Nothing against your great work @Louis! But whenever I see such a well-fed man in a WWII uniform on a b/w photo that is nearly in HD quality, I doubt that it is an original.
And imagine: If you were with your comrades in such a bicycle group during World War II, and a photographer or a comrade would have come by to take a picture,
would you have told him not to show the faces of your mates who you are suffering and fighting with, but rather to show them doing something pointless to their bikes?

I agree -- the pic does have that "re-enactor feel to it".Nothing against your great work @Louis! But whenever I see such a well-fed man in a WWII uniform on a b/w photo that is nearly in HD quality, I doubt that it is an original.

I like the leggings they wear.
I'm thinking they're designed so your pant cuff doesn't get caught in the chain and sprocket.
