Those are fun photos Holly, thank you for sharing. I have only one question and one comment.
Question though: One photo is a group photo marked as {Wojek at Folk Gospoda} is this a Polish festival or type of family gathering}?
The museum photo of the war time motorcycle, it has been remarkably restored. I think I have it identified as a {BMW R-71 [Motorrad Mit Beiwagen]} just some useless knowledge on those things. The 3rd wheel wheel may at operators option, be engaged for power to the axel for 2 rear wheel traction. With a passenger for traction, those things are almost unbeatable.
After the war, the Russians stole the factory and move it, to East Germany to manufacture the similar vehicle as the {EMW} They are similar with the similar roundel on the fuel tank that inplace of BMW, it is marked as {Eisenacher/Motorenwerk}

Question though: One photo is a group photo marked as {Wojek at Folk Gospoda} is this a Polish festival or type of family gathering}? Thanks to all for your kind comments! Charles - the group photo was taken at a restaurant, "Folk Gospoda" which I recommend - There is live music each night - and the music gets better as the evening goes on - but I am not sure if that is due to how much piwo I was drinking or they were drinking! BTW FG has GREAT smalec! The museum photo of the war time motorcycle, it has been remarkably restored. I think I have it identified as a {BMW R-71 [Motorrad Mit Beiwagen]} just some useless knowledge on those things.

After the war, the Russians stole the factory and move it, to East Germany to manufacture the similar vehicle as the {EMW} They are similar with the similar roundel on the fuel tank that inplace of BMW, it is marked as {Eisenacher/Motorenwerk} You nailed it - it is a BEAUTIFUL example of a BMW (which by the way in Warsaw is referred to as BM - Warsaw) motorbike. I knew you would spot it! ;D |
