BMW on parade? [View all]

Thanks to Dipsydoodle for posting a link to a bunch of WW2 color photos.

Here's one, riding through Paris after the liberation.



That motorcycle looks like an opposed-twin cylinder engine, either a captured BMW, or there were a number of BMW clones built by Harley Davidson during the war. Either way, nice ride on a nice summer day.
