I don't know the source, but I was guessing maybe German soldiers on the Russian front, though it's not a German helmet. I can appreciate wanting to save every bit of engine heat with all that drapery. Sure looks miserable.
The internet seems to agree that it's German soldiers on a BMW R71 on the Eastern Front in February 1942. I have no idea if that's true, but my caption would be "They're sending me to the Eastern front. Cool. I'll meet a nice Polish girl and eat kielbasa all day. And I'm getting a motorbike! They said."

Sorry, I'm trespassing on Marshal territory here.
