This doesn't look like a staged photo, does it? How about the "showroom " below?
Probably the mostly copied motorcycle ever, becoming the BSA Bantam, Harley Hummer, the Russian M-1A Moskva and the Yamaha YA-1, among others.

Upper photo is not an assembly line. The fellas are readying the bikes for a manufacturers' expo. The three DKWs represent the budget model; the standard (shell provided, headlamp costs extra); and the deluxe, with oakleaf clusters.
ReplyDeleteLast bike is a bicycle...
ReplyDeletehe is planing to purchase this very bike after next week. he stoles past the bik shop often to gaze upon. he already has plans to exchange the muffler with a chrome one.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: that next week he fast walked all the way over to the bike shop across the village with geld in hand. flipped a pfennig into the fountain then UP the way paste the bakery and around the corner. the bike was sold. he had to wait another week to git his. but it came with a chrome muffler so it was worth the wait.
