does this original motorcycle still exist

The original I believe was destroyed in a fire but many repops have been made. I think the best of these would be in the Mercedes Benz museum?

My question is how do they sound???

Even though I'm not a fan of OCC, check out this video of a replica of the bike.

Hey flthead, are those photographs repro-copies from the NJSP museum? If so, could you let me know how I can get a set of them and any others that are available.

If not, is there any way you could scan them to my e'mail address so that I can add them to my NJHMCS website. Hrdly

I've also sat on a replica in the main transport museum in Dresden, Germany in 2007. Fantastic looking machine!

Best wishes everyone.

Cory, that last picture got my heart thumpin'. I wish I could walk those rows, looking at the bikes today. To my eye, motorcycles from the 30's were the best looking ever.

Cory, just love all your pictures. They save my day and make my mind go elsewhere than on this oilrig in the middle of the North-sea where I am right now.
Keep them coming.

Glad you fellas are enjoying the pics. But I think I'm just about tapped out.....

I'm with Sveger. Thanks Cory. The last four pics are really good. The look on the little
kids face is priceless.

Hey, Sveger, check out the girls in the British bike section. Hope they make your day
go a little faster.

Yup and a wicker chair to-boot Dick! Pretty good stuff. Those old pics do really tell a story. Great photos in the British section by the way. Life magazine should be a good source for bike pics for sure!!!
