My first motorcycle in November 1971, about 50 years ago - when I was seventeen, a 1938 BMW R51, 494 ccm, 24 PS, 140 km/h. I bought it for Austrian Schilling 1.800, earned by working during summer holidays in a paper factory. The image has been taken with a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera and is a scanned slide. The 2nd PiP shows the bike after finishing the "restoration" in Oct. 1972, about 50 years ago by the way. The movie "Easy Rider" was not long ago at that time ;-))

The "Puch 800" was the biggest motorcycle, which Puch built in its factory in Graz. Only 550 bikes were produced between 1936 and 1938 and only a few survived. Unfortunately I sold the bike later after restauration under a forced situation. It's a 170 degrees 4-cyclinder V-engine with side valves, 792 ccm and 20 PS, 4-speed gearbox and automatic manual gearshift. - scanned slides, Minolta X700

In January 1985, after searching for years and negotiations for one year with the owner, I could buy over 20 old motorcycles, hidden in an old shed in my hometown Graz. After clearing away all kind of scrap above the bikes, this is the first view of the treasure I was hunting, a very rare Puch 800 4-cylinder, built in 1936 by Puch in Graz. Not very promising.

In 1971 I bought my first motorcycle when I was seventeen, at a small dealer in Graz, a 1938 BMW R51. In his backyard I could see several wrecks, also this one. I didn't pay attention much, years later I remembered and identified the bike as a Puch 800. The shop had closed at that time, the owner had ceased to be and nobody knew anything about the wrecks. After years I found the son of the former owner in Vienna and after one year of negotiation and uncounted phone calls he told me, that the bikes still exist. But he was not willing to sell only the Puch 800, only all bikes together, back then for a price, which was rather high for me. Anyway, I made the deal. I never documented most of the bikes I found, which I will do now. - scanned slide, Minolta X700 - see PiP

I made this photo in 1985, when I owned the bike, but never restored it. At that time I leased an old empty horse stable, where I stored about 24 classic unrestored, partly very rusty bikes. By the way, DKW means "DampfKraftWagen", later also "Des Knaben Wunsch" or "Das Kleine Wunder" ! - scanned slide, Minolta X700

HFF and a great weekend, my friends!
