[Leica] IMGs: some motorbike shots from the 60s

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Here are a few bikes I used to own way back when. I had many more as I 
used to buy wrecks and flog them onwards, but didn't always have a 
working camera, so images are limited and poor quality.

I include one of my favourites - a 1964 Bultaco Metralla 62 made in 
Lluis's city. While only a 200cc single cylinder, the Garda (Irish 
police) motorbikes - mainly Triumph 350s and 500s couldn't hold a candle 
to it. It had Dunlop triangulars, gripped like a leech, accelerated like 
a rocket (for the time), and was uncatchable on any twisty road - of 
which we have a lot of in Ireland. My biggest motorcycling mistake was 
letting it go.

I'm tempted to buy another, but I'd probably kill myself on it at this 
stage :-)
