Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

I love that picture!

Someone identify the motorcycle, please? It brings back a fond memory.

I met a guy in England that showed me the BSA that he rode home from Cairo when he got out of the army in 1947.

Edit: sorry, forgot to add a photo. This one seems appropriate.

That blue bomb looking logo is similar to the NSU.

I cannot decide if I'd rather nuke this thing from orbit, or drive the living E36 M3 out of it just to be a troll. Also I can help but notice the hinges on the truck doors, (suicide doors?) anyway, it's filling me with emotion, so I guess it's art. 

my mom asked if I wanted some cat treat containers she saved up, asked if I could use them in my shop. Sure I says. She hands me 2 garbage bags full. This is about 3/4 of them drying after washing out the cat treat dust. 

These will be great and it's cool she thought of me in the shop, but I'm a little concerned my mom is addicted to cat treats.

I just want to know if it would bend in half once it hit a good bump.  There's no remaining stabililty in that frame

I like the way they left the rear seat in place, because why not.

Does she actually have a cat?

Pick unrelated, but was delicious.

I'm hopeful they use them..

People always said the HHR and PT Cruiser where supposed to look like 50's cars.  Turns out when you try to make them 1 car they were wrong.  They really don't look like each other.

Looks like it may be a variant of the ubiquitous DKW RT 125:

Although on second thoughts, the bike in the photo has pressed steel forks.

Aha!

(DKW RT 125 with pressed steel forks)

The design was also appropriated for war reparations after WWII, which amongst other things led to this:
