Hi guys,
ok there we go, probably a late 70s model sold in europe. Makes sense.
I´m not too firm in german history of that period. Actually the german emporer was the son of the princess of england and ireland and the grandson of queen victoria (!). The german and english royals were really close (more or less one family) until the first WW. The english even had to change during wwI battenberg to mountbatten. Quite funny I think.
But the kaiser beeing a relative of the british royals explains why he was so respectfull towards the english ... and well, his advisors obviously sucked advising him to start WWI.
sadly it took two lost ww for the germans to realize how badly war sucks in general. Maybe this might help americans to understand why germany didn´t participate in the iraq-wars ... in spite of the gratefulness towards the us for defeating the nazis, rebuilding germany with the marshall-plan and bringing democracy.
OK, enough history and politics for a biker forum.
Happy first advent to everybody!
