@ to all of you
Have you ever seen these Böhmerland-bikes ??
The Böhmerland/Cechie Three-Seater motorcycle: 1935.
The three-seater "long-touring" motorcycle was manufactured by Böhmerland/Cechie in Northern Bohemia at Krásná Lípa. (Now Czechoslovakia) This was just one of their models. The company existed from 1925 to 1939, being brought down by the Second World War. Böhmerland is German for Bohemia; Cechie is a colloquial Czech word for the same area.
This machine was designed by Albin Liebisch, who also designed the OHV 598cc single-cylinder engine. (600ccm is written on the black box by the back wheel) The disc wheels were made of light alloy. There were two cylindrical petrol tanks on either side of the rear wheel, supplementing the usual tank at the front. There was no rear suspension. If you felt the seating was inadequate, you could add a sidecar, so you could carry as many people as in a motorcar.

The first one I have just seen 3 month ago in the NSU museum in Neckarsulm.
And there too was the orginal of the world most famous BMW. The blower of Schorsch Meyer from his 1938 TT victory. What a blast.
