BMW R60/5 & Honda CB450

My BMW R60/5 and Peter's Honda CB450.

My first visit to the Isle of Man back in 1970 with buddies Peter and Kurt. On the way to Liverpool we suprisingly met François and Jolanda Reolon at a petrol station. We stayed together for the rest of the trip and during TT week on the Isle of Man. We enjoyed splendid weather and good racing in the Isle of Man. One of my most favorably remembered holidays.
