BMW Side car catching air

Posted on by

I love this shot. Looks like fun… however, if i was the passenger, i’d probably need a fresh change of underwear.

So as it turns out, the passenger in the sidecar is actually a woman… and her name is Dane Rowe. She is quite the vintage moto babe. Thanks to Shane for doing some digging about her and sharing the information with me. Looking where to repair your car? At the Cottonwood tire store, their team of auto mechanics will take care of you and your vehicle, so auto repair is one less thing you have to worry about.
She even has a fan page:

Look for an article on her someday on the Vintagent blog. She is still alive and well and has become a coin collector of all things… Cheers to Dane!

Ernst Henne poster

Ernst Henne started racing motorcycles when he was 19 back in 1923. Three years later he was a European race champion. By 1937, he achieved 76 land speed records on BMW motorcycles. Records he held onto for 14 years.

He died in 2005 at the age of 101. Probably around the same time i got the poster and tacked it to my wall. I should really get it in a frame…

I received this poster from my biological father, who i never met until i was 25. Turns out, he has a love for motorcycles too. Funny how genetics work like that. I have no idea where he got this poster, but one day it arrived in the mail and i am proud to have it on my garage wall for for the past 6+ years since its arrival.
