1 of 3 existing BMW R51 RS factory race bikes in unrestored condition getting auctioned
Read about the sad true story of how the first owner was ruined by the US Govt because he was German immigrant businessman at the beginning of WW2, just like many Japanese Americans were. He was the BMW importer in New York, and managed to finagle one of these seventeen R51RS racers from the factory.

it sat in the garge 30 years, was found by http://www.vintagesportscars.com/vintage_car_barn_finds.html who saw it once and then 6 years later the old woman who bought it new finally sold it to him and he extracted it from the garage.

The Wisconsin stash of Don Schlag, 21 semitrailers full or rare parts and rare cars
21 semitrailers stuffed with parts and cars. Don locked the trailers, welded the doors shut himself and parked them tail-to-tail on flattened tires. No, he didn't just keep opeing the doors and looking at the cool collection he'd compiled.He went to every swap meet. He took a trip to California every year in his RV and would return towing a trailer full of parts that would vanish into his stash.
