Cool pics. It appears that the motorcycle in the third pic also has a K31 in the left side as there is a muzzle cup on the left frame.

Just moments after uttering "Why they couldn't hit an elephant at this distance", Major General John Sedgwick was killed by a
round to the cheek by a Confederate sniper at a range of 800yds on May 9 1864.

What is the time frame for the motorcycles in the colored pic's? My guess is early 50's. The motorcycles look like a clone of the BMW's. Twin
opposing cylinders and a shaft drive.

By looking at the first two pictures makes wonder what kind of soldier owned this K31. The dings(wear) are mostly concentrated on the left side around the
cheek-welding area, duh, that's why they need Automatenfeet to help shaving off their beard.

Motorcycles could be a Zundapp. They do not look like WW2 BMWs, but the Germans used a Zundapp that also had opposed cyclinders.

That's a Condor 550. The Swiss Army used Condors until a few years ago when they switched over to BMWs. Some of the Condors used Ducati engines like the
Condor 350. Condor also made bicycles for the army.

Thanks for the info. Nice looking bikes.
Do you know if Condor ever made Reynolds 531 tube racing bikes in the early 1970s? I remember a really beautiful Condor that I belive had French (metric) threads, so it was not English.

It may be a 580 I can't remember the actual displacement. I used to have a 350 but got rid of it a couple of years ago. Great motorcycles. Wish I still had
mine. It even had the original rifle brackets.

Hmmm... Young men with motorcycles that don't belong to them and free gas/petrol. Let the good times roll!
