1940 R12 - Sidecar and Trailer - Palm Springs (CA) Air Museum

[exgman]

I went to the Palm Springs Air Museum today to look at aircraft and was surprised to find a WWII BMW R-12 motorcycle. This seems to be a wartime Beemer with a "Kraftrad" sidecar, and an "Infantriekarren" IF-8 trailer. It looks as if it would have been a handful to ride as equipped. I made a few photos and hope that they're enjoyed:
