Help me find my Dad's old 1970 R75/5 ?!?!

[my327vette]

Greetings,

I am desperately trying to find the 1970 R75/5 that he sold in the 1980s. It was sold in Philadelphia, PA at that time. The notable features of his motorcycle include the Karl Heinrich gas tank painted black with silver sides and gold pin striping, as well as the "cafe racer" style seat that his friend Karl Duffner brought back to the USA from Germany for him in the mid-1970s.

My dream is to find my Dad's R75/5 and ride it to the "Motorrad 100th Anniversary" Rally in Pennsylvania this September.

Unfortunately I do not have the vin number at this time to search the vin.

If you know where this motorcycle is, or knew where it was at any point in time, please contact me at my327vette@aol.com or by private message. I would be grateful!

Thanks,
Jerry

I’m sorry but I can’t help you with finding your Dad’s bike. It’s beautiful, and this is a very noble dream.

Could you please tell me about the event in Pennsylvania you mention?

Maybe a clue along the path: Back then, the Philly shop was on Broad Street, in the Olney-Oak Lane area, maybe just north of the Roosevelt Expressway? It was owned by Ned Weiswasser, sadly deceased.
Good luck in your search.
