Coolest BMW EVER!!!

[Thaloc]

Seen this story on Hellforleather. Coolest looking BMW iv ever seen, and a really cool story behind it. Here is a few pics. If you click on the HellForLeather link at the bottom you can see more images. Notice the rear brake is a heel pedal, and the shifter comes from the tank just below the right handlebar.
1937 BMW R7

We've wanted to bring you shots of the 1934 BMW R7 since we first heard about it a couple of months back, but until now we weren't able to find any high-res images. The bike was found in a crate in June, 2005, where it'd lain neglected since the second world war. Now restored to as-new condition, the R7 is traveling to bike shows across Europe. The full story is really interesting, you can read about it over on BM Bikes.
