Just found this great photo which I thought I'd share.

Great photo. Do you know the rider or place? I thought the rider had the look of Olga Kevelos but it's probably not her. Might the reg plate be Swedish?

"Marianne Weber, a Journalist from Belgium, tested the R68 for the French magazine “MOTORCYCLE” (issue 81/August 18, 1952) and achieved a top speed of more than 160 km/h and gave the proof that the R68 was a real 100-mph racing-bike. This photo was made by “R.G. Everts” in April 1952. Marianne Weber later achieved 162.895 km/h (101.24 mph) in 1954"

Fantastic! Thanks Fontana. Not heard of her before. I like finding out about old test riders, a lot of them seem to have had really interesting lives.

Great photo and interesting information.

I have seen this before. For me it epitomises exhilaration , it is timeless and represents quality time being exercised on two wheels. An excellent capture. The human aspect is outstanding, probably due to the attire.

Reminds me why I own a bike, even if I do not ride it much.

quality.
