This post, under the unassuming guise of changing oil, seems to so delightfully feature that Hazet tool cart of yours.

indeed, merely a burd excuse !
;-)

BTW, the cart is really, really useful, it is tiny, it can go around your place unobtrusively, and then you open the display of tools ready for the occasion, this time oil change, then brake overhauling, next one carb synchro, then stroboscopic fine tuning the ignition,...together with the lamp to see what you are deling with, not only is beautiful, but very useful...

Must be very enjoyable and therapeutic to immerse yourself not only in the maintenance but also the tools and accessories of the period.

Beautiful. Pure art. I don't want to drive them. I want to put them in my office or living room as sculpture.

was this a custom build or a racing model from long ago? Never saw one like it.

Pretty sure that's a custom as I have seen almost every BMW motorcycle ever produced at Dave Percival's from 1923 to 1976 and have not seen this one before.

That is a very good number. Probably happy on Algerian gas too.

drive in hilly roads always 3rd 4th, trying not to go too slow, i assume other kind of friving might be less consuming
