Nice ride... I'd love to be able to do it, but... The vehicles in the four car convoy at 26.05 are BMW Isetta 300; they're a three-wheeler bubblecar, powered by a BMW single cylinder 300cc air-cooled engine with a 4-speed gearbox. The earlier version of the car, introduced in 1955 had a 250 cc single, modified from the BMW R25/3 bike. These four are the later, post October 1956 version, as they have sliding side windows. More than 161,000 were made before production ended in 1962. They were also made in Brighton, UK. The Isetta, which could be driven on a motorcycle licence, saved BMW from bankruptcy, as their cars and bikes were too expensive in the post-war economic environment. I exchanged a Jawa 250 for one, back in 1963/4; it saved me from freezing on the 150-mile weekly commute to my military base; no heated gear or grips back then! 😉
Nice ride !! To bad the rain interfered with your fun .Here in Canada you never see that many bikes out even on the weekends except for Harley riders riding in packs or parked at the coffee shop admiring their chrome.
ahh the rain wasnt bad at all, only got us a bit on the final stretch and we were dry by the time we got back to Scuol, was nice to see so many older bikes too, some gems we rode past
