A bloke has posted an album of nostalgic old photos from a 'European motorcycling tour' undertaken by his Dad & his mates back in the 50's. Lottsa cool old pics of classic bikes (Brough + Sunbeams + Triumph) touring through the Villages and scenic routes of Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland & France:
