Girls and motorcycles

Since quite a long time I collect original photos showing early motorcycles, especially from the Austrian maker Puch. Comparatively rare are photos with girls or women sitting on motorcycles. I am always happy to find one.

On the backside: "Ella & Gertie 1914-1918", unknown motorcycle, unknown registration number.
The motorcycle in the front is a Puch 220 (built from 1926 to 1929), the registration number is for Vienna before 1930. The motorcycle in the back seems to be a Puch 250. From Vienna to Schönfeld-Kirchberg are about 120 km.
This and the following photo are Puch 250 from the early 1930s  The 'A' registration number is for Vienna (1930 to 1939) and the 'O' ist for Upper Austria (1947 to 1990).



Sporty AJS 350 R8 from about 1930, registration number is for Munich.
Early Puch TF 250 in yellow, early 1950s, Vienna registration number.
