I went to a local disused airfield that had a military vehicle show and took these.







Dynax 7d with the SAL 1870

Interesting shots, nicely taken. I often wondered about that m/cycle halftrack thingy that the German army used, like how did it steer? I couldn't see how only a single wheel was going to influence the direction of those tracks. It turns out that the handlebars engage track brakes as well if you move the handlebars far enough.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettenkrad

I would drive that thing around everywhere. I'd have my meals in it.
