germ feat 30th Feroxx / Ultra Kaeszeh - Meddro 5 Billiona
Schweinfurt finest!
On Wednesday morning, 14 August 1957 was, for me the world is in order. Well, I was probably a little nervous already, but by 1000 I had the Clock Road Traffic Office in the Northern Ring take the practical motorcycle test. Against 0930 Clock I stamped me in the store love field from the Hasler AG. The hourly wage was standing there, to make careful use of every minute. The reward has been settled in minutes.
factor 1:
today can kick-off to fire up electric motorcycles, then, as you certainly know that. This was always associated with an extra "kick". If he comes, he will not come? This time he did not, definitely not! Record-breaking Spurt in Mattenhof, the then headquarters of the company. There he met my old friend (you know who the ...). "Of course you can use my Puch. Instead of the lost key but you have that bent, thick nail stuck in the ignition. Take good care, he leaps like to back out. You will have to hold his hand. Also, I can not unscrew the cap of the fuel tanks. Hopefully, the must have enough ". The explanation of how you hold the nail and at the same time the gas and clutch lever operated, he did owe me.
Factor 2:
Somehow I reached the road traffic office in time to start the test could. The expert was in the car. First sharp curve, the engine got out. Descend, kick-off, the nail holding on unnoticed. After each trip, the same procedure again. Then I managed the feat "Motorcycling with three hands." Without further incident, I completed the remaining courses. Expert commentary: "Passed. Initially, I thought, but in all seriousness, you can not even riding a motorcycle and was about to stop testing.
Factor 3: made
The unscrewed in the Fiat garage in the northern ring with a large pipe wrench to the gas cap to reveal a large thimble remaining quantity of petrol. My "lucky Angel" was on 14 August 1957 fully on it.
How to drive off the fruit Wabern mountain? No problem. Via Marzili, mat, bear pit, Aargauerstalden. Stop! Passage mat prohibited. What to do? Unlike some dozen daily driver I consider myself as a vertical Swiss on this ban, especially since you could just read the car number, make a complaint. (Cyclists have it good, they must take no account of such things). During the long detour was on tuna and place Ostring strube me a story during my young men's to mind. Because everything is time-barred, I am brave for once. Here is my confession.
surprising purchase of an old, cheap motorcycle (BMW 250 cc) in the presence of my childhood friend. (You know about earlier, with the most beautiful sister). He had his Puch it. What we do with the motorbike, far away from home with no signs? We unscrewed the license plate from Puch and secured it with a wire at BMW. I could not drive car or motorcycle, and also had no formal teaching ticket. However, I allowed myself to "persuade" to drive yourself and take the "test" to store. My friend, back up to eat: "Knock me on the left shoulder you turn left to right or vice versa." Is one and done. After two or three times, stalling the engine, I managed to keep the vehicle in motion. I was the mirror in the inner city, and use the Loebegge (Polizist!) through the main streets to the bear pit "knocked". Because of the many visitors regulated pedestrian crossing where a police officer to transport. Of all things to me, he stretched his arms up to stop the traffic. Until then, "the machine fully dominant," I just choked up directly from the guardians of the law the engine. Will try to get any red heads, we got down and pushed the motorbike on the page. Apparently we had such a cool as this used to do formerly Eddy Constantin and then James Bond. In any case, the officer remembered the slogan "Your friend and helper," helped us to just push the motorbike and then devoted a large pedestrian group risen from a Car.
At that time I was not aware that these were decisive seconds in my life. About the same as the vows at the wedding. Now I know what driving a unredeemed and therefore uninsured motor vehicle means. And yet this without valid identification. Showing massive and punished, I would not have the police school can compete and do not get this training without a job with insurance.
Note: Even the size of a pedestrian group may decide on a professional fate.
