Great story but a sad one..

Bike looks like a BAOR version - looks like the side stand is tucked up under the magneto cover.

There were some old Dunlop Trials tyres kicking around in the mid 80's but usually the Regimental bike teams had the PRI pay for them from a local bike shop, usually Pirelli MT43's. When we had to go on exercise we just bolted the panniers back on and left the tyres on as they were better off road than the OEM metzelers! Then asked the PRI for some more for the next 3 Stage Trial! Good ole days!!
