Yellowbird

On the way home from work tonight I stopped off at the supermarket where I came across this old Boxer Twin in a fetching shade of yellow.

 

I particularly liked the colour-coordinated straps holding the Krauser panniers closed.

 

I'd never seen a BMW of this vintage in yellow, but a quick trawl through the interweb turned up this magazine cover of a similar machine. Although the colour isn't the original, perhaps yellow wasn't that unusual after all.
