Karol,
very interesting revelation!
what does ""for "Stanisławowski Dziennik Wojewódzki" No. 3, 1932"" mean?

Is it possible to get the registration info for the motorcycles in photo 2 of my Gramps riding buddies motorcycles?

This is getting quite interesting...
Thanx

Hello,
I hope I can help a bit. The photo was taken in Poland, in the town of Stanisławów (today Ukraine: 15 Ivana Franka St
Ivano-Frankivsk). Marked as 1 is Jan Gutt's clinic and fire brigade garages, point 2 is the vicinity of high school no. 5 and tennis courts.

that is exhaustively great information. I would not have expected that we would get to this exact spot on the map of Ukraine. Our Polish friends scored a lot today. Thumbs up for this job. :o

The Polish club has a great background of enthusiasts. Good work friends.

Thank you everybody for your help.
Using information supplied by the great folks in this forum,
I am enlisting the help of a cousin in Ivano-Frankivsk to track down
the exact location of where the photo of the "Ukrainian motorcycle gang" was taken.
He is the principal of the high school in Ivano-Frankivsk.
