When the war ended, Mengele fled to South America. He died there in 1979 and was buried quietly under an assumed name. His remains were disinterred and identified in 1985--a too late bit of proof that even the Ubermensch can come to an ignoble...
Retro-bikes cannot be an accessory to just anyone. The retro-bike is merely the final complement--the ascot to the suit, the umlaut to ubermensch, the affectation to the accent.
