Custom motorcycles and Rock ‘n’ Roll are a winning and timeless combination destined to be together since inception. Glemseck 101 is a perfect example of that winning combination. And BMW shows that in this short film documenting so of the highlights of Glemseck 2017.
GLEMSECK 101 – 12-Year ANNIVERSARY
Glemseck 101 has been held for over 15 years in Leonberg, Germany, just outside of Stuttgart and looks like an excellent way to spend three days, at the end of the summer.
There’s a rock ‘n’ roll, festival vibe, as custom and vintage motorcycle partisans gather alongside racers to celebrate the best of custom culture.
For most in attendance, the highlight of the festival is the energetic sprints over a furlong. This video captures then energy of the sprint event.
