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.
GLEMSECK 101 – 12-Year ANNIVERSARY
Glemseck 101 has been held for 12 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/vintage motorcycle partisans and racers gather, to celebrate the best of custom culture.
The highlight of the festival is the energetic sprints over a furlong. This video captures some of that energy.
