Four BMW Boxers: From Berlin to the Isle of Man TT: ‘Mission Manx’ is an oldie but a goodie and perfect for a rainy weekend afternoon as we (in the northern hemisphere) put summer riding well and truly behind us.
In essence, this 30-minute film is about four friends who ride and wrench together, honouring a promise to take a special road trip. The film, Mission Manx, follows the custom motor outfit MotorCircus on a 4,000-km (2,845-mile) journey from Berlin to the Isle of Man. The mission, for the four friends, was to ride their beautifully customised vintage BMW boxers to the Classic TT.
Riding through Belgium and France, the group made their way to the British Isles, via Dover, with a few stops along the way to sample life and motorcycle and car culture. Notably, they visit the historic Ace Cafe and the famous Brooklands race track. At every stop, the Beamers garner attention and intrigue. The riders reflect on their journey and the people and other bikers they meet along the way.
Look out for the R100/7 airhead in the video.
