GLEMSECK 101 FESTIVAL, GERMANY

THE FRESHEST OF FOREST AIR COMBINED WITH THE SMELL OF VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE EXHAUSTS AND THE OVERWHELMING SOUNDS OF THE CROWD SHOWING THEIR LOVE OF LIFE ON TWO WHEELS. THIS ISN’T PROMO FOR OUR NEW FRAGRANCE (ALTHOUGH WE WISH WE COULD BOTTLE IT), THIS IS THE INFAMOUS GLEMSECK 101 FESTIVAL-EUROPES LARGEST OPEN-AIR MOTORCYCLE EVENT IN SOUTH GERMANY.

 

WITH THE NEW COLLECTION HAVING LAUNCHED ON SEPTEMBER 1ST; THE SAME DATE AS THE OPENING DAY OF THE FESTIVAL, WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE IT THIS TIME- HOWEVER WE SENT THE TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER, FELLOW RIDER/ MOTO-ADDICT & NEW FRIEND OF P&CO KATI DALEK IN OUR PLACE!

 

GLEMSECK 101 IS WELL ESTABLISHED IN THE MOTO SCENE- WITH THIS BEING THE 12TH EVENT HELD ON THE HISTORICAL GERMAN RACETRACK “CIRCUIT SOLITUDE” NEAR THE CITY OF LEONBERG. IT IS 3 DAYS OF THE WILDEST AND BEST BIKES, PERSONALITIES AND BRANDS- TAKING PART IN 1/8 MILE SPRINT RACES AND WINNING HEARTS WITH CUSTOM BUILDS AND GOOD HONEST CRAFTSMANSHIP.

 

BIG MANUFACTURERS SUCH AS TRIUMPH, INDIAN AND RADICAL GUZZI (ALL OF WHICH STOLE THE TOP SPOTS FOR BEST DESIGN) AND NEWCOMERS, ALL SHARE THE SAME STAGE- SHOWING THAT THIS EVENT IS JUST AS MUCH ABOUT A MUTUAL LOVE FOR THE BIKES AND HAVING FUN, AS IT IS ABOUT THE COMPETITION. THE WHOLE WEEKEND WAS ENVELOPED BY A GENUINE FEELING OF EXCITEMENT AND PRIDE; THE ENERGY SHARED BY ALL THE TEAMS, INDIVIDUAL RIDERS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS WAS MIND-BLOWING!

 

“SO MUCH BEER, SO MANY MOTORCYCLES; NO FIGHTS AND NO ACCIDENTS”- JUST OLD SHOOL VIBES & THE SPIRIT OF 101.
