Event report and photos from our man on the ground, Roman Juriš, who brought his Yamaha XS400 “Roadster” more than 1000 kilometers from his home country of Slovakia to attend.
From Roman: All café racer fans living in central (and nearby) Europe have the first weekend of September circled in red on their calendars. The traditional and increasingly popular Glemseck 101 takes place near the German city of Leonberg. This time it’s the 17th year.
I will not write about its history, we can all find it, as well as reports from previous years.
This year brought great motorcycles, racing machines, again an incredibly friendly atmosphere and beautiful sunny weather with temperatures above 30°C. Of course, a lot of beer, German sausages, and excellent organization. In short: the weekend was flawless.
The quarter-mile sprint race was held on hot asphalt, and I admire both the riders and the spectators who completed it. But my primary goal was not the race, but beautiful and unique motorcycles that are rarely found together in such numbers.
I think no more words are needed, photos should say it all. I am not equipped with a great camera, everything (even with mistakes) was photographed only with an ordinary mobile phone.
