the new BMW S 1000 RR followed by a second place on
the podium in Saturday’s race.
As always, BMW Motorrad Days were dedicated to
generating a relaxed party atmosphere – everyone was
sure to find their favourite spot with a wide variety of
live music on offer.
By contrast pure action was delivered at the Original
Motodrome Wall of Death Show by Donald Ganslmeier
and his team as well as at the BMW Motorcycle Drift
Show by Alex Le Marseillais from France or the Freesty-
le Show by Irishman Mattie Griffin at the Event Arena.
Visitors were also stunned by the gravity-defying
stunts conducted at airy heights at the FMX Show. Anyo-
ne who felt like getting in on the action themselves, had
lots of opportunity to do so: over 1,000 participants
went for test rides, over 600 visitors did offroad laps in
the Enduro Park. The Kids Trial Taster Training sessions
were surely the highlight for the bravest of the young
visitors. 150 of them gained their first experiences on
motorised two-wheelers.
BMW Motorrad Days was again a huge success and
along with the more than 15,000 motorcycles and acces-
sories sold here's a few astonishing statistics; consumed
were 5,000 scoops of icecream, 1,000 crepes, and 20,000
litres of beer.
The BMW Motorrad Team is already working on the
20th edition of the BMW Motorrad Days which will take
place from 3 – 5 July 2020.
