In a bid to be open and informed about all aspects of motorcycling , popped down to Stuttgart at the weekend to Glemseck 101 an event for modded bikes with an emphasis on Cafe Racers , Men with beards and generally being cool !
Our very own Carl Fogarty was special guest ( not sure why , no beard and not so cool ) but it was interesting and free of charge.
Lots of hard work been put into bikes that 5 years ago you would have been lucky to get 100 quid for , gems such as the CX Custom , XS 400 Yam .

An old Z400 twin with the rather staggering asking price of €9000 !

A much modded ZRX

Image

And some tasty Kawas that had escaped the cafe racer spannering.
