munich motor museum
a few pictures tell the story better than i could :wink:
enjoy! i went there last year with my lovely girlfriend on our tour of western europe. the bikes from kuwait on the main square were odd. i guess they flew them over. lots of fairly wealthy arabs on the streets in munich. 8)

Wow! Thanks for sharing the great photos, Zingshoen! The Meserschmitt 200 looks like it belongs on the Bonneville Salt Flats, not far from me.

SpudRider, how far are you from Bonneville Salt Flats? that s a place ordinary earthlings only read about! one day i ll have to go to utah, and see those mythological places! the messerschmitt was used on the speed track, the 200cc remind one of a well tuned zong :-)
Krasi_BG, that s a 300cc rotary engine serial production bike. more info here, but it s in germerman: http://www.der-wankelmotor.de/Motora.../hercules.html

tnx for the page with the dates of events! wide open spaces are my kind of scene, but a bit of excitement is okay, too :-)
