Mission Manx.
This is the story of four "MotorCircus" lads from Berlin. On BMW oldtimer motorcycles and armed with a camera, they set out on a 4,000 km long journey. From Berlin, they rode through Belgium, France and London to the Isle of Man.
The film of this journey – Mission Manx – premiered on 8 March 2014. A little while later, BMW fans around the world were able to view the result of this journey. In an exclusive interview, Christoph Köhler, Marko Kramer, Tim Adler and Martin “Lemmi” Lemcke tell BMW Motorrad about the realisation of a long-held dream.

In the tracks of "Ironman Georg".
The Isle of Man is world famous for the Tourist Trophy in June. But it's also home to the Classic TT and the Manx Grand Prix at the end of August. And that's exactly where these guys are headed. Christoph, 35, explains: "The Manx Grand Prix has been held on the same 60-kilometre route as the TT since 1930. With the difference that with the Manx, numerous races take place on classic motorcycles. This attracts oldtimer fans and riders equally. For us Berlin motorcyclists, it is the perfect place for meeting other passionate fans. And we are following in the tracks of one of our motorsport idols: racer Georg 'Schorsch' Meier. He was the first non-Brit to win the 1939 TT. This event is absolutely perfect for BMW freaks like us. The sound of open exhaust pipes fills the air, the noise is incredible and you can literally smell the nostalgia. It's simply fantastic".
