motorcycle touring holiday Germany Europe classic Ducati Bimota Superbike experience
23rd annual Spökenkieker Fahrt 2014
One of the most charming bike events we had the pleasure to visit this year.
As we were going to be in the area, we made some time to visit the Heiner Beckmann motorcycle museum in Harsewinkel-Greffen.
Unknowing that the annual Spökenkieker-Fahrt (ghost rider run) was taking place.
The Spökenkieker run is organised by the 'Motorrad-Veteranen and Oldtimer Rallye' vintage bike club in a different location each year, so we really had double luck.
Superbly restored Simson trike in the car/bike park was one of the most modern bikes to see.
The main building of the Heiner Beckmann motorcycle museum in Beelener Straße 32, 33428 Harsewinkel-Greffen.
