Detail of a BMW motorcycle engine

I went to the Hockenheimring and walked around in the paddock. There i meet Thilo, his codriver, his father and mother - all real motorcycle enthusiasts (only BMW, of course). I spent a few hours at their place, talked with them about motorcycles and driving and took a lot of images while they prepared their bikes for the race. I liked the really friendly atmosphere, a lot of people came across and talked with them. Like Thilo said "Its not about winning, its about having a good time together". I hope i will meet them again at another race.
