For our scribe, his Motorrad Days experience was unforgettable.
Our BMW R1200S was the perfect match for our Motorrad Days experience.
Yes the bier was a flowing and we partook, along with our friend and former editor Kevin Duke.
The Beemers were lining the entrance of Motorrad Days, with the Zugspitze in the background, Germany's tallest peak.
Even the authorities were sporting Beemer badges at Motorrad Days.
Not the first or last lederhosen we saw on our adventure, but perhaps the most authentic.
There were plenty of old-school Beemers on display.
This rider put a new spin on BMW's reputation as a world traveler.
The Garmisch town square had some interesting decor.
In Germany the police were green.
There were representatives from all over the world at G-P, including some folk in Russia.
At least one person made the trek all the way from Alaska.
You thought we were exaggerating about the blond hair/blue eyed beauties? Just one of the many.
Beemers of all colors were in attendence, with some pretty flashy paint schemes on display.
The guy with the Elvis hair looked eccentric, but his friend had some weird form of gigantism.
The Enduro section of Motorrad Days included a display area as well as an adjoining Enduro Park to do some testing.
Kevin Saunders chats with a Motorrad Days participant at his GlobeBusters booth.
GlobeBusters was one of the travel tour companies who set up shop in the vendor row.
There was a drawing for one of the free G650 models.
The crowds get to spectating at the 2007 Motorrad Days.
Weather threatened but held up for most of the 2007 event.
We got an opportunity to chat with BMW cheif designer, David Robb.
There were many aftermarket tuning companies in attendance, including AC Schnitzer.
The same folks who created the GG Quad also brought this red BMW-powered four-wheeler.
As you can see, some of the folks in Germany harbor, shall we call it, some resentment toward Japanese marques.
Cutaways of the Boxer.
Cutaways of the F800 powerplant.
Metzler was on hand for tire changes.

Some bikes were a bit unfamiliar to us Americans.
Many participants chose to pitch a tent during their stay at G-P.
This was one of the many sidecars making the ride out to Southern Germany.
Is that you Calvin? What are you doing!
Participants were trying on the gear offered up by the many vendors.
Pitch a tent folks. It was festive atmosphere at G-P.
The Motorrad Days Enduro Park.
Beer, pretzels and a big plate of meat... Our scribe (the balding fellow in the center) can't make up his mind.
The biergartens were in heavy use all night long, and more relaxed during the daylight hours.
Pass the pretzels please...
For a pretzel lover (and our writer most definitely is) the trees of hanging pretzeled bread was like manna from heaven.
A plate of swineflesh, strange sausages, smelly cheese and radishes. It was all interesting and tasted pretty damn good too.
Dancing on the tables was par for the course once it got dark out. Even in the daytime hours the mood was very festive in the beer tent.
The BMW Trials Kids.
The BMW Trials Kids were a talented bunch.
Chris Pfeiffer does his thing.

You didn't have to have a Beemer to attend.
The lot was full of two-wheelers from all over the continent.
