Jurgan Hillenbrand’s BMW
Hailing from Braunschwag, Germany, Jurgan rode his hand-built BMW Boxer custom all the way to London for the most recent Ace Cafe Reunion, pressing all the way back to the European continent even though his hand-made five-gallon fuel tank suffered a vibration fracture in the process. In fact, we were alerted to the bike’s presence by a face in the crowd due its small petrol leak and Jurgan, once alerted, calmly replied, “Ja, it’s a problem I’ve noticed.” Many handmade componets make the Beemer a standout while Jurgan topped off his creation with plenty of top-shelf modern bits including the Acewell digital gauge, fully adjustable Wilbers forks and YSS racing shocks. Das rocks in any language!
