Yes, I've been to Berlin yet again but this time found a "statue" at the ICC centre which was composed of two motorcycles racing (with riders of course) possibly BMWs or Zundapps.... Now I know thar Berlin had the Avus circuit but can anyone out there tell me why this monument is here in Berlin at this site.?

please help

The memorial is for the "AVUS" . It is build with original stones from the legendary "Nordkurve" . The sculptures of the riders where made 1935 in bronze. The rides are Ernst Henne on a BMW and Ewald Kluge on a DKW.

My better half Sandy is in Berlin right now visiting her old schol friend who lives there.
Tonight on the phone I've set her a little challange of going to find this statue and getting a photo.
Small world isn't it.???????

Thanks very much for the info......It's not so easy to find but it is worth seeing, Cargo, I hope she will find it.

I've just been staying in the Hotel that was used in the "Bourne Supremacy"...
It's huge and very beautiful (Westin Grand Hotel)

I love Berlin and it's a pity they don't still have the "AVUS" even though it was like a double carriageway with hairpins at each end.

Thanks again for the info Mike.
