AMD European Championship Winner 2008
Thunderbike of Germany scoops second European Championship in three years
Andreas Bergerforth and the team at Thunderbike (of Hamminkeln in Germany) can now add their names to the list of those who have proven their championship grade credentials on multiple occasions, having backed up their 2006 European Championship win with this year's title.
In 2006 Thunderbike won in Europe and went on to be second in the Official World Championship with 'Spectacula'. This year's return to the podium two years on from that success was with 'Open Mind', an S&S-engined fusion of old and contemporary styling that showcased the kind of engineering and production excellence that has become the acknowledged hallmark of Championship program winning bikes.
Thunderbike took the win in one of the closest European Championships yet seen. Second place was taken by last year's third-placed builder, Riverside Motocyclettes of Vallon Pont d'Arc in France (in collaboration with Mort-M Garage) with 'Sugarland Express'. Third place went to another German, and somebody who is a veteran of the European Championship program, Tobias Guckel of TGS Motorcycles (Tittling/Rappenhof, Germany) with 'Seppster 2'.
