If anyone wants to do a lesson on 'How to clean an adventure Motorcycle?' feel free to use my bike as a presentation aid!


Will need a clean before riding it to frankfurt to ship to Calgary :)

Any takers?

Registered and booked my first HU Meeting, too.

hope you guys will break some blockades of my mind and get me more far on the road :D

i need another sidecar... damn

edit: I will mainly take the B8 Highway from Cologne along the River Rhine.
My dogs will stay at home, my girlfriend unfortunately too, so i have a free place in the sidecar if someone want to join in you're welcome ;)

Welcome to HU Germany!
 
Hi guys out there,

only about 2 more weeks and we will meet again!

Can´t wait to see you... after so many meetings we made a lot of good friends!

By the way a good BMW Dealer is BMW Stilgenbauer/64646 Heppenheim.

It is not around the corner, about 60 km away, but they are really good.

If you need more help in the area - I live nearby:

67549 Worms

See you soon!

Jens:welcome:

Hi Jens,

Thanks,
Richard from Cologne.

Looking forward to seeing some good side car sets ups while I am there, look forward to looking over yours.

RJ76 28 Apr 2015 14:11

Unfortunately my sidecar isn't any good for offroad traveling.
Its a nice one, Suzuki Bandit GV75A or "Kult" with EZS RX4 manufactured by Carell/Engbers, but too heavy with 185er car tires, GFK sidecar and not many space between the road and bending (hope its the right word for it).

I am coming to see what alternatives i may have from buying a GS 650F with sidecar, because its very expensive.
Maybe i will get a Jialing, it seems a good one to travel offroad and its a lot more cheaper.

but there will be a lot of time to talk, learn and discuss such things ;)

Only 1 more week!
 
Hi travellers,

Only one more week - and we all will meet again - Great!!!

Dogs:

I think there shouldn´t be a problem with the dogs, but you have to use a dog leash...

For more information please contact the Campground direct - thank you.

I am already packing.... and you?

See you soon - Jens:thumbup1:

RJ76 5 May 2015 10:58

Thank you Jens,
i think i don't must bring the dogs with me.

I am packing too, but before HU we are going for a short trip to the area around the Edertal from thursday to sunday with dogs and sozia :thumbup1:

I know I'm not directly answering your question, but hope it's still helpful:
Michelin maps are online as well, and if you zoom to the right amount it will show you exactly what you would see with a paper map, including their indications for scenic roads, etc. If you want you can even print them as well!

This link should show you the area that the camping is in:

Oh, we'll be presenting at the meet this year! We presented at the first two Ontario meetings in 2012 and 2013, and after a one year hiatus we'll be back on stage :)

We'll do three presentations: Top 3 Annoyances - A pillion's perspective, a Pecha Kucha on Iran and Turkey and a non-mechanic's RTW-trip (how to do a trip when you're not really mechanically inclined, ie me). Come join the presentations!

Can't wait to meet new overlanders and to hear stories. It's always fascinating to hear all the stories from other overlanders and help others plan their trips. We've always walked away having met new friends and learned new things about travels!

Trips we're considering:
  • Europe to The Stans and back
  • Buy a sidecar in China and drive it to Europe (via The Stans)
  • Cape to Cape (North Cape to Cape Town/Cape Agulhas)

Three (2 bikes) of us will take a ferry from Malmö, Sweden to Germany this Wednesday night, then Thursday take a leisurely day driving down. Then on Sunday we drive back.

And of course, check out our website and blog:
