Happy New Year 2015!!! Welcome to HU Germany!
Hi guys out there,
Welcome to another great HU Germany Meeting!
Last Fall we had tried out our new location - and everybody loved it!
Campingplatz Pfrimmtal in Sippersfeld - what a great spot...
Ideal also for families, don´t worry - bring your kids too.
Great fire at night, nice walks through the forest or perfect motorcycle roads around, like the the famous "Johanniskreuz"!
Presenters are always welcome - Presentations in English are totally okay!
Don´t be shy - we also need some workshops too.
For example:
- First Aid
- Outdoor Cooking(Roadkill???)
- Mechanics
- GPS
- Foto?
- Movies? Like Gopros etc.
- Blogs?
Hope to see you soon - Jens and Family

Hey folks,
I am planning to come, but 55-65€ is quite some money. I have never been to a HU-meeting before, could you please explain the costs to me?
30€ for camping, alright, but what are the remaining 25 - 35€ for?
Thanks!

Welcome to HU Germany!
Hi out there,
maybe it sounds too expensive for some of you... But we have some costs to cover...
All the presenters are free, that means we have to finance their costs and presents(T-Shirts etc.)
We have technical equipment like beamers, speakers, Microphone... we also rent tents and other stuff.
And of course we have to keep the website running - to help ALL THE TRAVELLERS AROUND THE WORLD!
Some of you spend thousands of Dollars in equipment that you don´t need... better to spend the money on the Meeting and you get first hand information about things you need and don´t need...
We have a increasing number of visitors every year, so that is a good sign, even if we have to charge 55 Euros.(65 on the spot).
We have people from all over Europe, sometimes even from other continents with the best presentations you can imagine...
Hope to see all of you in May 2015!

Just came back from a great trip around Cuba, and this couple below loved my bike...

Thanks Jens,
I did not know the presenters are being paid. So that might be a way to refinance coming to the meeting then?
Cheers!

Still worth the cost, a chance to meet up with like minded bikers.
At whsts looks like a great venue. I dont think presenters are paid, they may get some expense to cover costs may be wrong.
Still looking forward to the meeting.

I never got payed for presenting but presenters were allowed to camp for free. This is a great deal. Most of the other meetings are to expensive to go there anymore 
For me i dont need a expensive camping place with hot shower, a lawn to pitch a tent is fine...I dont mind about cow shit here and there as long as I can afford to come. No to stop travelling and earn money is not an option

Hi Jens,
I am quite keen to come to the HU meeting and was thinking even of presenting this time. I've never done it before but I might run a topic or two by you, see if it's of interest.
Thing is, my boyfriend and I set off on our travels a year ago and are currently in India, returning to Bulgaria end of March to then sort out our bikes. We've had a few problems and are thinking to return to Berlin to sort them out. If all goes to plan, we will be in Germany in May. (And then we would definitely come to the meet.)
But as nothing is completely certain now, I was wondering what the deadline is for signing up to present? After all you have to plan and schedule it all.... (And I don't want to sign up and then have to cancel.)
Let me know!
Maria
