Slide Shows and Work shops wanted, like always... If you have a nice story to tell, just bring your pictures - everything else we have it.

Jens

Me and Mark would love to come back to Germany this year, we met some really nice guys there last year BUT we will be on our round world trip - we are setting out on 1st April so we will miss all the fun.

If anyone in the UK is thinking of going then I would recommend it - really nice location and friendly folks too.

Martin

Yeah Martin you forgot to mention the excellant apple wine , the food and the brilliant local ride outs, great venue great people sorry i shall miss this one .
:funmeteryes:

I will be there again this year although not in the Daytona since the last episode over there on it.

Will be by 4 wheels.

I too will be there. Unlike the flatearth boy I will be on my bike.:) The German Summer meet is THE best meet.

And to the Worldtourers - Goooooood luck on your trip!!! Come back one day and bring some good stories with you, we would like to hear them all!

And Bushman... the apple wine is great!

See you - Jens

Pfingsten
 

Jeeeeens... :-0

But to all others out there: the cider is awesome an this is THE best meeting :thumbup1:

Apple wine export possible!
 

Hi guys,

See you in June!

Jens
(flying soon to Patagonia, hihihihihi!)

Of course riding a bike over there!!!

Hi Jens,

Happy to hear that the registration will be open soon. Looking forward to a great summer meeting. :D

Have fun in Patagonia!

Cheers

Bjoern

Hi,
Just wondering when the registration will open. The date fits in with my plans to leisurely travel Europe. I have put in for early retirement, to leave work in May. It would be good to meet worldly wise travellers so that I can develop further plans to pass the years of leisure and debauchery that await me!!!! I plan to be travelling June thru to August in Europe, after that, who knows??

Won't make it to the summer meeting this year since I'll be in Romania with PeerG and another buddy of his around this time, riding the EnduRomania. Might make it to the fall meeting again, probably straight from the Tunis - Genova ferry to Ober-Liebersbach :)

Maybe I'll manage to put on a slideshow on the ferry, we're planning to spend an entire month in Tunesia this year despite the current political situation. That is if it doesn't get worse, but I'm very optimistic that it'll get better until late September.

Hello from Patagonia!!!
 

Hi guys, just wanted to say hello from Rio Gallegos - Patagonia!

Weather is great and we already met a lot of other bikers. In Puerto Natales I stumbled into Adam, maybe you remember him from our last Meeting...

He rides a HP 2 around the world - great guy!

Hope to see you soon, I have one more week over here...

Saludos - Jens:D

Hi Jens,

Say hello to Adam please... say him best wishes from the crazy german guy on an Africa Twin he met between Chita and Khabarovsk last summer :biggrin:

Have fun in Patagonia :mchappy:

See you in summer in Oberliebersbach!

Hu Germany Meeting Registration...
 

Hi guys,

back home in Germany I just talked to Grant about opening the registration.

Don´t worry, he is working on it - it will be open soon!

A lot of people send me mails about it, let us give him a couple of days...

Anyway - the sun is out and it is time to start the engines!!!

I already did a little loop on my Vespa.....

See you at the Meeting - Jens :scooter:

Registration for Germany 2011 Summer Meeting is now open!

All the details are there, though the presenters list isn't quite right yet, but Jens is working on that.

We're also pleased to announce that due to a new supplier, we are able to lower the prices on the Synthetic t-shirts!

See you there! :D

Slide shows and workshops wanted...
 

Good Morning guys...

Like every year we need some slide shows and some workshops for this years meeting too.

Don´t be shy - if you made any kind of interesting motorcycle trip and you got some pictures you are the right person to give a presentation. It doesn´t have to be professional - the less prepared shows are very often the best!!!

You don´t need any equipment, just bring your pictures on a stick. We got computer, Beamer, Speakers and screen. So it is easy!(it should take around 45 min.)

Please register as a Presenter - thank you!

The same with the workshops: If you are a doctor and want to give a first aid course or which medicine should I carry - or something like this - would be perfect!

Or you are a KTM freak and want to give a speech about KTMs - that´s all right too.

Everything is possible:

Outdoor-Cooking, Healthy on the road, ("Sex on the road"??? Maybe...)
What to take for hiking? Which riding gear? , which bike? How to ship???
Foto Workshop? etc...

Please register as a presenter too - thank you!

See you soon - Jens:cool4:

New slide shows, have a look...
 

Hi guys,

We could need some more presentations and workshops - please help.

Don´t be scared - You don´t need a professional show... The less prepared are most of the time the funniest!

Look what I got, hopefully:

- A couple on MZ bikes - riding from Germany to Nepal and back!

- Morocco with a BMW Sidecar...

- Brasil by bike

and some more...

See you in June!

Jens:D
(Saturday going o Morocco... not to bad, or?)

I enjoyed last years November meet so much I am coming back for more:thumbup1:
dragging a couple of friends along this time, looking forward to it......see you there

Have fun Andy. Sadly me and Mark will not be there as we will be making our way across the Pacific towards Vladivostock around that time. :funmeterno:


And Jens... we will take a few pics on this RTW trip so (hopefully) we will be able to show some our adventures either in next year's meet or possibly at the October meet if we are back in time.


Martin

Hello from Marrakesh!
 

Hi guys,

If you have any questions about the meeting, don´t hesitate to ask me...

Bring your swim gear, a couple of public pools are nearby - even some lakes!

Any questions???

See you - Jens:welcome:

I'm booked on the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam on Wednesday. Anyone else going on this boat to the German meet?

I am from 'down south' so taking the tunnel early Friday morning,no windy ferries for us southern softies:innocent:.

Jens, where are the nearest lakes?? May fancy a swim if its that warm:Beach:
Andy

Arrival on thursday possible - of course!
 

Hi guys,

early arrival on thursday no problem, just talk to the owners of the Gasthaus.

I try to be there on thursday too - we will see...

Jens

Lakes in the area...
 

Hi Andy,

a nice lake, but you have to pay is in Weinheim, about 10 min. away.

There are some more lakes for free close to the Rhine river at Eich, Gimbsheim, and Bobenheim Roxheim.

Maybe a swim in the Neckar river close to Heidelberg is possible too, check it out - weather looks good!

Jens

From England I would ride along the Mosel river and then down the rhine river - really beautiful!!!

road to the Meeting maybe closed!
 

Hi guys,

the normal road to our Meeting spot could be closed at the weekend:

Road work from Nieder-Liebersbach to Ober-Liebersbach

So you have to go to Mörlenbach first, and then from east to Ober-Liebersbach... Easy, or???

Or from Heppenheim over the hills (Juhöhe) and then to Ober-Liebersbach...

See you on friday!

Jens:D

Plan to arrive already on Thursday evening like last year. See you at the meeting

People to set up the tent needed...
 

Hi guys,

I will arrive early friday morning(around 10...), I could need some help to unload the car and to put up the big tent...

See you - Jens:scooter:

Thanks again to Jens for making such a great weekend possible for all of us!

Here are just a few shots from the weekend. Picasa Album HU_meeting2011

Hope to see some of you again, maybe on another continent :)

Yep, thanks again Jens, it was a great meeting!

As promised I'll write up the contents of the bike electrics workshop and post it on the HUBB - watch this space for an update. Until then, if you're interested in the tool part, you can find my write-up of last year's workshop here: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-germany-51242
