Hi all,

only a month to go ... 21.-23.04.2017 here in Samaipata.

We have the first presenter confirmed:

Frank Lindert, a profesional German photographer and around the world motorcycle traveler will show pictures from his 7 year journey ... and he has only done half of the world yet on his Bmw R100GS. I am sure you have seen some of his picture stories in mc magazines.

More requests came from this travelers, but they are not confirmed.

Tom and Lobke from The Moto-Nomads: Tom + Lob on and off the road. Franzi riding a Bmw 650 Dakar around South America. Rodolfo Datsch from the Bikers Help Desk in Foz de Iguazzu. Gerry from US riding a KLR south.

Maybe one of our club members will do a presentation about Bolivia, the altiplano, the most dangerous road in the world and he will answer your questions about petrol stations here.

See you soon, and pls let us know if you are coming so we can plan for food/drinks.

Saludos mika
