Suggestions for a budget middleweight tourer
I'm having a shuffle around with my vehicle situation, because I have 3 bikes and 1 car and I need 2 cars, so I must say goodbye to my BMW F800GS and downgrade to something a bit cheaper, I've been looking at Kawasaki Versys or the Honda CBF600. The bike will be used for commuting, touring and winte...

Re: Elefant advice required
There are atleast four bars that sell Beer at the Elefantentreffen, but I would take some beers with you anyway, they also sell tea and coffee plus food. There is a McDonald's and Lidls at Regen but not alot else close. Purchase atleast two straw bales for your tent and seating area. The Elefant Ral...

Re: Agnellotreffen 2017
Hi Andy thankyou, yeah it's a fairly new Wintertreff being the 4th edition in 2017, but it looks like a beautiful location, and 1500 bikers went last year so looks popular.

Re: Where,what we doing next year...biking thread lol..
I'm starting the year off with the obligatory winter trip which is currently being discussed by the usual suspects so we can decide where to go. It's either going to be the Elefant, Augustusburg or a raid on Poland where we burn trees, cook meat and drink beer for a long weekend at a place to be de...
