I'm really hoping that the last picture is perspective or else they've got no chance of riding that bike!!!

Is that a line of germans in pic 4 with a large patch of yellow snow behind them....or are they watching the english loose at football again.

Very good pictures but if im honest that looks like hell. I bet all those people are still trying to get warm all these years later.

ELEFANTENTREFFEN--all one word.

Just checked my very heavy rallye hat (when badges were badges!)-----I did it in 1970, 1971, and 1972. 35 quid 350 Matchless and B33 if I remember. It was then at the Nurburgring when the original Sport Hotel was still up--large black wooden building. Yes it was cold--bit of an epic aiming for gaps in the snowdrifts and complete white outs--on standard tyres etc--carbs freezing open, HT leads tracking due to salt build up and so on--helped by small glasses of strong stuff!!--but you never forget--and learn a lot very quickly. :S
