Elefantentreffen 2017
Has anyone been to this? Me and the brother-in-law have made our minds up to go in 2017. To that effect we are making a sidecar combination out of an '89 FJ1200 and a Watsonian Squire. I have yet to get something 'suitable'!
Has anyone been? Does anyone else fancy going? Chris |

Lone Wolf did it a few years back on his KTM epic event as usual
your choice will be ideal |

Not on here much these days but if you want any info I'd be happy to if you have questions...
Ride report on ADV Rider: http://advrider.com/index.php?thread...n-2010.547029/ It was every bit as awesome as you expect it to be :) |
Re: Elefantentreffen 2017
A good read that, thanks for sharing! Making a list of 'essential' things to take. No doubt I could halve it if necessary
I have now managed to pick up a BMW F650 on the cheap. A few jobs to do and it should be good to go. I just got a set of Conti Escapes for it. I was put off getting something knoblier by a few people who said something like the TKC80 would never last the miles..... |

Did it in 1963 or 64
Set off on my scooter but didn't get to Croydon let alone Dover, so hitched a ride with my pal on his Vincent/Steib. Got to Nurburgring OK and it was bitterly cold so pocketed the iron rations ( brandy ) and walked round the circuit - all 5 hours 52 minutes of it. Snow was up to my charmpits and managed to roll at Karussel. Stayed warm though which is more than my pals did in the tent. |

Re: Elefantentreffen 2017
Looking back - I think we were just grateful it wasn't snowing when we were putting the tent up! Would go again
