Arriving on Wednesday, one day ahead
Booked onto this event. I attended last year's event in October, which was excellent. Riding from Manchester, I'm taking the overnight ferry from Hull to Rotterdam on Tuesday and riding down to the event on Wednesday. I should arrive around 16.00. Looking forward to a reunion with friends I met at the last event and to meeting new friends and of course, a few s. Hope the weather perks up?

See you all soon,

Graham

Motorcycle Museum Heinz Luthringshauser - The Museum - 67731 Otterbach, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Located in 67731 Otterbach
about 30 minutes from the campground
Open on Sundays and National Holidays and upon request

Unser Museum
Located in 67280 Quirnheim
about 30 minutes from the campground
Open Saturdays, Sundays, National Holidays and upon request

I would be willing to arrange a visit with one of these museums if there are others interested in going. I don't have a preference which one.
It would be neat having the museum all to ourselves, including a guided tour.

Could I please get some feedback during the next few days? Ta.
I just was thinking about something special as well. If you join from the North e.g. via the A61 there is a very impressing part of cold war history in the hills around Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler. Ist called "Dienststelle Marienthal" and is a bunker with an overall lenght of 17km (now only 200m left for the museum). It was build to shelter the german goverment in the case of a nuclear war.

Dokumentationsstätte Regierungsbunker

Important you can only watch the bunker joining a tour as described on the website. Secondly if you take the A61 there is a part of the highway which was used as an emergency airport close to Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler.

This can be an interesting break on the way to Pfrimmtal or a destination for a long 1-day rideout. There a lot of fun roads around.

Oh no, someone mentioned the weather. We're screwed. We will all have to bring waterproofs now.

First post!


Kinda late to the party I guess, but I found time to come to the event

But since pre registration is closed, I wonder how I should go about?
Should I just drive there and pay both entrance + camping there? Or do I need to call up the place myself and reserve a spot at the campsite?

See you guys tomorrow
Ill be leaving the Netherlands (gelderland) around 14pm or something

We made it back home to Munich in 7 hours. The traffic was a bloody nightmare.

Thank you, Jens, for setting up a great event.


And a big THANK YOU to Filippo for temporarily fixing Helmut's brakes so that we could get back home in one piece.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
