Hi guys,

Hello Grant, Susan & Jens,
we are currently in Usbekistan and should make it to the autums meeting after 2,5 years travelling. Finish shall be beginning of October. Just don´t know, if we can come with the bikes because the TÜV has expired ;-) Alexandra & André |
welcome to Uzbekistan!
Hi guys - of course you are welcome!
Who needs Tüv.... we want your pictures! It would be great to see you here - stay safe! Regards from the Alps - Jens:scooter: |
Hey Jens,
I guess it's time to remove the "Sticky" from the 2011 autum meeting thread... and make this one here sticky ;-) Just to avoid confusion. Cheers, see you there :D Stef |
Will try to make it on Friday evening.
|
Any idea about how much people will attend already/for sure?
|
Germany event
Hi all,
Thinking about running down from the UK to the event, do we know how many are due to attend? Thanks Spiderman |
Forgot to add
It will be my first event, probably due to travel on my own. Are there many others coming from the UK?

Only 2 more weeks... get started...
Hello Guys,
after very busy last 4 weeks, jumping around between the Pyrenees, Tyrol, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium -all on the bike - it is only 2 more weeks to our next HU GERMANY MEETING... Slide Shows: If you have some nice pictures, or just a great story - feel free to present it on our Meeting. Even old trips are very funny to listen too! On old bikes from the 60/70 etc... Workshops: If you are interested to give a workshop - you are welcome: Fist Aid, Outdoor Cooking, fix a flat tyre, electrical problems, homesickness... etc. Maps and Guide Books: If you have old maps and guide books that you don´t need anymore - just bring it with you - maybe someone else need it? So guys, that´s it for te moment - the German Beer and Apple Wine is waiting for you - see you in 2 weeks! Jens (HU Germany Meeting Organizer):D |
Please register...
Hi guys,
please register - it makes it so much easier for the Gasthaus, so at least we have an idea how mny people show up... Of course you can show up without registration... Thanks for your help - See you soon! Jens:welcome: |
Do not think, go there!
It´s excellent meeting, lot of nice people and really well organized. :thumbup1: I would go there for sure, but now I am in Nepal :D and week from now in Thailand :thumbup1: -Hemuli |
I will be there camping with my slideshow «on a 125 ccm honda around southamerica» really looking forward to see you all again :-)

Names + NICKS...
Beyond pedestrinaism and old XT... 95% we are going on a rented car and staying in hotel. Any other option would be asking too much to my almost 7 months pregnant wife... :innocent: (unless we buy a 2nd hand car earlier!).
Just a comment: last time we all carried stickers with (only) our 1st name. Bike model or continents do not look important to me... but I would love to see NICKS next to names to identify people whose posts I enjoyed here in HUBB. Anyone agrees on that? Comments? BTW, strongly recommended to anyone doubting whether to come or not. COOOOOME, it's great fun! See you soon, Esteban PS: Jens, as soon as we get the Kia Picanto or Fiat Panda rented, I'll book... "less is more"! |
Hi,
Anyone from Munich planning to go? |
Not this fall...
Hi,
Due to a motorcycle crash, I will unfortunately not be able to attend to the meeting this time :(. The doc said that it is not really recommended to drive a bike with a broken clavicle...:nono: and there is also some work on the bike…. Regards from Switzerland Sven |

you know that some fine Scottish Whisky is already awaiting you bier, so you are not allowed to stay at home :nono:(Schlüsselbein - das is doch kein Beinbruch, od´r?)! So take your chance and accept Estebans offer (who’s contributions, BTW, are ALWAYS more than useful) and get a lift to the meeting! Hope to see all you guys next week Jörn |
Quote:
Sven, on the way back we may do some tourism, like a short visit to Heidelberg; I hope you wouldn't mind. Rest assured it won't be demanding, my (pregnant) wife won't certainly walk up the Philosopher's trail. If Louis shops open on Sunday, as well (no problem on that, uh!). But up to you, it's your clavicle and you know how it feels and if a camping ground is the right place to sleep now.:( |
Hola Esteban ,
especially if you come with your wife, I hope you will pitch your tent better this time!!! Really glad you will be there.:D Renato. |
Quote:
Looking forward to meeting you all and have the same nice chat and laughs. I have to hear about your summer trips, such as the one to St Petersburg on a 1150 (anything else on the pipeline?)! -E |
Hi
We are currently in Germany have a 4 x 4 truck built, used to be motorcyclists. Looks like a fun meet, will there be anyone there that has a 4 x 4 truck or planning to have one. Its a fair drive for us, but we will have a motorhome to stay in. Neil |
4x4 Welcome - no problem!
Hi Neil,
of course you are welcome in your 4x4 - of course we have a place for you. I will be there from thursday on. Only 4 more days... can´t wait... See you all - Jens:D |
Will be there, too (friday and saturday).
Stefan |
Hi guys,
I will be there on Friday late afternoon only. I attended the last meeting in June 2012 and was really a pleasure. Happy to see you again and share stories bier Cheers Lawrence |
Only 3 more days... great!
Hi guys,
just 3 more days... getting already nervious... I will be there thurday morning to set up the big tent, could need some help... See you soon! Jensbier |
Hi guys,
Well, we hope to make it... as the bike is still being fixed... They are TRYING to fix it this week, so I hope we could leave friday morning from Belgium, thursday would be better but I have almost no hope anymore for that, so we will hopefully be there from friday afternoon or so... IF we can make it, we can bore you with a ride report for our 4 months trip (Scandinavia & Russia on 2 DRZ's 400 and Balkans on the GSA) and a TechWorkshop about photography... but I won't be able to tell for sure, since I am phoning twice a day to BMW to hurry them up to fix my GSA... ;-) So hopefully see you this weekend, and if somebody is up to it, we are going from the meeting straight to Morocco for 3-4 weeks.... :scooter: |
Hope to see you!
Hi guys,
good luck on your way to the Meeting! See you on thursday - Jens |
Allright guys, we should be able to make it! I just got message from BMW that they replaced my gearbox etc so the bike should be fixed by tomorrowevening, so we should be there by friday afternoon.
I am also finishing the presentation about DSLR Photography for all of you who wants to know a bit more about making (better) pictures with a DSLR camera. @ Jens; don't be nervous! ;-) btw, I AGREE WITH ESTEBAN ABOUT THE STICKERS WITH THE NICKS! I honestly don't really care what bike somebody drives, you can do 'anything' with 'any' bike, but placing a head on a name is way better... ;-) So we will do this... although my real name is also Seb, so not really a problem here... ;-) CU friday!!!!! |
Quote:
Well, my real name is Margot and not "Renato aka Montebianco", in case you see me around. Don't be misled, I actually prefer Margot to Renato, so please call me so if we meet.:blushing:doh Anyone heard about SNOW? Supposedly here in Switzerland it will snow above 500mts... |
controlling the weatherforcast in the last days. it looks good. no snow. maybe some rain. will be there tomorow afternoon/evening.
I'am very curious. Cause I'am a total beginner. Made my A open licence in march. Got my bike in may. looking forward. angelika |

The meeting is going to it's end and whoever was not here: you were wrong!
We had sunnybeachweather, 30+°C and a bikini contest... oh wait... that's just me dreaming... ;-) anyways 4 pics that tell a lot about how it was for me: http://www.wanderingsouls.be/wp-cont...GER-2012-8.jpg Needed a lighter to heat up the ignitionkey and the locks on the panniers... http://www.wanderingsouls.be/wp-cont...GER-2012-7.jpg It was nice at night: http://www.wanderingsouls.be/wp-cont...GER-2012-6.jpg http://www.wanderingsouls.be/wp-cont...GER-2012-5.jpg CU next time! Seb & Kim |
@Seb, could it be, that the weatherforcast was wrong :oops2:. My weather app is guilty :innocent:
@Jens, when is the meeting in june??? Great meeting. I'am so :D happy, that I was there. And with my new heating grips, the way home was easy to make (thanks to the dieselrider). Did learn so much, met interesting people, got many travelinfos, had a loot of fun. Thanks. angelika ps: on the way home, I made it through the construction :mchappy: |
As long as one have a warm sleeping bag everything is a' ok. Only problem is to get out of it in the morning:Beach:
Jens thank you for a great meeting. Casper |
Hi,

cu next time :) Tobi |
Thank you for a great Meeting!
Hi guys out there,
just wanted to say thank you for a great Meeting! I was really surprised how many people showed up. I will let you know the dates of the 2013 Meetings soon. Stay safe - Jens:scooter: |
Enjoyed it a lot, even if we arrived too late and missed some nice presentations, but other cool ones. And it was really nice to meet some hubbers in person.
See you all in June, we'll go with two new members of the family: a little girl... and a Chinese Peaklife GPS I got yesterday. I hope there will be presentations on both travelling with children and navigation! (already started to look for volunteers for the 2nd in June!) Thanks again JENS for your time and effort. A+.:smartass: Esteban |
Hi Esteban
Hi Esteban,
i hope you have a good time. Where the pics? Recuerdos pamplonika:D (yogi) |
Quote:
You are very welcome to HUBB, nice to see you around. Be sure you will have great time here, many like-minded poeple. And you cannot miss next meeting in May-June! I had actually planned to upload the pics on motostrail "especialmente dedicado a Yogi"! And if SEB sees my pictures after his great photographyworkshop, he's going to kill me :-) -E |
aaaaargh.... ok, you have the whole winter the time to do it right! ;-)
No, seriously, no worries, I just hope you learnt something useful that you can use in your everyday life. As for next year, I will probably not make it for the may/june meeting, as I will attend the HUBB UK meeting (30/05-02/06) and it will also be my departure date for my 4 months trip to Mongolia. But the good news is that I will/should be back on time for the autumn meeting... ;-) Anyways, THX to JENS for the nice place, good atmosphere and relax environment! Esteban, again congrats, I think in the end we forgot to say this to you! Maybe the sidecar is an option? After seeing the pics from madagascar, an idea to think of........ :Beach: |
Hello Seb, thanks for the good tips it was great.
I hope you will have better weather than here in maroco. Really it will be funny to see Esteban with the side..... :clap: "MARGOT" |

great to hear everyone had a good time! :clap: Jens - as always - did a great job! |

Your presentation was top notch, we all learnt a lot. But if I had any artistic side, it fainted when I went to take some pics but had left my coat in the restaurant! It felt quite "chilly". Thanks, we "ordered" her during a motorcycle trip in South Africa, so I'm pretty optimistic about her future interests in life (apart from dolls, of course!). Quote:

If Jens (and everybody else) is willing to have me again to do some entertainment, of course! Quote:
We wanted to test if we could do a 2-up for a longer journey (the Mongolia trip next year) so we wanted to go to Morocco for 4 weeks. Well after the HU meeting we went through Switserland where we got caught up in a "snowstorm-ish" kind of thing. Hell, all was white all of a sudden and more than 15cm of snow and roads slippery etc. But we managed to get out, in France there where huge windstorm-ish kind of things happening and Kim (my wife) said that this wouldn't work out and that she had too many problems with the knees and the neck sitting behind me all the time. So test failed... just outside of Barcelona we made a U-turn and headed home. Arrived back in Antwerp last night. So, what's happening now... I will do my motorcycle trips alone (also the one to Mongolia next year) and we are trying to catch a flight to Thailand tomorrow for 3 weeks of walking/backpacking around there. Will it hurt that I won't be on 2 wheels? Of course! But then if I am allowed to go and play next year for 4 months to Mongolia by myself, need to give the misses something else in return, no...? :cool4: Something else, I wanted to make a timelapse about the moon at the meeting, but after 15 minutes I was so cold in the middle of the night that I gave up, but here are the 3 sec of footage. (this is also an example of what you can do with the remote I showed you at the meeting) (don't know why, but can't put the youtube here working...?) |

Apart from the well-deserved sunny islands :palm:and beaches :Beach:(pay your toll, man!), you may visit Chiang Mai, where there are many bike rentals and enjoy the beautiful twisty roads around! If not on this trip, can be done the next one, but now it's her turn to decide, her trip. You're still a lucky boy if she's happy if you can fulfill for dreams, even if alone. Our warmest greetings for her, no regrets, she tried it and you got very far together under inclement conditions, my missus would have taken the train in Basel (and me as well:blushing:)! PS: I'd give my (boss') right arm to be now in Thailand! Such a shitty weather here. |
Hi everyone,
It was nice meeting a lot of you in person. Special thanks to Seb for his photo workshop, I really enjoyed it and to get one of those fancy remote controls soon :thumbup1: Hope to see you all next May/June Joe |
Esteban, I still think, that despite of everything, I am lucky... as we just agreed on something!
We will fly in to Phuket, hire a 2wheel thing that we can find there, drive around for a few days to see what's there to see and then take the bus to Bangkok and probably do the same there. So, woehoe! we should be 2-up on a scooter in Thailand... :D :scooter: :D T° will be better and the fun factor will be higher on a scooter and she said herself 'hey we could hire a scooter, but I won't drive there!'. And she doesn't have to say that twice........ :clap: And yeah yeah, I will endure the beaches and stuff for her, you're right! And I am feeling really happy that you all put nice posts about the photography workshop! I am really thankfull for those comments, as it was a hush-hush job to make something of a ppt. But the next one will even be better as I will try to make good and bad pictures on this trip to show the difference. ;-) |
Thanks for the great photos estebangc, I really wish I could have been there!
