Mawsley Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Every year since the dawn of biking time, I've always said to myself: "I have to go to the Elephant Rally."And yet I never go to the Elephant Rally.This changes. Next year ima going to Elefantentreffen at the Nürburgring. Anybody been? Anybody going?Chap on a Honda Grom Quote
Arwen Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I've never been, but I read that guys post a few weeks ago. Big ups to him for going on a grom! Quote
Lateralus Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Never heard of it (perhaps unsurprisingly as I'm a n00b), but that write-up was epic. No desire to go though! Quote
Gerontious Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 The rally at the ring is a modern invention... and 'luxurious' compared to the 'proper' elefant rally which is a lot further from calais.. 650 miles or thereabouts on the far side of Germany and truly in the middle of nowhere close to the Czech border.. theres some confusion in that thread.. as someone has put a video of the Bavarian elefant.. on a thread about the Eifel elefant.They couldn't be more different.as for going... I might consider it if I have an outfit. (but I do not.) and I'm not really enough of a masochist. Quote
NeilM Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Is that white stuff insulation? Only way I'd go Quote
Stu Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Is that white stuff insulation? Only way I'd go I was thinking the same Quote
Gerontious Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 It can just as easily be completely snow free... like today. Quote

Mawsley Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Wouldn't mind a Ural combo for the trip.I imagine setting fire to one of them would keep you warm for a while. Quote
