Title: Elefantentreffen/Taurentreffen 2011 part 1
Post by: chairhead on February 03, 2011, 07:19:13 PM
Maybe some of read of my problems in the thread Help!!!!!??,
here are a few photos of my trip to Germany and Austria report to which part of it belongs,

Sunday saw me leave for these two rally's,
and about 20 mins later return on only two cylinders,to cut a long story short i changed the plugs with new hoping it would cure all,alas it did'nt,
so monday morning dawned i went to the local Triumph dealer,suffice to say a coil pack had gone tits up and a spare was taken from a showroom bike,i popped back home and put the rest of the bike back together,ran upstairs and booked another ferry(missed the original one)that done i once again was on route to the ferry in Dover,i got there in good time with no issues,indeed the rest of the onward trip was trouble free.


from the Autobahn to the elefant site took a record 4 hours,in the end the snow chain came out,the Heidenau k60 catspaw was useless front and rear,you can see here that the light is fading,visability was very poor,and it was on the cool side :lol:

Here is a view from where our tents were pitched,we got there early so very few tents were up at this point,usually all you can see from this point is smoke and tents :D it really is like a refugee camp :lol:

The last one is a fire extinguisher stove,very cool i thought.

Our group stayed here until Thursday morning and then left for the Taurentreffen in Austria.
