Hi guys,
few days ago I've returned from my 6th visit of legendary winter meeting Elefantentreffen. I left my Vara at home just to avoid riding on that mega-salty roads, and I took my Honda Lead scooter. Here's short video:

BTW it was the easiest Elefant of all I've visited. Nice sunny weather, temperature above zero, sometimes even above two digits!
Enjoy,

special atmosphere as usual ;) not to difficult with the Lead ?
-
Nope, it is quite easy with Lead, as we rode through countryside, where I'd have to shift much on my Vara. The only disadvantage is maximum speed, which is 80 km/h :) Guys with me were little bored on their Husqvarna 650 Terra and BMuu 650 GS.

Nice to see. :)
Sad the final part. The five Slovakian biker who passed away :( ... man and woman with same surname, then two male names again with same surname... :( accidents?
Luckily you were back harmless.
Regards,
Josep

Josep, that was horribly sad. The first two had an accident on a motorbike, died immediately. The third one was a policeman on a motorbike, who had an accident when rushing to where the first accident happened...
The remaining two were brothers (age 9 and 6), who drowned in Danube river. First one accidently fell into water, the second one jumped to help him... They loved motorbikes.
Each year I wish we have nobody to put on the list. Instead, that list is getting longer and longer...

Don't know what to say; especially about the two little brothers. Pilgrimage still going strong then.
Enjoy it while you can.

Hah, Manos, thanks! To make it exact - I travelled to Faro in Portugal and back, 8000 km. This was my third Elefant on Lead, the rest was on my Vara.
Take care my Greek friend!
