Yep Assen sounds good, hopefully doing Catalunya before it as well, just need to get that past the OC domestic as well.

Assen is not really my thing, so I'll probably pass on this one. Sorry guys, having lived in The Netherlands for almost 4 years, I couldn't wait to get out and have no desire to return in the immediate future, not even for a weekend in Assen.
Any other sggestions then for a w/end in Germany or thereabouts?

Trev,
I'm relatively open. As I posted some time ago, since we're all rather spread out, somewhere in the middle wouldn't be a bad idea. If we're looking at a whole weekend (i.e. including an overnighter), then I guess that we're all a bit more flexible (I certainly am, anyway).
With overnight stops, we could even rotate the location a bit - a weekend in Sachsen, a weekend in Schwarzwald etc...
Shall one of us set up a poll with the preferred duration/location and see what the others say? I'm quite happy to organise something if a few people want to visit a specific area and require accomodation (care of one of the "Tourenfahrer" biker-friendly accomodation guides, that I've found to be very reliable in the past).
Schöne Grüße aus Bühl

Colditz is rapidly becoming a well visited site for bike riders - many motorcycle mags (including "Bike", if my memory serves me correct) have documented tours there. I visited some years ago and would happily go again.
Trev - I know it's not much of a ride out for you, but if there's enough interest, we could visit the "museum" and have a ride out through the countryside from there - what do you reckon?
When would you be considering in doing this ride/weekend out. Colditz sounds good to me, although I reckon that a good gps would be handy as I've heard that its a nightmare to get out of the place!!!!!

June 30th would be Assen - what about keeping that dat efor those who want to go to the GP and then maybe doing a May w/end at Colditz?
The official hols for May are 01/17/28 - any takers?
How does the 1st UKGSers Germany Colditz Meet sound?

You can count me in for Colditz in May. I'm sure I can get a pass from SWMBO for one of the weekends.

Whoops, forgot to say that I also started a poll (here: http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93616) to try and find out where else the German GSers would like to ride out.
Won't have the bike over here til April.
I voted for south west, well I would.
some pretty good places to go around Lux.

More than 20 km/h over the limit means points in Flensburg. More than 30 km/h in an urban zone can mean driving licence withheld for 1 month. Is the quoted 95km/h before or after the 10% reduction, and was the 60 km/h limit in town, or one of those frequent temporary limits in an Autobahn roadworks? If on the Autobahn, you shouldn't have to lend your licence out....

One of those - so do I get worrying or not Dave?
Not unless you already have a large collection of points already in Flensburg.
By my reckoning, it'll be a EUR 75 fine, with up to 3 points. The number of points depends largely on the Bundesland - I don't have any experience with Hessen (Thankfully!), so can't comment in this case.
