from
4th to 6th of September 1998The second meeting was extended because of the big crush with the first meeting for Friday till Sunday and excelled again the expectations of the organizers and in spite of adverse circumstances, because the weather God had this time no seeing with the Bikern. It was disturbed again by partly violent rainstorms. However, this time the organizers on 1.000 Bikes of previous year counted it more than 1.500 Intruder were counted in spite of the lousy weather.
This time our duet was supplemented with a mate of Reinhard who accompanied us with his Guzzi. This time we had chosen Friday as a day of the journey what should turn out afterwards as a mistake.
Already the start to the meeting place was delaid, because the distance lay in the close fog and also still more disgusting drizzle hindered a free sight (comes with jet-helmet quite well). Instead of planned of an hour so my running time doubled. Then with the impatiently waiting I started in direction Kassel. There we were also greeted by radiant sunshine what agreed of our mood obviously
But the next drop of bitterness came with our tank stop in the restaurant "big moorland". On filling up and a small break for a smoke my Trudi did not jump any more. She gave nothing more from herself out of one rattling. We have searched for whole 3 hours for the mistake (only we have checked all electric administrations) then to us have come to search for the mistake with the battery. Also a completely overpriced bypass cable bought and by the way Trudi jumped in... Since the cables were removed, then she was over again and did not want any more. Now you can hold me for silly, but I was in the fixed belief, I would have a maintenance-free battery. However, it wasn't so and we stated a dry cell. My two mates went to Fulda to procure a new one (naturally a maintenance-free what should turn out weeks later than big mistake, because she was never loaded correctly...), anyhow, my planned budget was already excelled by this action quite. :-(((
After we say by this breakdown and writes 5 hours we had lost the remaining distance some quick one tried to begin.
The remaining trip was probably from: rain-clothes on, rain-clothes off...
Finally, we reached castle Scherneck around 11 p.m. But not without farther delay, because Uwe had driven to itself 3 kms before the aim a 7 cm long nail in the backtire of his Guzzi. But he had luck in the accident, the nail did not get the tube, only the profile.
Also tent construction in the dark...
Reinhard wanted to get us the necessary light, unfortunately, he had overlooked with the fact that his new jet helmet hung on the indicator... After some time we took a stabbing smell of scorched sculpture was which turned out, finally, as a five-mark piece big hole in Reinhard's new helmet.
We came just still in time to be able to enjoy the midnight show (great strip) with cultivated beer of the barrel...
On Saturday he was, how already with the first meeting mentioned idyllic Campground, in order to burst filled. It were also constructed again the obligatory trader near the castle.
This time it became on Saturday already a little bit closely on the Campground mentioned at the top in the castle park.
This time the organizers let because of the unexpecting crush with the first meeting establish a big firm tent.
Also this time the best altered were awarded and were driven on the stage.
Unfortunately, our deliver on Saturday had to fall out because of the unsettled weather. (Some participants had already to depart because of wet sleeping-bags on Saturday morning again, because they had no more dry clothes).
For it there was " Mad Mac's " again.
Because we did not get this time to find big doughnuts, it was improvised instead with deep-been freezing miniature editions. It was to be looked amusing how from Bikern hamsters became, tried to steal this culinary delicacy in a corner of mouth not to must bite on it... :-)))
On Sunday morning an alarm call on the tired Biker was unleashed already traditionally. This time with a complete Bavarian brass band. The reactions were again accordingly...
In the Sunday afternoon we did to ourselves again on the drive home and reached our living place late in the evening, but not without another incident, in form of an animal thunderstorm in the Kassler mountains which would have to wash us almost down from the highway.
