It's the 57th time the event is organized, and this year it's held in Thurmansbang in the Bavarian Forest.<br><br>

The Elephantentreffen is an institution, a bit like Sturgis in the USA, since it's one of these things that should be on a European biker's bucket list. The event attracts 1000's of motorcycle riders from Europe, spending a weekend camped out in the snow. Because yes, it's snowing here in Europe (or at least in Germany), and it's ice cold.

The gathering is meant to go riding, games, fun, drinking and mingle. .......... <br><br>
