just wondering aloud here if we couldn't hit the factory for a visit, ride some bikes and be looked after a bit?

some of you may know that i've hit austria twice in the last coupla months skiing and i've put together some bloody cheap holidays.

for example. using ryanair or easyjet you can get into austria for 99p plus £14 each way tax. £29 which is $45-50. stansted, from where ryanair fly is about an hour from gatwick or heathrow and the coaches that connect them are every hour for £5 ($7-8). the cost of accomodation would be quite low especially if some kind of chalet was booked. pension rooms run at around 15-25 euros or £15.

all we need is the factory to look after us now.....

if you didn't know, KTM have a big knees up every year with hog roasts, partying, supermoto and enduro as well as displays etc.
any of you septics get yourself a quote to heathrow or into austria itself?

good time of year? how about late jan and feb before the season starts and after the snow has melted. or in november early december after the season has finished, all the new models are out and before the snow in mid december.

Providing KTM / Husaberg is up to such an event I for one am in consideration.

That is a fantastic idea. I would be greatly interested, if such an occassion did occur.
 
someone give me a factory e-mail address again and i'll start to look into it. all i'll do is find out some prices and if we'd be welcome and when.

schwim, if we do get it together, you're coming whether you like it or not!

and we'll all make sure we look after ya!

what's the old saying. BUMP!

this is from the factory today

the e-mail says that we're welcome anytime of the year but there is no production in august. we can go around the factory and see machine production and engine production. we are also welcome to test the newest models. they can take care of hospitality if required.

they suggested what sounds like two awesome trail rides at the beginning of september. 400km in three days on their machines. not cheap and maybe dale, you do or don't ride out much your self?


here it is;



Exclusive for Husaberg Riders
Husaberg Force Ride

Apennin/ITALY (near Milano) 02.09. – 05.09.2004 / 09.09. – 12.09.2004




The Apennin, over 400 km amazing enduro trails in the area round the Passo Brallo near Salice Terme are waiting for you and your Husaberg!
Those various tours can’t be outgun for their diversity: ruff trails with bumps and chuckholes, single-trails, steep ups and downs in gravel pits, challenging river crossings, whimsical slope, traversings and so on.

A four days dream for every demanding “enduristâ€Â
 
That sounds stupendous! I am definitely interested. I would also like to visit the barn and original factory were Husaberg was birthed. It will be like a pilgrimage for me. My version of Mecca! Thanks for doing the research, TAffy.
 
Hi Taffy,
Great job!

As for me:
I personally am not up for the Holiday aspect. In light of this I believe a better investment on my end will be a visit to BMG this year.

Best Regards,
Dale

Ps
Take lot's of pictures. :D
 
just to let you all know that you can visit salzburg in say september for just £1 each way. yes i did say £1 each way. the airport tax is £14 each way making a total of £30 for flights. this would be thursday to tuesday for instance.

the train from salzburg to mattinghofen will be about £10 return based on what i paid for salzburg - zell am see.

now every year i try to do the german oktoberfest in munich/munchen and it's fantastic fun.

so if anyone is interested we could do the factory from the airport, back through to munich (about 6 hours £25 return fair) two nights at the beer festival. do anything ya want during the day, trip to dachua for a laugh!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

you could do all this and have change out of £200 for chrissakes!!! the hotel i use in munich charge a reasonable rate and the rooms we use are 6 men to a room in single beds. the **** channel is extra ok?

oktoberfest is from 18th september to 3rd oktober-i mean october!!!!

so, it doesn't have to be september but what about it?

you yanks, if you come over, you can get a coach for about £6-8 from either gatwick or heathrow to stansted and if you get here too soon i'd put you up for a day etc.

what about it, 6 of you? £200
