English Abstract
Howdy + G'day!
This is about some crazy German bikies ...
First of all, the "Motosophie e.V." Biker Cafe
is not a business, but a registered union under the German law.
We are a small bunch of old(school) bikers in our 40-and 50-somethings, having made the license in the 70s or early 80s.
During our bikers' lifetimes, we rode many different bikes - such as Yamaha RD 250, Honda CB 400four, Honda CX 500, Honda CBX 1000, Suzuki GSX1100 + GSXR 750, Suzuki DR 600 Dakar, MZ 250 (2-stroke engine), Yamaha SR 500, and many more,
and thus we had and have contacts to different biker sub-scenes, such as 1% MC's, Biker Union, small town clubs, 'free bikers', forum-bikers, BMW's, Harley Owners, a.s.o.
On our weekend tours to the seaside, we were tired of spending tour stops at gas stations (where smoking is forbidden...), having coffee from a slot machine ;-(
So, in 2006 we had the idea of opening a meeting place for bikers and friends, half ways between our hometown of Bremen, Germany, and the North Sea.
Having checked the area for a suitable weekend hangout - like a hut in the forest or some camper -
we finally found a location in Elsfleth.
We had loads of work then for 15 months, rebuilding a 40' sea container ... (see photos on the left)
As all our friends, visiting the opening in June 2008, said, "next time I bring 2 mates"..., we are now
open to any biker, regardless of bike brand or model, clothes / style, club / group.
Do as thou wilt and ride free!
In 2010, we moved to a new location a few miles up north.
And this is what we're offering to our guests:
* open from April to October (summer)
on Sat/Sun/public holidays from 11am till sunset
* drinks, such as coffee (strong!), Coke, beer ...
* homemade cake (having coffee & cake in the afternoon
is a typical German habit)
* breakfast *barbecue *sandwiches *snacks ...
* contact, networking
* typical bikertalk of
heroically survived adventures ;-)
* biker's favorite rock + blues music
* guided tours
* parties and bonfires
* bikergames, kubb (viking chess), backgammon
* literature (books and magazines on motorbiking)
* convenience: camping, WC, repair tools
As we are not commercial, visiting us is affordable to any biker.
