I just received the the event schedule for the International Boss Hoss 11th Meeting 2015. Like last year, the program is partly written in German and I took the liberty and summarized it for you.
As it seems that it is now official that first riders arrive as early as on Sunday 21. June 2015.
Some general remarks for those of you who haven’t heard of that meeting yet:
The International Boss Hoss Rally will take place at the the premises of the Western style theme park "Pullman City Harz" located in the Harz mountains. The rally will start on Sunday, June 21st and end on Sunday, June 28th 2015. All V8 riders are welcome, there will be also many other motorcycle brands present as the location is a famous spot for bikers but also many other spectators and tourists of the area.
The Harz is the highest mountain range in Northern Germany and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The name Harz derives from the Middle High German word Hardt or Hart (mountain forest), Latinized as Hercynia. The legendary Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with a height of 1,141.1 metres (3,744 ft) above sea level. This is where the witches supposedly meet for their annual "Walpurgisnacht"
The owner of Pullman City, Wolfgang Hagenberger, is a passionated Boss Hoss rider and does everything to make your stay a memorable experience. His entire team of very friendly staff, actors, musicians, magicians and acrobats are really killing themselves during that busy time - just to please you and the theme park audience!! So don't be shy and socialize with them. Take this event off your bucket list and attend!
Every attending V8 rider signs in at the information desk near the "Bikers ranch" to receive their complimentary welcome package! Also important: you will receive free VIP access passes to the theme park!
On Saturday there will be a special ceremony and trophies will be awarded in various disciplines to V8 riders. Again, you and your bike or trike have to be present to collect the prize. That's your chance to show off your bike by riding onto the outdoor stage!
There are various restaurants and bars open all day long where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner, so there is no real need to leave the premises. Everything is also in walking or crawling distance!! You may also ride to you favorite place but remember no more burnouts inside a bar please!! There is a special place where you can perform your burnouts in front of an applauding crowd - right on Main Street.
Whatever you see or experience at the rally; don't do this at home!
When you join one of the guided tours, please make sure that your bike's tank is fully fueled up - not you! Don't drink and ride!
