A varied programme, about 70 exhibitors and a huge range of riding activities will turn the 2016 Touratech Travel Event from June 10th to 12th, into a gathering place for motorbike fans from near and far.

Last year, 15,000 visitors from all over the world found their way to the Touratech headquarters in Niedereschach, Germany.
 
Visitors can look forward to exciting presentations by renowned motorbike adventurers, impressive show trucks and the premiere of Touratech's "United People of Adventure" film documentation.
 
But there will be a lot more highlights!

The decision to change your motorcycle solicitor is never an easy one to make, but sometimes it is for the best.

There can be many reasons for wanting to change to motorcycle compensation:

your emails are never returned
your calls are never returned
they don’t seem interested in your case
they don’t seem interested in your case
you feel your solicitor is not fighting your corner
your only point of contact is their secretary
your case gets passed around
your worried why your case isn’t settled yet
you think they are only interested in their costs
you doubt their expertise, they avoid technical questions
they are taking far too long to settle your case
you never fully understand what they’re doing
you are concerned that you could be getting better advice and a better overall service
you find out that they have never ridden a motorcycle and don't understand
you get the impression that you are just another number
you feel fobbed off…

In most cases you won’t have to pay anything to your previous solicitor if you change.

I used to like the idea of being spontaneous and also did not fancy using a sat nav however once you have tried to get a room somewhere to find you cannot get one as they are full due to a local festival, over priced (Italy circa 2001, 11pm in a roadside motel style @ 175€ comes to mind) , you cannot find one (sounds strange I know but there are miles and miles of nothing in parts of Germany - well apart from excellent scenery) and to book into somewhere and find it awful, we now do as above - i.e. find a final destination and plan route around it. We use a combination of Biker Friendly accommodation on www.thebikerguide.co.uk and if there is nothing in the area we want we also look on booking.com. 

We did a trip a couple of years ago with the final destination being Colditz castle, which you can stay in. Went in July for 3 ish weeks with everything booked, set into sat nav and you know what - thank goodness as it rained everyday but one. We would set off with the next place in the sat nav - go off route when we wanted and arrive at destination stress free. We stayed at some great places, travelled fantastic roads and routes and would pass by others at the side of the road battling with a big wet soggy map to find their way.

I think once you have used a sat nav on a big trip which gets you to destinations easy, gets you out of a diversion and back on route, helps you navigate/find food and petrol, you wonder what you did before the United States military released the technology for GPS!
