I stroll through my neighborhood and this time I do particularly like - to just two wheels. Between my legs and grumbles mumbles the 1100 V2 engine of my bikes - inside a big, comfortable chair with a whole herd of horses. I zuckele leisurely through the valley Elmstein to slowly pull me out of homes red sand stone over, then the delightful Speyerbach with its meanders in flowery meadows, then forest with tall trees. It smells gorgeous on the resin, just as if the good Lord a perfume of pine, Douglas fir and spruce creates and then poured over the Palatinate Forest. It is warm, the sky is blue as ink. From time to me is another Mopped brand "Japanese yogurt cup with as many cylinders and as many horses," contrary to or outdated grouching with me screaming engine. When they approach the screaming engines of a higher frequency than when they move away from me. Doppler effect as from the physics book.
Who knows the Elmstein valley knows that this is not without its dangers. The valley is beautiful, but windy and at times quite confusing. He that roars by on a motorcycle, lives even dangerous when he has mastered his machine perfectly. You never know what lies around the next curve or stands and brings to the falling down: a handful of pine cones, perhaps, has sent a particularly potent type in the wide world to establish new forests, or a few lumps of earth, from the followers of a stretcher like a piece of tree trunk, gekullert of one of the many timber trucks or just a Mopped with a breakdown. And then is good advice. Therefore, the district administration has decided years ago to block that route during the motorcycle season at the weekend for motorcyclists to avoid greater harm. Especially on weekends, namely earlier traveled from far away, the curve with the tourist season to mark and then in the valley Elmstein really let the pig out. Many dead and many more injured at that time it has given. Mitlerweile this limitation is rumored to be even throughout the year. I suspect a connection with global warming: If the winters are always mild, always report less curve Fetish most from their plane in this time of year. So you have to lock in the winter.
Until now I did not care. Me at the weekend in Motorradpulks through narrow winding curves is not mine anyway, so I would certainly not pass without blocking the track on weekends to Elmstein valley. Meanwhile, for me, however, changed the situation. In an internet forum I found quite by chance my old school friend Andrew, I had completely lost sight of. And as luck would have it, Andrew lives in the secluded Speyerbrunn, very near the source stream of Speyer. Speyer and the stream rises, as everyone knows Palatinate, in this very valley that I must not pass through the weekend.
"No problem!" the interested reader might now say "Then take it during the week your Mopped, and on weekends the car if you want to pay your friend a visit."
"Even yet a problem." I would respond in such a case. I belonged for over twenty years to those stubborn car objectors who seek their lives largely set up so that they do not need a car. I stay in the city where I work, spend the night with my choice of shops and apartments on adequate access to public transport within walking distance. And if it does not even walk, I'll take bicycle, taxi, train or even for several years the motorcycle. All in all this is much cheaper than the maintenance of a car and there is plenty of money left over for more fun things than looking for a parking lot. And a good conscience about global warming have been well.
A friendly policeman on the Neustadter police station told me that I could request a special event permit from the county government Bad Dürkheim. What he has not told me is that this special permit will cost 140 euros. It gave me an acquaintance with a motorcycle and weekend house insurance in the Valley believe. So probably not have as many motorcyclists such a dispensation. I of course not.
It is indeed still public transport to travel to visit my friend Andrew at the weekend. The timetable of the German railway then gives me clarity about the state of public transport in the Palatinate Forest: either I'm going at night from 1.15 clock with a call taxi, this takes about half an hour. Or I suppose a link clock at 8:32, which leads me in a zigzag course on high adventure Speyer and John Cross (two hours driving time, two times change, only on Wednesdays and Sundays). To 13.32 clock would be still a way to use the space-consuming detour route, as I am but even three hours on the road (also only on Wednesdays and Sundays).
So I had I is not presented. I'm going to ask a taxi driver once, which is the regular fare of an ordinary day for home visits on weekends. I am afraid that I need the money, which would cost me, then one or two weekend visits to Speyerbrunn can easily pay the exemption, and several tanks of fuel for's bike.
