Ural meeting at Piberstein Castle

 

or maybe

 

can I share my hairbrush with you 

The small Piberstein Castle, in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, was once again to be the meeting place for a small, dedicated group of motorcyclists. Almost unnoticed and overshadowed by the large Harley-Davidson gathering at the beginning of September at Lake Faak on the other side of Austria, the meeting at Piberstein Castle from last year was rescheduled. I had almost forgotten that it was even taking place, as this meeting is only organized every two years. But a visit to my garage just two weeks before the meeting brought it back to mind. So I quickly asked the garage manager, Sam, whether he was planning a trip there and whether I could join in. "Of course," was the short reply.
