Apologies if this is an odd post - I'm not a biker (well, I like the ones without engines).

I'm looking to track down a bloke called Bob who I met in a campsite in Bertchesgaden, Germany in September. He was on a tour of the Balkans with his mate (Ali, Scottish, with a BMW GS something or other) and was heading back to Zebrugge. He asked me and the missus to bring back some gear he was struggling to carry in our car.... I gave him my business card and he said he would call me. I suspect he may have lost my number as I haven't heard anything.

Does anyone know him? He's from Ashbourne I think.

Bit of a stab in the dark I know, but any help would be appreciated.

I reckon the best place to try would be https://www.advrider.com/forums/ and www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/ which are the two biggest 'adventure' forums, so hopefully someone there may know of them etc.

The search for Bob can last a lifetime, but true enlightenment will be your reward.

The www.ukgser.com forum is probably worth a go too.

They're called 'Tossers' y'know.

I don't know what bike Bob had, it was Ali who had the GS (recognised it from where everyone else recognises them..... Long Way Round).

Thanks for the input so far....

Maybe fire a quick email to the big bike mags (RiDE, Bike etc) and see if they will stick a bit on their letters page?

The average age is higher than on BCF, so you'll probably find more BMW riders there... Wink
