Will be going to Elephant Rally this January. Its a pretty epic 3000+ bike rally in south Germany close to the Czech border. It can get down to -15c at night, and its over 700 miles of winter riding so not for the faint.
Although I expect the vast majority of vistors will be German, I have heard that the event draws riders from all over Europe many speaking English.
The main website is in German but there is a small writeup below.

There is also another write-up here by a chap who took a honda grom. So before you complain that your bike is unsuitable have a read.

I wanted to do this at one point but I am lead to believe it is now swarming with "eXtreme" thrill seekers who have spent their way there to tick it off their bucket list. Being loud and obnoxious as they do so rather than the diverse collection of oddball motorcyclists it once was. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

Sorry , been busy .
I loved it , It snowed and it was bloody cold but that's why we went .
Sadly we only did one night as we left Friday , night ferry from Harwich to the hook , night there , long way sight seeing back to the over night ferry , I'd just do the tunnel this time .
I took my er5 , fitted crash bars , heated grips with muffs .
Made some panniers , looked a bit of a mess but all added to it .
I did fall off twice in the snow but it was low speed and very funny .
I defo up for it again , more the merrier . |
