Every May 1st is Labor Day in Germany and a holiday. A number years ago (legend says it started in the '70's) a small group of motorcyclists, like motorcyclists will tend to do, decided to meet at the ARAL Gas Station on Münchener Straße on Labor Day and then go on a ride to some place.
Because this event has no organizer no one can be held responsible for any problems, but it seems that there are not any problems. The Polizei are present, even Polizei from outside of Nürnberg, but only as a "gesture" and they might do a little traffic control. It's a stretch of about two Kilometers along Münchener Straße that is full of motorcycles, as well as any where else you can park a bike. One lane stays sort of open for people to ride through, make a U-Turn at some point and do it again, or park.
There was a potpourri of motorcycles to see. You can my pictures at: Nürnberg Motorradtreffen
Plus a video on You Tube (not mine). Nürnberg Motorradtreffen on You Tube
The video is pretty long, but if you watch the first few minutes you'll get the idea.
Hope you enjoy.
