Jumbo-run in Zepernick, Berlin-Buch, organized from parents of children of the school for body invalids, BVDM (Biker of the Federal-association of motorcyclists) and 'Free Biker' from Zepernick
The story:
The GEV (parents’ organisation) of the Berlin-Buch School for disabled children, together with the BVDM regional -office Ostwestfalen, and ‘Free Biker’ from Zepernick has organised our motorcycle meeting since 1977.
Our schoolchildren, their siblings and parents meet every year with side-car-drivers from all over Germany in the beautiful community Zepernick (near Bernau/Berlin). The motorcyclists arrive on Friday afternoon and put up their tents on the playing field, almost in the middle of the community, but in a protected situation. A pension within walking distance is also available. The groundkeeper of the playing field provides beverages and food. Toilets and wash facilities are available.The prices for drinks and food are kept very modest by the groundkeeper. We also gave up the idea of paying a fee for the motorcyclists. Even a barrel of lemonade and beer is sponsored by the company “RTB”.
With lovely sunshine, the children drive in Side-cars, and several Solo-machines (Chopper, Cruiser or Tourer and also Trikes), into a site in the country of Brandenburg, The distance will be approximately 40 km. For example „Wildpark Schorfheide“, in Groß Schönebeck, The Zoo in Eberswalde, Rider-yard „Insel“ in Marienwerder, Rider-yard in Wandlitz. Approximately 30 private cars and minibuses follow this parade, because there are not enough bikes for all the children. But by swapping, every child is able to take a ride on a bike. The entire route is safeguarded by the Motorbike Police. Part of the parade is also an ambulance with two paramedics, sponsored by the company “Falk Naundorf”.After a snack from the “Goulaschkanone” and a tour through the park, we have Country music with “Mike Mountain”. After that we go back to Zepernick. More surprises will wait for our children like a W50 “Tanklöschfahrzeug” of the local fire brigade, children’s programme, prominent guests. The day is imprinted in the hearts of our children and will remain unforgettable for them. The event is completed with a big campfire. As thanks, the Bikers and the sponsors get small presents from the children.Even personal friendships have originated in some cases.
