Myself and two others are going down to the Nurburgring at the end of July for a few day's to do a few lap's of the track.  Anyone up for it is more than welcome to join us.

I would love to. But I am off racing in Anglsey in July.  :scooter :party

I dont know if you have been before. But one tip, try to do it in the week. It is going to be rammed there on the weekends in July. And that means carnage and track closures.  :surrender

Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!

It's definitely worth doing at least once.
Personally I won't go around there again on a bike. :thumb_down
I'm glad to say I've done it though.

I get too carried away treating it like a short circuit but in reality it isn't.  If you treat it like a fast road it isn't a problem.

With the cars dropping fluid all over the place as well as them spinning in front of you or passing closely the risks are too high for me.  I'd love to try it in a fast car again though one day.

when we were out there a friend of mine in our group lost his leg and very nearly his life so it brings the dangers home

Pope is right there.
If you treat it like a sort of road, and perhaps go at 80% things are fine.......

But in all honestly, if you are going to go there and try to get times and push 100%, like I did, it can go tits up REALLY quickly!!!!

I would love to do it again on a bike..... But after past experience, through no fault of my own, I think I would have to take a bit more of a  :chill_pill pill.

I know its a bit mad on the Ring but we think its just one of them things to cross off your to do list.  Just going to get out on it but ain't going to go at it like a banshee.
