Laverda Legends again? Ride Nürburgring 2027

[v2ventiler]

As the year is rushing towards its end — although there is still plenty of sunshine waiting for us at Oschersleben next week — I’m already wondering whether it would be a good idea to organize a Laverda Legends Revival next year.

The Nürburgring will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2027, and the organizers of the Kölner Kurs have some track time available next year on 16 and 17 May, which is Pentecost Sunday and Monday.

I would have to start planning and organizing everything in about two weeks, so before I do that, I’d like to get an idea of how much interest there is among the participants.

So please just leave a comment in this thread and let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Michael

Hallo Michael,
da wäre ich dabei.

Vielen Dank auch für das Telefonat vor kurzem.
Vor lauter "Quatschen " habe ich mich gar nicht für die tolle Organisation am Ring bedankt.
Herzlichen Dank bitte auch unbedingt an Susanne, bei der ich den Eindruck hatte, sie war Tag und Nacht im Dauereinsatz. Du hattest dafür im Vorfeld die Arbeit der Orga.

Der Tankdeckel ist nicht vergessen. Kommt auch bei passender Gelegenheit.

Grüße
Wilfried

Hi Michael, the event in 2026 was great! For me it can become a yearly event .
I have ask the Dutch Orange Army if the are interested. 7 already reacted positive, I think more will follow.

Only 5 pilots interested ?
Really ?

It is time to help Michael, so as to get an idea regarding participation in 2027.

Cheers

Maybe the thread title isn't making it clear that this is an opportunity to ride your bike at Nürburgring next May?

I've amended it - hope that's OK @v2ventiler

Unfortunately, I already have other plans. Can't be in 2 places at once... yet.

Those dates are currently open, would plenty of advance notice that it's really happening to get myself to UK and then myself and bike from UK to the event.
Reality check - would not be circulating at GP speeds on that old tourer where combined age of bike and rider is now well in excess of 120!
Count me in for now please.

Hallo Michael, re the overwhelming experience from August I'd like to be part of it again in 2027. May 16/17 would be fine for me.
Lets get the little Harris piglett up and running again.

A couple of questions please:
What is required of the bike? Track prepared, safety wired, oil catch pan, etc? Is there a technical inspection?
What is required of the rider and clothing? Race leathers etc or street riding gear?

 

[sfcpiet]

Quite a few street bikes there this year, didn't really see anything wired on those. Catch pan not required but a catch can for breathers is. Probably helps if tyres actually hold air and no oil puddles underneath...

Tech inspection of my bikes took about 3 minutes each, a clean presentation probably inspires confidence. Tatty old dogs will certainly gain more attention.

Leather clothing, preferably one-piece leathers, gloves, boots and a helmet complying to current standard. A little track experience is helpful, if only for fellow riders.

While only being demo runs, the event is held within a proper race meeting, the last one would want is that hobby "racers" ruin track conditions for those fighting for championship points.
