So here is something way over par like The Snake or Mulhunand Drive videos before they banned the parking spot the camera people used, this is dumbest I have ever seen. Jaw-dropping insanity.Its a bit tame at the start and gets progressively INSANE

Blimey. I thought a lap of N?rburgring might be fun. But after seeing that, I think I'll cross it off my bucket list. Too many idiots driving at (or beyond) the limit in cars who are more than capable of mowing you down. Also looks like the road surface could be compromised, with multiple bikes going down in the same spot. I doubt there would be anyone going around mopping up oil spills.
 
Hi Cam.

I've been around the 'ring on my Jota. It was a great day, but at times, sphincter-wrecking scary.

It is quite hard being a mid-speed machine. At the same time you are trying to overtake a coach full of tourists, some wide-eyed, last-gasp hero in a stripped out quick Porsche is trying to overtake you.

The speed differentials are immense, as is the ineptitude (enthusiasm) of some drivers.

Marmalade sandwich > the orange bit it the middle felt a bit squashed sometimes  :)
 
Cams and Paul's post get to the point! I also went there for years and did my rounds, but never on weekends. There are really
a lot of idiots among the car drivers who don't have the faintest idea what space a motorcyclist needs, what his field of vision is, etc.

And yes, there're lots of fluids around on the ground - makes it even more scary if it turns to be wet ...
 
That corner was so slippery it was almost unrideable for half those bikes coming through! And that was BEFORE it rained!

It was bad enough going public gokarting, with idiots centre punching you because they took a beeline for you on completely the wrong line as you take the correct line ... thinking they could get past you. If you managed to avoid them they'd basically run straight through the corners! And those things topped out at about 75kph!

I'd ride the Ring but would be super wary of who was around me (don't fancy sharing with cars! and what the surface was like. Track days are fun as long as riders know the rules.
 
That is simply incredible! The ingenuity and workmanship of some 'amateur' people astound me. What a cracker that theres basically an SFC motor under all that fakery!!

SF motor "to full SFC spec" whatever that means, but I doubt it has the crankshaft. Massive job he did, even a fake outrigger clutch.

Std crank worked and lightened by Keith Nairn, Carillos etc, IIRTAC ... if I read the article correctly  :D . Might have been about another bike ... memory cluttered with stuff.
