Doah - brain on a go slow. Yeah, been on the ring a couple of times. Awesome if you get a clear lap on the bike, bloody dangerous if you don't. Been on a couple of Motorcycle Tours Germany - Nurburgring Mosel Rhine motorcycling holidays tours, and the ring is part of the trip.
God thats a bit da sha vu my bike look exactly the same all striped down but my has no wheels on it....this must be a scots things as i only live a few miles from you
Dont go out and check your garage mate.. haha.. I just started a 6.00 tonight, 1st time stripping the Blade so being cautious..
How mad is it on the ring ? I've always fancied it but worried its full of local nutters in 500bhp twin turbo 911's being over keen shall we say.
The ring is an interesting place. The main problem with it is there's no consistency in skill. You've got race kitted 911's, kids in Mk11 Golfs on their way home from work, tourists in hire cars and the odd florist van zooming around. Although it's officially a 1 way toll road and subject the German highway code rules, a lot of the non-German clientele don't pay too much attention to it. The 1st time I nearly got knocked off twice on the same lap. Decided 1 lap was enough for me, it was too dangerous & would never go on it again. The the tour leader we were with came off, and that validated my decision. Aside from the obvious implications, cashing on the ring is expensive. €120 for every meter of Armco you damage, €120 if you spill any fluids, €120 for recovery and €120 per 24 hour period of storage - you get the picture. The 2nd time we went there, there were hardly any cars, so I took the pressure & did a lap. It was awesome & hooked me, so I was straight back out again. You've just got to ride it like a fast road you don't know, always keeping in your mind that if there's a blind crest, the road will drop immediately away 90 degrees with a camber change. It's a wild ride that really engages you. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it, as long as you approach it with a considered amount of caution.
I was pretty sure i had posted mine up on here but i cant seem to find it in this thread. So this is how she was........ Should have an update in her new robes in a few weeks
Quite a lot if you are called Rossi. Otherwise i would imagine a steak and kidney pie would cancel them out.
Thats what I was getting at to be honest must save about 15 grams or something ! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are lighter, stonger and more resistant to corrosion than the standard spacer. Due to the additional strength minimises the flex at the fixing point of the frame.
