I believe that there has been a slight hiccough with the forum. Some of the most recent posts have been lost.
If yours is one of them please re-enter any questions/thoughts you may have needed addressing.
A quick word on dates. Lets not rush into deciding anything until we know what dates the ring has open. If you take a look at this years dates you will be suprised how many days of the year you are not allowed to ride it. Anything worth doing is woth doing right, right?

Just had a reorganisation announced at work,so it will have to be May for me.
If the final decision is April I will likely go over on me tod.(in the May)

[mysteryjimbo]

I'd honestly prefer the May date coz the missus doesnt want me to spend our holiday money by going before hand! (2 weeks, 3rd May!)

[wigan650s]

definitely may for me it will be my last chance to have a proper crash before hanging up my helmet :(

[WildBill]

Sounds like fun. I'll be up for the trip.

Late May should also be good for me.

Cheers,

Sorry!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you :oops:
I have been pressuring the staff at the Nürburgring over the last few weeks to get some info re: dates for 2005.
The short version is that they are not going to release their 2005 calendar until February! :shock:
Looking at the general comments regarding the trip I think the last weekend in May is looking very good. However, without being able to confirm whether the ´ring is open, it would be a very risky thing to make any definite plans as yet.
As soon as I hear anything definite I will let you know.
Merry Christmas

Cheers dude.

Just voted. Late May would be perfect for me!

D. :D

[mysteryjimbo]

Glad to see late may is the choice of many so far. Phew....

There has been some urgent work carried out at a couple of the more interesting corners, They have been changing the crash area (sorry run off zones) :shock:

Apparently the ring is always closed for essential repairs at this time of year and it is normal for dates to be released February or early March

Not saying I'd definately be able to come (would need to check cash/leave from work/insurance), but say I was interested, would I still be able to join the group for this trip?

Cheers.

Ceri, I suggest you PM Wheelnut.

I am wondering how many are actually now going. The date is too early for me -work & family :(

I'm not going, the date is no good. I am on holiday with the family. I was hoping for end of May.

Hi -

First post on this forum, so sorry if I break a rule by mistake. I've only had an SV since yesterday. :)

I have been to the ring many times with a car - I'm across April 9th to 12th and then again later next month for the 24h Rennen, and will be going again later in the year. It's a bit of an addictive business...

Is this trip still going ahead? I'm quite keen on taking the SV around just once or twice to see what the track feels like on a bike so I'd be happy to try and coincide with this trip and tow a bike trailer (not sure how many bikes one can get onto them).

I know how to get there, where to stay, where to eat etc if it helps.

Chris

Looks like I won't be able to make it this time. Cheers mister taxman :roll: :)

[mysteryjimbo]

A new tax year after April!

The dates have changed from previous. Now September!
