Nurburgring Vid.

Thought I would post this here as well, some vid from gixerjunkies which also features me on my Hornet 600. My 2nd lap ever of the ring so I was quite impressed to have held the gixxers off for as long as I did. I was riding with a mate who'd not done the ring before but when I saw the 2 gixxers coming up I felt like a little play was in order. You can see me from 4:00 to 6:02 or thereabouts. Really hope I can get back there this year and get quicker!

Good stuff. You realise that you would have held them off a lot longer if
you had been riding an SV.

Don't start that again!

I saw a few SV's on track............as I flew past.

Well I actually went past a few bikes including a Blackbird, a couple of older gixxers and a...................1970's VW beetle!

Dan, you are lying again. You know that you never passed a..............................1970s Beetle.

Yeah, you're right. He had me me on the..................straights.

The most scary thing though was flying around a corner to see a coach full of OAP's!!!!!!

This is one of the guys gixers who we met. Ouch, is all I can say.

Those forks look a bit bent...

Ooh, I saw that bike on gixerjunkies, had a few pics and then that one with no explanation (in the gallery). Now I know...

Nah, it'll polish out. I don't know quite how he crashed but I just think he went a bit quick into a corner and met some Armco. Was lucky to escape with a popped shoulder and some concussion. Still, his bill for the Armco will be impressive!

Nice riding, you certainly looked quicker than the guys on the GSXRs.

Dan, I heard they make you pay for damage (fancy putting the Armco so close to the track!). Am going for the first time this year, did your insurance cover you whilst on the track or did you take our separate? Was it as scary as everyone says?
