OH YESSSSSSS! Paging the Nurburgringisti!

I might treat the 12R to that race exhaust I have lying in the garage
waiting to be fitted.

..... And to some redline action in 5th [1]

Now that's going to be a long day for people with hangovers.

Any bets on who's going to get lost? ?1 on me.

Somewhat more than Standard ukrm Hooning Range then? This could be
interesting.

Last trip out last year I managed a gantry to gantry of around 9.4x ish,
although I don't normally time laps.
It was first thing on sunny monday morning and one of those glorious ring
moments where I passed nothing and nothing passed me.
I didn't see another car until arriving back at the barrier.

 

Have you tried bran?

 

No, but if its proven to shave seconds off of lap times I'll give anything a
go !

 

Platy's lodestone usually.

I started reading that, and thought you were going for this:

"We ride hard, we ride fast; we cruise at a minimum of 200kph and stop
every hour, only for fuel; we're deep in enemy territory, so if anyone
goes down, you're on your own - let's hope they honour the Geneva
Convention"

 

PS: If you're riding a Bandit 1200, good fucking luck. Needless to say,
I won't be.

You PFF - that's only three tanks of juice, there and back.

 

<perk>
ooo they let you take pillions

I was thinking I was just going to have to watch

 

It's not that simple tho is it. Just imagine:

Saturday morning:
DNC: "I need fuel"
ukrm: <groan>

2/3rds of the way to the 'ring:
DNC: "Err, I appear to need fuel again"
ukrm: <groan>

/collective lap/

leaving the 'ring:
DNC: "hang on a sec, I need fuel"
ukrm: <groan>

2/3rds of the way to hotel:
DNC: "hang on a sec, I need some fuel"
DNC: "guys? Guys?...hello?"


**** that. Besides, I'll have a pillion, and the B12 isn't pillion friendly.

Strap him to the back of my 10R and he can tell me where I'm going too
slow.

An even better idea. Well done.

I must remember to pack a reel of gaffa tape.

Game on. Slowest lap buys the beers?

As long as it's not pissing down I've every intention of doing at
least two laps. Can you do a flying lap or do you have to stop and pay
every time you pass go?

 

not a hope.

Especially if it catches fire in the manner it did previously...

"Either I'm very excited to be here or I'm on fire".

 

"Everywhere".

It would be funny if you were to be overtaken by, say, a van though.
