Cheers Mr Kwacky

Nicely put, Mr Blade.

The RIng holds no interest for me but I can see why it does for so many.

I dont understand how a "public road " can have new owners I guess it's a toll road the same as the M6 Toll. That's always been my understanding also. Personally I would like to ride or drive it at some point as it's a hugely challenging and famous ribbon of tarmac. D6nutz comments on the...

Liking the look of that, I would love to be able to do a project bike at some point..

I have to say, that bikes in pretty good nick considering it's been sat outside for that long..

I probably would give it a go but thats coz Im young and stupid, and tbh I would be more likely to if they ran Cars and Bikes separate, dont like the idea of being cut up by a load of 911s while I wobble my way round

We went to ride the circuit when over there touring a few years back, but 2up didn't seem the most sensible idea.

Didn't the previous owners go bust ?

My ethos is if it aint broke don't fix it

I don't care if it's a public road or a track it's the lack of run off and the Armco barriers that put me off.

I agree, I don't see how it is a public road.

Its a public road but UK insurance cover wont be valid whilst you are riding it and if you hit a barrier or spill oil, its all repaired at your cost.

I have no desire to ride it and as D6Nutz points out, many are chasing times on there.

Not really bothered TBH as i know i wont ever be riding it. :D ^^^ this. I've had the chance to go more than once, but it's one place I don't want to ride. The tarmac is in worse condition than most UK roads and it's full of twats who want a 9 min lap at any cost... I don't want to be part of that ...

German highway law is outside my field of expertise.

It's a hard one. The ring is massive and it is a public road (I think). It's always had cars and bikes running together without too many issues. I can understand both arguments but it's one of the few places where you can put a bike against a car and race them for real.

Probably a good idea IMO. I wouldn't want cars on a uk track day with me so same theory would apply at the Nurburgring.
