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.

I know your testing adventure bikes so this is a bit of a wild card choice but have you considered testing riding a s1000r ? Would be very interested to here your opinion as it's getting rave reviews and the active suspension I believe ...

What about a BMW GS, Ducati Mulistrada or KTM Adventurer ? All good quick bikes with out being warp speed enabled and good two up.

The Wheel in Worfield stopped accepting bikes on the regular Wednesday night due to the locals complaining of the noise etc which wasnt an issue as the Swancote soon cottoned on and ran the gauntlet doing the Wednesday meet which turned out to ...

Fair enough.

Well if he's the pilot then it's his licence.

In all seriousness you'll be hard pushed to find a better two up tourer in that range. There are bigger bikes or more tourer based bikes but all of them do silly speeds.
