Definitely up for that, a twin room for myself and Pike ( STUPID BOY!)
I can either go in the car or van. As we are already 2 people if there are others in the West Mids who want a lift this is fine. If not, as I do not intend using the car, I will take the van and then people can throw tools, spares, tyres, beer et al in the back.
I will definitely be taking a full compliment of sarcastic comments if this is acceptable. Also, I will travel by ferry.
If you want a lift or some spares need carrying, let me know.

Harj,
Youve got mail, albeit for an event in June 2000 and not 2001!! Sorry mate, just stuck in a little time warp at this time of night. Can I go this June as well as asking to go last June? Off to the muppets maybe?
Still want to go though.
Cheers

Nope, i never think like that when driving as that means your using up mental capacity thinking about something that wont help you.
I am experienced enough to be able to face situations like that and think clearly rather than **** myself. Its nothing to do with the size of your *****, its just logic and knowledge being aplied.
Stuff like that doesnt scare me, whats the point in being scared? Then again, i am used to thinking rather than panicking, i had good training in my youth, i was flying gliders solo at 16 and you learn to control potentialy dangerous sudden occurences. I was trained by the RAF so had probably the best training posible. At the end of the day you dont really have a choice, either you think your way out of the problem or you die, thats certainly the case in a glider, concentrates the mind somewhat.
The problem with this is that it's hard to find something that is exciting, i found skydiving boring for example, maybe i need help?
LOL

Sorry Stuart, but you have to be road legal to run round the 'Ring on Public days 
95 db noise limit too, and you have to be on R rated tyres...my search for cheap R rated intermediates is on

Stuart,
Your mate won't be allowed to ride a race bike. The Nurburgring does require vehicles to be road legal because it IS a public road. All usual road rules apply. There are one way street signs everywhere and there are even speed limits in certain sections. If you get into an accident with someone else the Police will be called. Also you should remember that you are only supposed to overtake on the left.

Bugger, we are looking for somewhere to run the bike in after its engine rebuild prior to the Manx in August. (yes I know the TT has been cancelled, but no word on the Manx yet!)

I think you can MOT a bike for daylight use only and you only need a brake light. And borrow a Q plate, or any other number plate for that matter. The fines for an incorrect No plate are not high, allegedly.

Hopefully taking the RSV-R to the Ring in June . I'll have to take my standard can too, because I don't believe that the official Aprilia Titanium Race jobbie on there at the moment will pass the noise test. I'll give it a go though!

Taking a spare exhaust on a bike. Should make an interesting photo on the autoroute!!
I guess you have it's transportation arranged but if you are struggling I will be going past Coventry on the way down. Pop it in, so to speak.

sonu, why do you think i was so concerned about my tyre wear rate. I ate them.
Matt, you don't stand a chance in hell of getting that silencer past a noise test, even on tickover. That things not a silencer, its a megaphone!!! LOL

Count me in for the Jun 29 trip to the 'Ring!
I'm working out the details to turn this into a Euro vacation with my girlfriend, starting with the Ring weekend.
I've got copies of my video footage ready to send over to Stef in miniDV format. Mr. Felstead, your copies in VHS are in the works, so be patient and quit pestering poor Mr. Squire!

Hi Joel,
Pull your finger out and get on with it man!!!
I am going to use the footage to knock a little westie at the ring video together for the owners club members.
Richard told me the footage of me having my little "moment" looked rather scary when sat in the comfort of your armchair.
