Still not seen your sub 8 min lap though... Only your mates, which was good.

I'm not s*** stirring here, genuinely interested.

I only gopro'd the second day and never managed it due to traffic so only have 1 lap following nurburgring biker (8.18) and 1 lap of following the mclarens (cruised some of it)

Let me know if you go over there anytime after July and I'll go same day. You can see for yourself, I'll get Joe over again and with a bit more practice we might get a little quicker still. Pm me and I'll plan the next one with you.

All the local roads (and further afield) are very well surfaced and excellently signposted. The B500 through the black forest is an awesome road.

We did this one and yes!! Amazing!! We were all talking about it that night. It just flows so well on the bikes and the tarmac is perfect

I'm already missing it having got back on Essex so so roads

Great videos and pictures Birky, thanks for sharing, as someone else said, some people get the 'Ring others never will, I love the place, have been many times in cars but never on a bike. You are certainly quick and once you know the track a bit better i'm sure you will be even faster.

Exactly my thoughts and thank you. I definitely 'got it' and already planning another later in the year. I'll photo and video more next time & I've bought a decent 32gb memory card as the 8gb I had ran out very quickly

Check out from 20min30secs you can see Joes rolling burnout at the end of the lap...

I understand rule No.1 at the Ring if it's not on YouTube it didn't happen, but I would 100% vouch that Birky 41 did a low 8, the group he was with were the fastest group of newbies I've ever been out on the Nurburgring with, and I've done 111 laps this year! Check out my blog...

Billy the rolling burn out was me 😉 check out the end of my mclaren upload you'll see me do it

Damn I look such a melt when he sticks the camera on me haha

We are planning another in July August and I'll try do a few days mid week this time. Give my bike a go and convince the wife. You know the vee four makes sense

Oh st Dean! Sorry Helen thought it was Joe! Lol, Don't I always think the same when I get caught on camera which is weird because I'm fine when it's my own stuff. I will probably already have a V4 1100 by then 😊 It'll be the first Gen model with 167bhp but that should help me smash the 8 minute lap plus I just love the sound of them!!! Plus I'll hold you to that Beer in the Crown English bar in Adenau! 😊 🍻 🏍

Just watched that lap, fair play! That's bloody fast!!

Bad news at the ring :-(
He was a good guy and very hospitable. Only just heard through a friend who came back today.
