BMW S1000RR around N'ring

About a 7:30min on production bike but its Jurgen Fuchs who is a bike racer.  Awesome how at about 5 mins he was going round the outside of other riders

Saw one today in Romsey on a 10 plate - did look good but I don't think Dan should buy one !

I saw one today, and it did look good, I think Dan should buy one.

Not only should Dan buy one - C'mon Dan you know you want to! - But he should also take it around the Nordschleife.

Nice that there were no cars to contend with. I really think they should have separate sessions for bikes and cars and ban the fecking buses etc!

Btw, he wasn't "going around outside" as such - The strict rule in Europe is that a slower bike/car should hug the right and allow the faster to overtake on the left. That's sometimes the outside of a corner and sometimes the inside. I didn't spot any marshalls but normally the other riders in this instance would have been blue flagged. Actually I don't recall ever seeing blue flags used on the Nordschleife, but plenty of yellows. At Spa, the flag marshalling was much more thorough.

Its a proper biker racer so he was definitely going faster than everyone else on track so there were few moments where he went round the outside of riders who probably thought they were going quickly - I've had this happen to me on a bike trackday with the instructor going round the outside of me with his knee on the deck making me feel very insignificant!
