i think i have actually gone insane...

a mate of mine is getting married and is having his stag party in bordeux, france to see the rugby 7's final... its in the middle of june and its gonna be expensive with flight's et al so i came up with the great idea of riding my motorbike to it VIA THE NURBERGRING AND THE ALPS :scared: and then hitting the north west of spain via the pyrennes! :wtf: i must have been :drinky:

anyway i've convinced a mate to do it and we'll be plotting the route and finding out when the nurbergring is open this weekend... i'm terrified and excited in about equal proportions at the moment so gawd knows what i'll be like when i actually get there!

its the longest scariest race track in the world and anyone can ride it for about a tenner!

stop encouraging me!!!

i'm not exactly what you'd call a quick rider so i'll just be happy to get around in one piece! anyone got any ideas on sensible times? i was thinking 12 minutes sounds ok because it would be an average speed of 75mph? it sounds doable without scaring myself too much...

Dicki,

You should try and swing over that new bridge that opens thursday in France..

Although I don't think you'll be swingin round the riviera thru millau
