So we have copped quite a bit of flack over our choice of riding gear yesterday , and Sam's dad wants to wipe the floor with my ass, so i just need to clarify a few things.
Firstly, please do not try these stunts at home as you will surely be killed. The acts were performed on a closed course, by fully trained idiots.......and I was drunk.
We promise not to do anything silly for the rest of the trip.
Loaded up the bikes and headed straight up the Autobarn. We have decided to head for Nurburgring to see if it is possible for us to do a lap of the historic track.
At 160kmh we reached the Swiss border in no time and moved once again into eyeburning postcard scenery.
Passed Valentino Rossi headed up into the mountains to escape the Italian fans that want to lynch him for his poor performance on the weekend.
I think this was his dad following him,,,not sure.
Decided to go over the San Gottarrd pass rather than through the 20klm long tunnel. The tunnels on the bike are horrible. Full of fumes and hard to see. Buzz loves them, I hate em.
The passes are much more fun although they do take considerably longer.
Had a dodgy Bratwurst and and an agument with the dodgy seller at the top of the pass. Bastard tried to rip me off for 2 euro.
The scenery was nice though.
Then down the other side through more perfect scenery and perfect roads.
Buzz obviously arrived at this corner with no brakes. The scooters usually pass him.. Notice the wide line. Thats as tight as the etnerprise will turn.
Luckily the enterprise also has auto pilot.
Called back into Denzlingen , so Buzz could see Maureen who was to be medievaced back to Australia today and Also to see our favourite girls again.
Was very sad to say goodbye again, but we had to go. Back out onto theautobarn for more hi speed antics. All very sensibly of course.
This little fella looked so cool he didnt know what to make of us trying to get him to smile.
Passed by the Hockenheimring, but were going to fast too stop.
Nothing silly going on here. This is the autobarn afterall
We wernt going that fast anyway.
There we quite a few hazrds we had to avoid on the roads. This could have got messy if we hit any of the slippery little suckers, but fortuneatly we didnt see any. I think I may have some though.
Audi R8 anyone
At every exit on the autobarn, there are these signs. Not sure why it only applies to Aussies and I did my best to comply, although I did need to be careful after the dodgy bratwurst I had this morning.
Buzz also did his best to comply.
Apparently we were very good at it
We arrived at the Nurburgring about 15 minutes too late to do a lap and were bitterly disappaointed to learn that it may not be possible to do one tomorrow as the track has been booked for an industry day.
Went for a bit of a look around the place anyway and have booked into a hotel and will see if anything can be arranged for tomorrow.
Had a great meal in the resturant with lots of memeorabillia haging on the walls. Even been a couple of aussies here that are are in the same boat as us.
Ended up just Like Klause.
Hey bass
