After an early start and a 5 hour ride we made it to our guest house where we unloaded the panniers and headed straight for the Nurburgring. We had time for 1 lap of the course and it was amazing.

As soon as we’d finished we grabbed our obligatory stickers and headed back to the guest house again.

There were a number of unrestricted autobahns on the way up which was an experience in itself. Cruising along at 90mph and having a Porche fly past at twice your speed is not something you see everyday.
We are absolutely knackered now… Dave is already asleep, so its an earlyish night before we do even more exciting stuff tomorrow!
It is now “tomorrow” and I’m going to post this update after a full english breakfast in Germany.
So what was your top speed on the autobahn? You must have tried to see how fast the GSAs will go?!
The GPS showed 119 mph down the final straight for me
The GSA’s are faster than us! You should limit the max speed to 180kmh with the luggage on. Was stable as anything and still pulled like a goat when you throttle on some more at that speed.
