Nordschleife! | Honda CB 500 | RAW Onboard

So I finally had the opporturnity to ride this holy track in real life.
I know this track by heart from the countless hours I put into it in Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo, rFactor and iRacing and I felt at home right away.
There are only two major differences between the virtual version and real life: you have so much more space in real life and the drops at Pflanzgarten and Sprunghügel are so steep! It really goes down there. Damn.
But I was constantly worried about two things:
- some maniac rear ending me
- suddenly slipping off because of oil on the track.
The first thing wasn't so bad, I just kept looking in my mirrors. But the second one was the thing I was really afraid of. Luckily the track was clean, but it definitely reduced the fun I had around the track and kept me from giving more than 90%.
Opening the track for the pulic is awesome, but you just never know who drove before you and with which vehicle. There are so many videos on RUclips about people losing control without fault just because some idiot lost oil.
I highly recommend going to the Nordschleife to experience it on your own, but either do it with a bike/car you brought on a trailer (so you have a ride home when you crash) or simply rent a car there (no, not from Sixt, you can rent a BMW E36 right at the track).

[@anviltheblacksmith2504]

Im glad the videos are comming back!

[@rideroundandstuff]

Thanks! Only the sound is a bit shit in the ones to come. But I hope it will get better again with the next recordings.

[@joansalvador4737]

Really love it, man! What a wonderful bike, i´d got the same at late 90´s. What a memories! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@Kannnichtgibtsnicht]

Sehr sehr geil! Ich selbst fahre, cb500, xs400 und ne 600er bandit. Die älteren Maschinen sind die geilen 😎😉
Vielleicht trifft man sich ja mal dort

[@rideroundandstuff]

Wohl leider nicht, wohn fast 1000km weg davon, bin da nur dran vorbei und hab die Gelegenheit genützt ;-)

[@alexanderh.5703]

Schön gefahren! Besitze auch eine CB500 (PC32) und kann es kaum abwarten das Schätzchen irgendwann mal mit auf die Strecke zu nehmen. Ich seh mich jetzt aber schon in der selben Situation wie dich hier: Langsamer durch kurven fahren als nötig, Blinker anlassen, sowas halt xD

[@rideroundandstuff]

Naja, wirklich pushen sollte man halt echt nicht, wenn man direkt mit dem Motorrad dort ist und nicht um die Ecke wohnt. Weil man kann leider echt nicht wissen, ob irgendein Idiot vor einem wo Öl liegen gelassen hat.
Das trübt den Spaß leider enorm.

[@fuminnas]

very nice mate, I wonder if you have a time for the tour, please.

[@Mythansar]

Very nice bike and amazing riding my friend! Keep doing it and ride safe! :)

[@rideroundandstuff]

[@176glinden9]

Zu viel Respekt

[@rideroundandstuff]

Stimmt leider, man kann bei den Touristenfahrten aber leider nicht wissen, ob da nicht jemand Öl verloren hat.
Das nächste mal mitm Auto.

[@176glinden9]

@@rideroundandstuff das ist wohl wahr, das hasste beim Rennen auch nicht.
Aber trotzdem gut gefahren.
Und immer eine Hand breit sprit im Tank.
LG

[@dailyallowance3826]

Was it wet ,yhats a good raso to go slower or walk home

[@PimentaDaNeyde]

Hey, welchen Endtopf hast du verbaut? Ist das Original? :O

[@rideroundandstuff]

Das ist der originale, ja. Das er im Video so bassig klingt, liegt am Mikro.

[@theschurrll]

Griazzi, darf ma dort einfach so fahrn?

[@rideroundandstuff]

Ja, eine Runde kostet glaub ich 20 Euro. Die einzige Voraussetzung ist, dass dein Fahrzeug Straßenzulassung hat.

[@michaeltohang5176]

Fährt die nur 130 kmh meine fährt 180kmh

[@rideroundandstuff]

Bin eh da und dort 160 gefahren. Die meisten wirklichen Geraden der Nordschleife gehen relativ bergauf, auch wenn man es nicht sieht.

[@andreaperdon9054]

Verissimo

[@SquidgyPickle]

How does your bike kill fascists?

[@rideroundandstuff]

very good question
the only real way I see is that I become a fascist and kill myself in an accident

[@flyingdutchy01]

2:20 2:33 ofcourse you go slower. its a damp track, you've never been there in real life. stop making those stupid excuses in the text.

[@rideroundandstuff]

What are you on about? The track was dry. I went slower beccause I was worried about crashing because a lot of people do in that corner. It says so in the text - there's no "stupid excuse".
