Just to show you what I've been upto this weekend :) Our club (BMW GS Club) had a meeting on the Eurocircuit in Valkenswaard (Netherlands) and it was a blast.

How to pick up a motorcycle without injuring yourself :D

Ofcourse there were the cracks/experienced riders

Best foto I shot that day I think, but it's not a BMW. Basic rule was only clubmembers, but partners with other brands welcome too, so there was a Honda and a Suzuki too :)

Everyone enjoyed it to the max and we're looking forward to next year.

Man, this just looks SO much fun!! My poor baby is 100% road use only, so I miss this sort of thing from when I was a young'un.... The first pic imo is the best - not only coz it looks like the perfect pic for a caption comp, but also coz it assumes that after coming OFF the bike you're still ok enough to get it back on it's wheels.... winces with memories (",) btw, the girl shure looks pretty ;-)

Mud Mud Glorious Mud........ some good actions shots here :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

There were babes... and they were wrestling.. with their machines to keep them from from falling over :).. but so were the guys. @reborne: mostly when you take a spill on a track like this you're not hurt, or at least not bad :) Heck I already benefited from the lifting technique once. I read on the clubpages how to do it and had to apply it when I had to put the bike on it's side when I forgot to take off my disk brake lock (ahum). When you know how it's easy to pick up this 250kg bike (550lbs).

Looks like fun. I really used to enjoy riding my mountain bike on muddy trails.

Wasn't all that cold (about 7c, 44F), you get hot enough going around the track :) It's alot of work.

:] for me that's cold!!... i guess those layers would be good too for cushion & road rash resistance... that would be me too :P on the ground

Yeah, we learned this in basic bike training too (even though I'd had bikes from 15-18 over here you still have to take a 'basics' course before you go for a full licence..) You're right about it making life easy... I found out it worked when I did the 'slow motion sideways fall' move by stalling it on a hill start.... (I now ride an imported Yammy 400 - Japanese import means lower bike - perfect for a shorty like me, means I don't suffer the 'crushed b@lls' syndrome that comes with a bigger bike while straining to reach the ground) (",)
