It is really more of a school. They have both classroom instruction and some laps where you are followed/led by instructors.

At that's what it looked like when I saw it, haven't been through it yet myself :)

Is yours actually rated to tow? My newer model isn't (at least I don't think it is) so I'm afraid to even try :ohdear:

I do so want to do track days :ohdear:

I don't believe MAM has any conveniently located electrical since most guys have always had generators from what I've seen (and I've never seen an outlet in the 'paddock' area)

Maybe you should have bought a new superbike so you could get a canopy/chairs/tire warmers/etc :smug:

This could of been you



Except it wasn't haha :)

It could have been me too, if I had the necessary equipment :(

Was that you who rolled up on the red CBR600? What equipment are you lacking? You don't need to go all fancy and have a track bike, stands, tire warmers, trailer, etc... your bike will be fine with very minimal prep you can do at the track, and you can probably get pants that attach to your jacket that would be legal. Hell, there was a dude who rolled in on a ZX14 complete with hardbags. He took those off, taped his poo poo, and was ready to go. He rode with us in the novice group (and passed me once :() and did pretty drat well. If that's not a testament to being able to track a bike without some elaborate setup I don't know what is.

It was the orange one parked near the Duke/spotty CBR1000RR later in the day.

I had just put on the sliders/engine covers finally that morning actually :shobon: I kind of want a trailer still just so I can get my bike home should something bad happen, or if I'm just tired :ohdear: I should have such facilities available later this year (too late for this season, but ready for next). Plus then I could go to Hastings and such.

The only thing I really need is a different getup since I don't have a 360* zipper. I've been needing new pants/jacket anyway since my current stuff doesn't really fit properly anymore so I've been thinking of getting a 2 piece so I could use it for that and my regular street riding. I guess I could try having them order something in and guestimate my sizing.

Doesn't it have a damper?

Maybe the factory HESD unit just doesn't work very well for that :ohdear:

Maybe get one of these, though it might be cheaper/easier to get another bike
