Why do I always feel like I'm being scolded when I read these....

from 6 ft under....

 

ya cant tell me u dont like that big ass trailer with the computers and Air condition ... i guess im spoiled to have had them at the majority of td's ive done

 

hey I won a free track day for sunday and I was wondering if there was a post or if someone could let me know what i should bring for the day there. I read over this post so now i know a little about what i will need to have. I got new tires that have about 500miles on them and will change my oil prior to this day. I will bring food and drinks with me. Is there anything that i need to do to my bike before hand? I will be riding down there. I hope to learn a lot and have loads of fun. Thanks for your help.

You are riding your bike to the track?

 

yea thats the only way i can get it there.

 

Its not advisable and some others may chime in. If u still ride down and u are too tired to ride back I will load your bike on my truck and run you back to Huntsville. Just send me a pm. If anyone is coming from that way Sunday it would be great if they would let you hitch a ride. PM your info if you need a ride back. I might even have some Dreamland BBQ.

 

I didn't think about being to tired. That never really crossed my mind, but i have ridden my bike for about 12 hours with rest stops in between. I will deffently keep that in mind and if i find a ride ill take it, and thanks for the offer. If it comes down to it and i cant make it back ill pm you. Thanks

 

No problem you are going to have a blast.

 

I don't know about your physical condition but riding 12 hours on the street with breaks in between is not the same as riding a day at the track, even in Novice. I was pretty much exhausted after the first day and I could feel muscles I didn't even know I have.

And even if you do have the stamina to ride home, make sure your concentration level is still high enough to get you home safely.

You will be tired after riding on the track. Mentally and physically. at least make sure someone can tail you back to your home. You wouldn't want to wind up like this guy after having the best day on your motorcycle :crutch:

 

Also check the gear list as far as gloves, boots, leathers, etc.

 

Cuz' it's for what you're ABOUT to do....:jester:

 

but but you made me.... :lmao:
