    Per my girlfriend...

    Will there be a 2-up session at Barber on June 14th-15th?

    What about Road Atlanta the next weekend? I have heard that Road Atlanta isn't the track for a 2-up because it is too fast, but i promised her i would ask.

    Thanks,

    Bike question:

    I will be bring 2 bikes because i will ride my ZX6R most of the day and then ride my R1 for the 2-up session.

    Obviously both bikes will need to be teched, that isnt a problem...i have been riding my R1 on the track so it is already safety wired etc.

    But what if i want to ride my R1 during the other sessions?

    Will i get 2 different stickers, one for each bike? Or will have to swap stickers when i take a different bike out?

    Too Fast....? No track is "too fast" if you leave your brain connected to your right hand and remember that you have someones safety as your primary focus :)

    Rules vary from track to track is the primary reason.

    Agreed.

    Obviously the "track" isn't too fast...the same as no "bike" is too fast. It is the idiot with the right hand that makes them too fast. :)

    I was only relaying the information I had been given in the past. :wink:

    So what about bringing 2 bikes like i mentioned in the previous post?

    Obviously i will tech both of them, but will i get a sticker for each and swap them as i so choose?...or will i need to swap the sticker back and forth?

    Mark and Lois will make the call on a case by case (how well they know you...) basis

    Ok, understood.

    Is there a requirement for a rear seat when riding 2-up?

    An easy fix would be for her to ride on the back of the same bike i will be riding. It has track plastics, but the subframe is stock and i have the rear pegs.

    She barely weighs 100lbs and im pretty sure she could sit on it with no problems for the 10min session (not positive, can try it when i get home though).

    But would that be ok with STT?
