Poll: how many people here are "Track Only"

Track only, street too dangerous for me.

 

I still ride street but have about double the track miles compared to street since last Aug thank to being introducted to STT.

 

Sport bikes on the track, Harleys on the road - mostly only on long trips. Oh yeah, the Zuma around town.

 

I barely put 500 miles on the Busa last year . Just to work and one trip to Road America to watch the pros

 

Track Only

Track Only: To dangerous and stressful on the street. Only time is to break in a new track bike. J

 

I ride both. The danger varies with where you ride and how you ride. Rideing in metropolitan traffic or trying to ride the street like a race track would seem to elevate the danger.

 

I live in NYC...



If I lived somewhere else, I would probably still ride on the street.

 

Every year that has passed, since I started going to trackdays about six years ago, I have ridden less and less on the street. Most of the street riding I do now is up to local bike night and the occasional sunday ride. Even then I encounter many dangerous situations with cars/trucks etc... I emagine very soon that I will not be riding on the street at all.

 

I still do the street. I use a 2003 Buell Firebolt and 2003 Aprilia Mille on the street.

I probably only put in 100 miles a year now on the street, almost all track for me

 

Hit the track about 2 years ago and have a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard that has barely seen the street since. I drive 86 miles each day for work. I can count how many times I have said, "If I was on my bike, I wouldn't be here right now." Sunday rides - VERY early with the wife and friends and that is about it.

 

all track! about 30 a yr/ w/ dirtbiking during weekdays

 

I'm getting to the point where I don't care to ride on the street. Last time I rode was beginning of last August for a track day. Bike is still in that condition - track ready. I'm considering make it the track bike and breaking out my 250 for the street, just to help with the cost of gas these days.

 

I live 20 Minutes from the North Ga Mountains however I gave up the street all together this year... I figure I would cut my chances by 50%... With kids and a family I think it was a good thing... Too many people going down up there every weekend....

 

Both. I've been nearly smooshed more often driving my Miata than I have on the bike. Either way I'm super careful and aware of my surroundings. Riding on the track has made me ride on the street less, for instance the 10 miles of straight road through the ghetto for a work commute isn't really that appealing on the bike, but I still love day trips out to the nicer roads. I also really love long distance riding. Have always enjoyed road trips, and it's more fun on a bike.

 

Since I started STT, I've just ridden on the street to break-in new bikes. I'm currently in the process of converting my bikes to track-only.

 

Both ways for now....I'm considering track only. The more I ride on the track, the less I want to be on the street.

 

I sold my ZX11 in 2001, and haven't looked back. The only time I street ride is to test something I've fixed as a side job, or if a friend stops by and offers me the chance to take a quick spin. My current GSXR has a street legal title, so I suppose I could rig up some lights and get a plate and insurance, but I just don't feel the need.
