October 2007, Summit Point, Shenandoah Circuit. 30 degrees in the morning with a high of 50. We were nuts to do our first track day in the cold temps like that. First session first bike rider out of pit lane goes down lol. It was cold but probably the one of the most fun times I've ever experienced on a motorcycle it was information overload. Have not done much street riding since and no feeling has been able to replicate the exhilaration I feel on the track.

PocoNO East about 6 years ago with a 1000. Went with a few people from this site. Did a few other days the next year, and never looked back. Sold the 1K last season and bought a 600 just for the track. No more street riding unless i get a cruiser. And as most have said, got alot of shit in between as well.
|
Heck even I know to bring a chair and pop up.
I'm looking forward to doing my first TD this year. |
