Sorry Omar...I didn't think of it at the time. Next time I need a bike, I'll be sure to do so!

Also, you don't need to be there at 9 sharp. Just come whenever to observe the action, up until 5pm.

Yep, there is a practice event tomorrow, from 9-5. It's $10 to get in the door to spectate (which I know sucks, but nothing we can do...blame the people at e-town Raceway).
But I encourage any of you to come and check it out. I'll be there with my NSR (wifey with hers too), along with some of the usual others. It's a growing sport, and still in need of people showing interest if it has a chance of expanding at all.
If any of you have full gear, bring it along too. If you're lucky, and don't mind paying the $30 entry fee, maybe someone with an extra bike may be willing to let you try it out.
If you need directions, check out their site...

Maintenance should actually be easier than a real bike. Cause it's a 2 stroke, oil changes are easier, and everything is easier to break down if you're mechanically inclinded.
Even though it's only a 7hp bike, it can still bite you if you aren't careful. Whack the throttle too hard in the middle of a turn, and you may be sorry. But yes, it's much easier to push the limits of the NSR than a full size bike of course. You won't be going very fast in the straights in comparison, as I think it tops out at around 60'ish, but it's fun as hell in the corners!

See ya all in a few weeks.

Leave it to Honda to start a good thing stepping up from the mini sized pocked bikes for track days. When Honda released those a while ago I'd always wondered if they were worth the money in entertainment, it seems they are.
How's the maintenance on these vs a standard size trackbike?
Do you actually have to work the bike at all regarding throttle and braking or do you just open the throttle wide the entire way and push it thru the turns with more bike lean?
What's the average to top speed on the track?

1st timer & had a blast! 
got very interesting when i followed a couple of bikes out of the pits onto the grid, next thing we know we're all running with the carts! i thought this was pretty cool & was already formulating a plan on where i can try a pass. then the marshall flagged me off the track - our bikes were not supposed to be out there yet 
good to meet you shamster, can't wait until next time.

Great day yesterday...good to meet you too Ginoe. Hope to see you at more of the events in the future.
The next and final practice date for the year is 11/18. If the weather isn't too cold by then, I'll be there too.

I have been there in the Spring on my CRF 50 with two other guys, we met NJ racer and some other dude. We had a pretty good time.
Were there any other CRF or XR 50 's there this past weekend?
I may show up on the 18th.

There were two other mini-motards there, but not sure if what model bikes there were.
Definitely come out on the 18th if you can. As long as the weather is nice, it will be a blast!
