Default new things to the 6

After several problems at VIR not to long ago I was forced to dump another $700 into the bike if I wanted to keep it. Last year was about $1800, the year before that was far more expensive. And thats not counting countless tires per season, general maintenance, the cost of the track days, traveling and hotels!

So yes, this stuff we do is extremely expensive but i still urge the new people to do it anyways, its so much safer then the streets! I was probably one of the biggest knuckle heads on the street until I was introduced the TRACK, and a year of riding the track I gave up street riding completely
