Safety wiring the bike is optional, not required for ART Basic and White group. You must tape the lights and remove the mirrors, nothing more.

street riding for about 13yrs. i got a zrx, met up with a few fellow zrx owners for a camp/ride rally in the north georgia mountains (talk about twisties!). trying to keep up with them was impossible. that winter i bought the keith code & other books and started reading.
'05 i took the zrx to pocono with TPM for my 1st track experience, did 10 trackdays that year.
stopped going to the gym, skateboarding, golfing, fishing - almost stopped snowboarding and tried to do trackdays out west - can you say 'addict'

The thing with the track is the it teaches you how to control your bike, there for you are able to get out of most situations...street and track.
Do it you wont regret it

Yeah, I'm totally addicted. I've pretty much given up on the street. It's fun going aggressive on the street in little spurts, but on the track, you get 20 minutes of "all you can handle" at a time. I've sacrificed a lot just to go to the track a few times a year. |

Yes, either or, as long as the 2pc has a 360 zipper.

Theres definitely enough coaches. There are designated coaches for Art Basic too. The size of the class/group varies depending on the size of the track. For example you can fit alot more riders on a huge track like Mosport as compared to Beaver Run.

Why would you want to rent a bike when you "gotta ducati"??
Seriously, all you have to bring is a helmet.
