what bike do you have?

1 drop will likely cost you more to repair your bike vs. using theirs
it's a very tiring thing to do all day (sun/rain) and then ride your bike home...again assuming your bike is rideable

If you drop theirs you'll still be paying for the repairs up to a limit.
 
I rode my own when I did it, nothing wrong with either choice but I think learning is easier if you are familiar with the bike.
 
I have 2 bikes. Same model and year. One is dedicated track bike. But I can swap any parts that will be damaged. And I will be using trailer.

They used to offer insurance to reduce the limit. I felt it was worth every penny, especially after repeatedly lapping the guy gingerly riding his own Ducati 999
 
The reason for this thread is Im looking to share my canopy if anyone is going with their own bike.

As D has noted, unless you trailer your bike there, should you crash you have to find an alternative way to get home. And yes you will be both mentally and physically exhausted after the day.
 
You really don't need a canopy, the track sessions are only 7 x 10 min, the rest of the time you're either inside the building or in the pavilion

yes, pay for theirs then you go home and ride your perfectly in tact bike, lol
either way, you gonna pay...why damage your bike.

no canopy required

I suggest you avoid eating a lot of carbs at lunch time.

Make the most out of your time there, ask all the questions you want...helpful ppl. Michelle is a very helpful guy.

What do you think is cheaper? Race plastics or stock plastics?

For reference: I had a very tiny mishap last year that destroyed the left side of my GSXR's tail. To buy the busted parts brand new was around $400....which was the same cost as a set of used race plastics I found on Kijiji.

Not to mention street bikes have things like mirrors and indicators that will also break.

headlights, levers, shifter
 
I am not disagreeing with you guys, but the main point of this thread is to see if anyone else doing the Fast Phase 1 course on May 16th. OP has a dedicated track bike and trailer.

Yeah, thats the main reason of the post. I dont know why they keep going about street bikes vs rental vs oem vs race plastic. Anyways, seems like no need for canopy.but Ill still bring my canopy since I already bought 1. I also bought generator but no warmers yet. I guess warmers can wait after the course.

The course is full but maybe theres no GTAMers.

Ok, hehe.

How about warmers? I have fresh tire on my track bike. Can I get away without warmers?

I plan to buy them in june.

You'll be fine. I'm mid pack yellow (in the middle between slowest and fastest rider on the average track day) and warmers are still a "nice to have" for me.

There are some crazy fast guys that swear by them on here but they are significantly faster than me.

EDIT: In case anyone reads this without going to page 2. The above does not apply if your tires say you need warmers (slicks, Bridgestone R10 as examples)
