    CBR 125 vs Ninja 250

    They are both good starter bikes and I have lots of each in my fleet. I actually like the 125 a bit more as a starter bike. 99% of people who have them trade them in after a year when they outgrow them. The 125 is cheaper so getting into one is easier, parts in case you do have an incident...

    Random track visits

    Another option for the OP would be to try the Racer5 intro program to try out the track. This way all you need to worry about bringing is a lunch and your gear (gear rental is avaliable as well) and none of the expense of damaging your street bike or buying a track bike. You get a dedicated pro...

    Question about Track Bikes

    Don't put your VFR on the track. I imagine the VFR has a clean title and therfore worth a decent amount of money. If you drop the VFR it will cost a monumental amount of money to fix and the weight of the bike will make it difficult to learn on. That being said we did have a student that...

    WTB 2006-2007 GSXR 600/750 tail section

    As title states looking for a tail section with lights. If you have either the tail section or lights please PM me what you have and what you want for it. Scratches don't matter as I am repainting the bodywork. Thanks

    TMP August 25th (Thursday)

    Remeber guys try and use proper tie downs to secure your canopies. What you use to strap your bike down is fine secured on all 4 corners. Don't use the little bungee rope that walmart canopies come with and make sure its attached to a substantial weight, especially if we are anticipating...

    TMP August 25th (Thursday)

    We already do this if the overflow is easily visible, in many cases the overflow is not easily visible. No organization in this country (trackday provider or race body) does coolant checks, but as this has been brought to my attention that this may be happening. I will be proactive and start...

    TMP August 25th (Thursday)

    Apparently you are going to need to convert it to liquid cooled, fill the rad with coolant, and not tell us at tech. Don't bring it to my attention when I make my rounds to ask how day is going, then tell me on an Internet forum two months from now. ;) (just kidding guys) *random coolant...

    Red Dawn Discussion

    Re: TMP August 25th (Thursday) I have just gotten back from the track and unloading the trailer from this past race weekend, so i'm exhausted but I will take time out to correct this as it seems as it is somehow spiralling out of control. No we have never allowed coolant or ANY glycol based...

    need help choosing a class..

    Hi Glenn, You did awesome this past weekend! The Racer5 program is developed so that you can use our 125s to hone your skills and race all season long. Once you are ready transitioning to a 600 should be very easy. If you are purchasing a bike then I would recommend a 600 and racing if...

    where to buy a pop-up tent for resting during a track day?

    I would avoid the big box stores and go with an EZ-up or Impact canopy. Last year I went through about 12 canopies, more aggravating then the financial waste was the fact that they would normally break at the worst possible time causing a lot of stress (and once knocking over someones bike that...
