If you have the right equipment to ride a 10C track and learn something then please do... I not trying to talk anyone out of a track day that they want to do, more the merrier.
That's a good point... there are races when the weather isn't exactly perfect but there are experienced racers on the course that know a bikes limits as well as what they can do in certain conditions. Most racers will also have the proper equipment to ride extreme weather conditions. If your new...
Dean has tire warmers... Personally I don't see why you would want to ride the track when there is frost or snow on the ground but hey to each his or her own.
Have fun, ride safe...

I'm on Kellen's side... Trackdays are meant to be a fun place to let you and your sportbike do it's thing, learn how to handle it in a safe environment and meet some nice people. It is not a race and there is no trophy or sponsorship money to be won... we just return to work the next day happy...

Tons of other hobbies that have been put on simmer since I started track riding two years ago, lots to do only a lot less dangerous. lol
Most of my stuff has been sold off already... if the bike...
No that's it for this old guy... I posted everything for sale on another forum, last things to go now are the bike and trailer... 2 people coming to check both out this weekend.
Guy behind had way too much speed going into the corner... couldn't stop, I was in the corner.
I'll post a short video from my camera which was pointing forwards...
Donald it seemed like you guys were there in a flash... I remember trying to get the riders foot out of my rear wheel and when I couldn't I turned and looked to the pit area and you guys were already zooming out at break neck speed towards the accident, very quick response time.
One thing I...
Yeah when I was behind him looking for an opening to pass I really left him some room for error (on his part) because he was just so all over the place with his lines and seemed to be on the ragged edge every lap. Once I passed I thought everything would be fine because I was running faster laps...
No (Valentino Rossi) the kid that got hurt was on the white bike... he basically t-bone me, I didn't know it was coming but got lucky and walked away from the hit minus some serious damage to bike and equipment. There was somebody behind him with a camera and I had a camera on my bike facing...
When you get a sold out track day things can get kinda hairy... you can't see everything that goes on, if you had a problem with someone doing a wheelie report them. I know one guy who got black flagged for doing a wheelie yesterday, ...no names mentioned ;)
I viewed the video of the crash in...
