That's awesome.
I had tons of fun Corsara, thanks for suggesting that I come play with you in yellow group!!
Read the TMP track day thread for the rest of the goodies (INCLUDING GOPRO FOOTAGE SOON!): http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...05-any-who-went-how-was-sept-20-TMP-track-day

I have to ask Jamie. Now you've been bitten, where does this leave street riding for next year?
Ohhhhhhh there's a good question
Lets see:
It's a pain in the butt converting the bike back and fourth for street duty and track duty all the time (which reminds me I gotta drain the water and put coolant back in before the temperature drops!!!) so it would be handy to either permanently convert it, or buy a second track only bike (or street only bike and make this one track only, but I don't think a 1000 is the best track bike for ontario tracks, maybe a good deal on a 750 will come along!).
I don't own a trailer yet, and don't really have a vehicle for towing it either, so those are both potential investments to look at if I want to keep doing a bunch of track days.
If I went track only, how much riding would I have to do to fuel my craving? Probably every single weekend!! Yikes is right.
The thing I really like about the track, is you can scare yourself over and over and you know everything will stay the same. To scare yourself on the street one of two things will happen: 1. You'll lose your license, or 2. You'll come around the same corner you ripped last week/yesturday/an hour ago, but now it's covered in sand/gravel/leaves, etc.
In all honesty, I think the deciding factor will depend on insurance. I have a feeling my current rates aren't going to hang around for much longer.
I have all winter to stew over that question, but thanks for askin

What?! Are you saying the track season is over?! No-no-no! I don't think so!!!! But I'm permanently off the street, so maybe it's different..
lol. I'm not sure if I'm doing TMP Oct 6th, 7th, 8th, I guess I'll wait till I find out about that. Once that weekend is over, it's DONE BABY! DONE!
-Jamie M.
Did you have to capitalize "done"?! Twice!!?! It's so depressing!
Pics if you do!!!
-Jamie M.
Hopefully they have a track photographer. I wanna see how I am doing through out the day. I'll also have a sticky mount for my go pro by then too
Nice! Did you think my gopro mount was too obtrusive? Once I got used to swinging my head over it on transitions I didn't even notice it, plus it's good to make sure your head/upper body is in the correct position for cornering, not over the tankHopefully they have a track photographer. I wanna see how I am doing through out the day. I'll also have a sticky mount for my go pro by then too

Hmm... looking at the layout, Grand Bend seems like a fast track, might be fun for our litre bikes? Anyone can pitch in if it's good?
I won't be able to go Sept 27th though...
if you go, let me know how it is!
This was the mount I was using, in case they make one for your bike: http://www.kapscomoto.com/SearchResults.asp?Extensive_Search=Y&Search=tank+mount
Along with this to mount the GoPro to it: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/go-pro-gopro-tripod-mount-tripod-mount/10158510.aspx

Lol, if I believed the weather report that far in the future ever, I probably wouldn't have ridden ONE DAY this summer

uploaded some pics of the track day. Took shots of different riders so take a look. Tried to take some pics from the different groups so pretty much everyone should be in there someplace. Either closeup or someplace in the distance.
