So based on the chatter on madvlad's "last canyon ride thread" it looks like there is some interest in hitting IMI. I cant stress enough to all of you. The track is safer, more fun, no cops, no deer, no cars, no sand, no distractions. Just the ability to push to YOUR individual limits to try and improve your riding ability both on the street and on the track. IMI is slow, top speed down the back straight is about 80mph a liter bike, and very tight, just like every road we love in the canyons. IMI tech inspection is nonexistent, I think you have to have a helmet and a jacket, that's it. Its $35 for the day and absolutely the best way to improve your riding ability. Its great for the veterans and even better for the Noobs. Im happy to help any one who is interested or has questions.

No, they alternate them. Usually the bikes have the track to themselves with the occasional interruption by 20 min of carts.

They don't give two shits. You can watch from the pits or head out into the infield. Just stay out of the obvious impact zones and you will be fine. The speeds at IMI are pretty mellow.

The minimotos just carry so much more speed. We are usually riding on the absolute limit cause crashing doesn't really matter. So yeah we usually pass bikes in the corners then get stomped on the straights.

I don't know what the hell you did, but Patrick showed me the pic and it was f*#&ing gross. Not to rub salt in your wound, but you missed an amazing day. We had 7 to ourselves all the way from P2P into Lyons, except for one cruiser that was more than happy to move over to let us pass. Only saw 2 LEO all day. Perfect end to the season.

nice riding and video as always, couldn't keep up with you guys to save my life :)

Let's get that motor bolted down for you. Glad we could diagnose some stuff for you.

I had my head up my ass about a lot of things but the loose motor was probably the worst! Thanks again for the help, and next time feel free to take some laps on the little guy. For sure it won't be a rolling safety hazard like it was yesterday.

In the meantime, I clearly have to learn how to ride :lol:.
