    Their web site is a little lacking in info. Do they have separate times for different kinds of vehicles on the road track? What will they let you ride on it?

    They will let you ride it on pretty much anything. It is tight, small, and twisty. It is a lot of work on a big bike. A lot. If there are enough people there, they will break into 30 minute sessions between karts and bikes. Also, if they have rental karts they will make you get off (most of the time). That is because they make a lot of money on the rental karts and don't want us scary motorcyclists out there with them. Most of them can't drive anyway, so it is probably better. You need a helmet and stuff to cover your limbs, but they don't much care what it is. You should wear leathers and boots and gloves anyway, cause blue jeans and tarmac have a matter/antimatter relationship when they come into contact with each other.

    On a slightly different topic - they are repaving sometime in May. I just called them and asked today.

    HEY! I resemble that remark!

    Seriously, wear good gear, being on crutches for two+ months sucks.





    BTW, Adam thanks again for the lift!

    Ok, thanks for the info. I was thinking it might be a fun track to ride the 500 Interceptor on occasionally and it's not too far away from me.

    David,

    I hope that you are doing well; we haven't had a chance to talk for awhile. I was thinking of going tomorrow. I think I am going to take the fz-1 out there. I am trying to get Ken to go as well, but he is feeling a little sick. I can't track Terra down; his phone number doesn't seem to work anymore. Are you headed out tomorrow? Feel free to give me a call 310-343-3636

    I can't make it out tomorrow, I'm trying to finish up the bike for upcoming track days. However, sunday is a definate possibility though. Maybe Ken will be feeling better by then?

    I took a ride from Littleton to IMI on my wifes EX250 today....I thought it might be fun on the small track they have.

    No one was there except a couple little kids on 4-wheelers...So I rode back home...Nice ride though!!

    I've never been on a track before and was hoping to see some guys out there....Hopefully more people will show next time....
