I think the point here is to come to some reasonable conclusion about INCREASING the safety of riding at IMI. We haven't had to have this discussion before because it's not been that popular of a place to ride. Last september when you were there you had about 12 bikes....this year we've probably had as many as 30 and it's really starting to get dangerous. There is a huge variance in the skill level out there and one of the major problems that is being encountered is that inexperienced track riders are using their mirrors to eye up what's behind them. In doing this they change line and become unpredictable. There is an easy solution....tape up the mirrors.
All of your other listed mods are great ideas too. There is no reason you can't feel free to go ahead and make them.
I'm guilty of leaving the mirrors on my street bike when I ride to IMI...I don't use them, but I'll be taping or removing in the future because I agree with the premise of the rule. It is flat out dangerous to use the mirrors on the track. PERIOD.
on another note....scariest thing I've ever dodged on the track is a broken chain as it came zipping off of a modern vintage GTO bike in front of me....it had a certain missle like quality that I'm glad I didn't get in the way of.
Oh, funny. Well, at least Ralph thinks so. And you know I have passed someone, since I have passed you. Sure, you were sitting still, but a pass is a pass.Originally Posted by Bueller
