Cool, I'll squeeze in there if bonnielass doesn't mind a little sandwich actionNo touching in my bikini zone though, that costs extra!
We can meet on the way somewhere and slap my bike on the trailer since were both kind of on opposite sides of the city (I'm on 104th and I-25). If you fill up the trailer, thats cool too, I'm more concerned with shade during the day than a ride, lol.
Shoot me a PM or give me a ring when you get your plan ironed out.

Randall,
There is no MRA school on this day. There are a couple of private coaching sessions with Mark S. that day, but they are already sold out.
Thank you
Scott
Why don't we just do a little pit row action?

Anybody got room for another lawn chair under their easy-up? I'm trying to get one beforehand, but may not get it done due to funds.
Cool, sounds like a plan.
I want to go, but I have to admit Im a pussy. Im scared I will drop my street bike haha, meaning I dont want to hurt my bike, not that I just really suck. Although I probably do suck. Its actually the only reason I have yet to do one of these. sigh

Don't be scared. You'll never drop your street bike out there...trust me.

Just don't ride above your head mang, check your ego at the gate and open your mind up for a totally new experience. No matter who you are, there is going to be a slew of people who are faster(and slower) than you at the track.
I became sooo much more comfortable on my bike after a track day, and now the canyons seem kinda boring (unless I'm following zach...haha). That, and you can wring your bike out in a legal environment. its a win win situation. Throw some sliders on the brit and have at it!
I'll see you there!
TheStig, it's totally up to you on how you perform. Like he said, leave the ego at home, go out there and ride your own pace. No one really cares about how fast or slow anybody else is. It's all about enjoying the day and learning more about your bike and how to ride it.
If you're ever going to give it a go, Chicane Trackdays is by far the best place to do it. People are split into groups by speed, which keeps it very low stress for riders of all levels. It's the best money you can spend to get better at riding.
It you are worried about crashing, don't be. Start out as slow as you want and only increase speed if it feels comfortable. Plus there are some awesome rider coaches who are as patient as they are fast. Hope to see you out there

I have crashed two different Speed Triples and both had Ski King sliders, man did that save both bikes. All you need is the front frame sliders and swing arm sliders. If you want more protection then go with GSG stator and clutch sliders and you can drop that bike all you want and keep riding all day.
Try to make it, you'll have fun. Plus we need some in-line 3 take over

I would need pants...hmmmm. I will have to see if I can locate some and I might be game. I dont have frame sliders either though.

I have a couple of suits that I loan out to new track riders at my events....what size do you need?
or, to ask another way, height and weight?

I've got some Teknic leather pants with a 360 zipper. Size 34 (I think)
I been riding for 6 years now. This is my first trackday, I have confidence in my riding but still freak out a lil in setting a proper entrance speed in corners. This is going to be a reality check for me about my limit and also practice. Also I know I can lean pretty far over (about a 45-50 degree lean) but just never got a knee down (Im terrified of gravel).

I would bring the Sprint out, but dragging fairings, pegs and centerstands doesn't feel quite as cool as touching knee down...
and I have a sz 42 2 pc Joe Rocket textile i can bring...if the suit fits...

Yeah man, this is going to be my first as well... Luckily, I snagged a never ever spot a few months ago. I wanted to get a track bike for this day because I was afraid of dropping my street bike; I was looking at that 636 that's been on here for a while, but when I finally made time to see it, my Explorer's transmission went out (AWESOME!). At this point, though, I'm not worried at all.. I mean you go to a track day for a reason, and it's not to ride like a pussy, right? Granted, my first day as a never ever I likely will be. But in the end, nothing comes without a risk, especially with street bikes. Live life to the fullest, even if it means putting a rash on your baby's clean paint. All I know is I'm psyched and nervous as hell to get on that track haha.
Great advice! And it's not just about your ego...keep your naturally developing confidence for the day in check too.Just don't ride above your head mang, check your ego at the gate and open your mind up for a totally new experience. No matter who you are, there is going to be a slew of people who are faster(and slower) than you at the track.

Scott puts on an incredible day, especially for those new to the track. He covers everything thoroughly and it's left up to you to make the right decisions. Have fun!

A thing or two to keep in mind when doing track days.
#1 Track days should always be safe (Chicane does a very, very good job at this.
#2 Track days should always be fun.
#3 Beyond having fun, track time should be a learning experience. This is true if you are a first time track rider or experienced racer. Utilize your track time to increase your skill level. When you get to the track have something already in mind that you want to work on. Like body position, braking, throttle control ect...
#4 Draw a track map and make notes on it. This is a easy way to remember lines, reference points, brake markers. There is a lot going on in our minds when we are riding. Write it down! Think about it before you do it.
#5 Ride within your limits. We all usually think we are right up to the point when someone passes us. Remember it is a track day not a race. There will always be someone faster.

No doubt about the future, No regrets about the past!
Hey all. Never done a track day in Co. Always been in Cali. Do they run different groups out here i.e. beginner, novice, advanced or is it a free for all? Wanting to go the 13th but haven't really ridden (other than commuting) the past couple years. Want to go back to the basics the next couple track days.
