Rider Mentoring

[JohnMaguire]

I'd love to ride with someone more experienced and hopefully learn a few things! I've been riding an '86 gsxr750 for the last three years and have recently switched to a 08 zx10R. I think I ride safe and I'm not looking to get killed but I'm sure I could learn a lot from someone who has been riding the canyons for a while.

If your looking for basics for IMI, I could probably help you out among several other people.

Just starting with a few simple things like getting on and off the track safely, moving onto track etiquette, some basic "do's and donts", then onto lines, a little on body positioning and such.

So, would consider doing some of this again? I just got my leathers in and want to start riding on a track but need to have some wisdom imparted so as to lessen my total embarassment(of which I am fully aware will happen) or getting my ass kicked for doing something stupid...

Can you go on weekdays or only weekends?

A lot of the track people will be at HPR this weekend for the races, which would make for some great spectating if you want to see some track riding. And then on Labor day there is the Chicane track day. After that there will probably be another IMI day.

Hello All,

If anyone is available, I'd be really appreciative of some pointers from one of you. I live in Littleton and I'm confined to the street (for the next few weeks) since I dont have racing boots. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are usually fairly flexible for me, but a little notice is always good - we all make plans, right? I ride a Ninja 250, so I'll definately be on the slow side even when I (finally) get it right!

Just give me a little heads up on when and where works for you and I'll get back to you promptly.

Thanks,
Jim

I can do some weekdays. I know weekends are usually full with carters. I wasnt able to make it out to HPR this weekend because of trip to Apsen that killed my chances at the track day with Chicane. So whenever the next IMI day is hit me up...

I have not been riding long but would like to get some advice from people who have. I have been in the canyons 3 times and it can be nerve racking and i want to get some more confidence up there. I hade a close call on one bike and i find myself gun shy in certain places.

[Jmetz]

If it's nerve racking and you're having close calls it sounds like you're going too fast for your skill. Dint be affraid to slow down and work on things. Body position, looking through, setting entry speeds, leaning, etc.

[AOK303]

WHEEZY best advice would be to hook up with someone that will take you at a calm safe pace for your skill so you can practice, i was in the same spot as you i lucked out and the first couple of canyon runs i went on had some awesome help from some advance riders. hopefully someone will pm you and help ya out, i would but a noob helping a noob is not the best help

So whenever the next IMI day is hit me up...

Planning on Friday, Sept 30.

Sept 26th, HPR has an open day lapping for motorcycles only, a few of us will bring out barbeques as well for some grub..... Good way to meet others, get a few tips and such.

Doesn't mean you have to ride, just come out and have a good time. Facebook link in my signature, will be starting a new thread on here later once a few details are finalized.

[Wheezy]

Yeah i plan on being out there on the 26th. Sounds like a good time.
