3. Do a track day. Go Kart tracks count, right?
...
Go kart tracks are the bestest

I honestly have more fun at the go kart track than big tracks. But I still end up spending 4x the money on big tracks . When Will I learn?

"winter" seems to be best time for riding. But our winter is weak sauce. So it's nothing to brag about ha ha. last two seasons I rode more in 3-4 month of winter than rest of the year.

Goals for 2016:
1. Have fun and become faster , safer
2. Back to basics
-- I am getting a mini bike and starting over learning to ride in a parking lot around cones. Hoping to break 5 years of bad habits developed from self teaching to ride.
3. get into and do more flatrack
4. more dirt biking and maybe motocross if my health permits.
5. Sell off some bikes and down size to a manageable fleet of bikes (have been saying this for the last 3 years, garage only seems to be growing )
