I know it only too well. I used to do time trials in cars.

The biggest difference is that I own the bike... and it's not a track bike, which is a bit of a concern I must admit.

The plan is:

- Get the basic equipment together (suit, proper armor, trailer hitch for the car, supplies/parts to prep the bike).
- Pay off the bike before going to the track.
- Do the first few track days with the bike as it is.
- Get addicted, make the next investment... bodywork because factory fairings are EXPENSIVE
- Upgrade gear as money allows (suit and boots)
- Eventually/maybe: Get a track bike so I can stop worrying about my main squeeze. That's a tough one. Wife would NOT be happy about two bikes.
