Signed up for my first track day

Apex · June 27th, 2009, 11:47 AM

Ridesmart track day at MSR-Houston on July 25th.

I paid $195 (incl: track day fee, leather rental and bike cam).

I should be getting a discount for free leather rental (which will drop the price $50) and 20% discount off of track day fee. So, about $133 for the entire day. Not bad.

I'll post up and let you all know how it goes!

Hopefully I'll have a camera following me, and post the video, so you all can make fun of my riding ability!

A word of advice, pull all the equiptment off your bike that you can. Its not a race, so ride within your limits and check your ego at the gate. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. Save your money youll wana go again and again and again.

Yeah, no ego here, I ride on a 250.

Very cool..bring lots of water and try to stay relaxed.

I am anxious to see how this goes, the track isn't too far away. Good luck

You should come if you can. I'll be huddled up with a local club called "WFORiders". On track days they allow people who are interested in trying a track day do a parade lap. You just take it easy and you can ride around for free. Normally about 3 laps or so. So when you do get a bike (under you avatar it says you don't have one), you should head out!

Or you can just come down and watch for fun anyway. You can see at least 2/3 of the track from the grandstand.

I'll be tossing the bike on a trailer and getting a ride out there. My cooler will be in tow.

I will run it by my other half and see if she wants to go. I think it would be a blast and a good escape.
