Hey all, I just found this site and forum about two days ago. I have been interested in doing some track riding for a few years but never had the money for it until now. Since I am stationed in Newport News, VA, I'll probably only be hitting up VIR, unless there is another track that is relatively close.
I have been riding sport bikes for about 10 years and have also been a MSF Rider Coach for the last 2 years. I own a '08 CBR 1000RR. I have been to Deal's Gap and some surrounding roads (I'm from that area), but I still want to get on the track where I can really push myself and not have to worry about cars, animals, debris, etc.
Right now I am looking at using my 1000RR as my street and track bike since I'll be starting in "B" and don't really plan to try going beyond "I". Right now I can't afford another bike just for track riding. Any suggestions about things I should do to my bike to make both worlds meet in the middle?
I am used to being the go-to-guy for street riding info, but this track stuff is a new challenge for me. Thanks for any input/help.
Ted
