    Countdown to Barber

    Yeah I'd like to know the answer to this as well. How bad does it have to be for them to call off the event? Saturday looks like rain all day and Sunday is going to be thunderstorms all day. I'll be renting a bike and taking time off work so I need to know ASAP.

    Going to my first track day at Barber in 2 weeks. Any tips?

    I picked up a Shoei RF 1200 helmet from my local motorcycle shop the other day. It fits great and definitely is the lightest and most comfortable helmet that I've ever had. Looks like the weather forecast is calling for rain both days. How do track days work in bad weather?

    Going to my first track day at Barber in 2 weeks. Any tips?

    Thanks for the tip I'll definitely stop by and say hi. Passing is only allowed on the straight for novice riders right? Also, what do you mean by vision? As in quality of vision or knowing where to look? I'm a pilot and I have perfect 20/20 vision if that helps. I'll have to check out those...

    Going to my first track day at Barber in 2 weeks. Any tips?

    That's a good point. What helmet do y'all recommend? The only one that fit me at my local motorcycle shop was a cheap $110 one. Is that sufficient? And how bad is an old helmet? My Icon speed freak is in perfect condition except for a scratched visor. But the motorcycle shop said that it was...

    Going to my first track day at Barber in 2 weeks. Any tips?

    Yeah it's my first track day. Are control riders the same thing as instructors?

    Going to my first track day at Barber in 2 weeks. Any tips?

    After getting a lot of help from everyone on this site, I'm very excited to say that I will be doing my first track day at Barber in two weeks. I'll be renting a '13 ZX6R and I already have two piece leathers and boots. Apparently the Icon helmet that I've been using on the street is expired...

    Countdown to Barber

    I don't think Alabama has any special restrictions. I was there a little while ago and it was just business as usual

    Countdown to Barber

    Oh ok. So it's $225 for a membership and then another fee for the track day itself? How much is it going to be all together for me to ride with y'all in a few weeks?

    Countdown to Barber

    I'm trying to make it but I didn't realize that these slots fill up that quickly. I tried to register from the home page but for some reason it won't let me log in there even though it will let me post here. Can someone help me with this? I tried calling the number on the homepage but I couldn't...

    Other options for renting a bike?

    I spoke with Emerson yesterday and he was very helpful. He has a bike for me and I'm trying to work out the details to see if I can commit to both days right now. Thanks for the help guys, I hope to meet y'all in person in a few weeks!

    Other options for renting a bike?

    Hey guys. I've been riding for years but I've never been to a track day before. My last bike was a CBR 954RR but I sold it and I don't have one at the moment. I'm looking for a 600 RR but haven't found one yet. I'd really like to go to the track day at Barber Motorsports Park later this month...

    Renting a bike for the Barber track day? Any experience?

    Started riding on the street at 18. I've had numerous 600s and 750s. Last bike was a Honda 954RR. Sold it a long time ago because all the cage drivers on their phones forced me to make the tough decision to give up street riding. Haven't been on a bike in several years so I'm sure that the back...

    Renting a bike for the Barber track day? Any experience?

    Thanks. I have a full face Icon helmet that is in good shape but the fit is a little loose. I didn't know if I could just rent a better helmet for the day. The gloves I have stop at the wrists and I would prob need some of the ones that cover my forearms too.

    Renting a bike for the Barber track day? Any experience?

    Hey guys. I've never done a track day before but I'm really hoping to make it to the second day of the Barber Motorsports track day in Alabama. (have to attend a wedding on Saturday or I would do both days). I don't have a bike at the moment and it doesn't look like I will be able to get one...

    What do you guys think of this as a first track bike? '06 600RR

    Yeah that's a little out of my price range. Thanks though. I contacted the guy about that '06 600rr on Craigslist but I never heard back. If anyone knows of a decent 600rr for $3k around Atlanta please let me know!
