    minimalist track day setup

    I'm converting a trailer previously used to tow a small sailboat into my bike trailer. I'll be towing it with a mid-size sedan. I've got a pretty good trailer design in mind, and will be getting it done over the next few weeks. I will have a little bit of room on the deck for gas cans, and...

    Kids and Dogs

    If you have kids and/or fur children, I'd like to hear about your experiences at track days. I'll likely have to start out flying solo to track days, as I will not have anyone to come along and hang out with my kids and dog while I am on the track. But I'm wondering if and when the kids (7...

    Vintage 2 stroke Yamaha - 1975 RS100

    I browsed these posts and saw that not only track bikes have been posted here, so please excuse for posting. 1975 Yamaha RS100. I had considered making it a cafe bike, but I'm not going to get around to it anytime soon and my shop is not big enough to have on-hold projects hanging around...

    New in Northern Kentucky

    Hola Amigos. I discovered N2 via the Ohio Riders forum when I asked about local track days. I have never ridden on the track, and have just come back to bikes after a 10 year break. Currently riding an '07 FZ6 on the street, but I will be looking to acquire a track bike in the $3K range over...
