No, probably not. I was primed and ready at the conclusion of 2011 to buy a bike, gear, and everything to do nearly the full midwest season with them this year. They pulled the plug and left me with a huge wad of cash that I spent on new hobbies and continued street riding instead of track...

I have bad news for you: http://tracktalk.nesba.com/showthread.php?t=22948 Check around with other organizations to try and get your track day fix in the Midwest region this year. I live in Appleton and have 40 minutes of RA under my belt on my RC51 (that was my intro ride) and a full day of...

I saw the news via a post from a FB friend before I headed over here. Last year I did my intro ride @ RA in May on my RC51. Also met a couple of great people including beac. Then I did a Motovid day with Zippy sharing his GSX-R 750and I knew I was going to do this hobby in 2012. I spent the...

Wow, yeah, I totally screwed that up. I can't read. :(

Exactly where in MI are you? (based off the reference in fire's post)

I can't blip my RC51 to save my life. Part of it maybe has to do with it being stock geared (and stock everything else) and I'm blipping at too low of speeds/rpms to be practical. Even when I do match revs/shifts properly the engine braking on that bike feels like I'm being thrown against a...

+1 Wthout a thread template, without people putting their locations in their profiles, or without locations being added somewhere in the subject or post browsing for motorcycles on this forum is f'n useless. I shouldn't have to go look up an area code, a zip code, or post "Where are you...

I recently had a conversation with my State Farm agent in July while researching bike purchases (I wanted to know what was available for insurance on the bike on the track). Technically, from my agent's response, there is no coverage if you lose it on the track versus on the street regardless...

It was probably Brett from ALR you were talking to.

That's a bummer. I was planning to go down there for those dates. :(

I'm either blind or can't read....where is this located?

You bet! Two reasons: 1) I'm starting to accumulate stuff for getting into track days next year (long story, PM me if you really want to hear it) and I'd like a rear handle stand because it's easier to remove from the bike than this one would be. Not that removing a front handle rear stand is...

SOLD Figured I'd put this here for anyone possibly heading to Road America in three weeks. I prefer to sell this without shipping it (due to cost to the buyer), but if I can't offload it locally at RA or via Craigslist I'll work with someone on shipping it. It's two years old, has some minor...

Definitely worth watching! "Could you say it with a bit more conviction?" "No." Lol

Wow, that does suck! It would be awesome to see some other track step in and host it, but the article is right about perhaps being too late to promote the event in time for a good turnout even if another track offered to host.

My newbie two cents comes from this: Last Wednesday Zippy was kind enough to split a full track day at BHF with me on his '02 GSXR 750. I'd NEVER ridden an I4 in any situation and started straight away on a bike pretty much set to go (both our weights were nearly identical for his suspension...

Welcome! I like the paint job!

My intro vids are on FB, but I should upload the full clips to my site and link them here for people to check out. I like yours, good job, and glad to see another 1st timer recording their experience! I went off in turn five first lap of my second session because I came in too hot, and, like...

I just got done getting answers about chain adjustment from Speedzilla, and the topic of binding up the chain and sprocket came up while making the adjustments to the tension. Binding the chain (as 2trill describes) helps force the axle into the adjustment bolts for better accuracy.

Pictures received! Awesome, thank you!
