Ahhh...I remember my first time at the track. Had a great time, hope you do too. Keep the sticky side down. Remember to bring lots and lots of drinks. My friends and I thought we brought enough but we had to make a quick run to the store to get even more.

DOH. That sucks. But at least it was at a slow speed, instead of on the highway, right?

How bad is the damage?

Yeah and I want to know how the straps give way?

Did the strap break or the buckle break?

I always knot my straps right at the buckle/ratchet then run it back trough the eye of the hook.

******* sucks man, hope the damage isn't too bad

What'd you think of the track?

After a few trackdays, you won't miss riding on the street for the riding. The only thing you might miss is the camaraderie with fellow street-riders.

I would think I'd miss riding the country side and mountains and cruising with my bro and friends. Would def not miss riding around town always worrying if the next intersection the cagers will see me or not and also worrying about getting in trouble with the law...
