So I went to this go kart track today where they run bikes on the weekends. It was pretty cool and everything. I actually did ok.... nothing great. The people down there were hella good and with my 1.5 month experience I was being passed left and right. I only had a jacket, helmet and gloves nothing special. They only require a helmet. The people that I met there actually were wearing full gear. I really liked it alot the only one thing is that my bike is my daily driver and from what I saw they waste their tires like a ****... Some people have actually laid their bikes down... So I don't think I'll be going back in a while... just because I dont want to laid down my bike and because I can't be dropping tires left and right. I think I might get a track bike later on and go from there... Not to say getting gear is kinda expensive. It was actually kinda scary not wearing a full suit. I have to admit people with more experience riding are way better. It was really hard for me to apply the breaks at the right time. Plus leaning more is a big fact of me not doing the turns as expected. Just riding with the people I went to the track was kinda hard for me... So yeah just had that to say about my day today.....

It's good to see a new rider try and improve on their skill. That shows signs of maturity.

your squid value will decrease even more once you figure the gas mileage thing

ps: you're probably a huge liability for everyone else that's on-track with you. Get some more miles before going back.

 

I actually asked the guy that invited me there about my experience riding. He told me that people with as little as 3 days riding have gone up there... It gives you more experience... we do have to take our mirrors off and or fold them. You know what I mean by that if you've ever been on the track

you can take them off AND fold them?

 

that sounds incredibly badass. I'd love to hit a small tight track on a bike!

 

It was lots of fun... but believe me is kinda rough on your bike

 

You make sooo many threads.
