Default Just got my first bike

Well, I go get it tomorrow. CBR600RR and yes, I'm stoked. I've raced for years at autocross and road courses and have always wanted a bike. I've seen the weekend riders having fun on the back roads or just cruising the streets and have always wanted to experience that. Don't get me wrong...once I'm comfortable on the bike, I want to do some tracking, but there is just someting about having a bike.

That being said, anybody in the biloxi area?

Congrats, stay safe and respect it, it has a lot of potential to get you into trouble. Have fun and go hit the track, you will not regret it.

Thanks, man. I'll definitely work up to riding hard. I know my limits in a car, and I'm sure I will have more limits on a bike.

make that MUCH MORE limits on the bike.

congratulations...

Don't think you need massive amounts of experience to ride at the track. There are several. classes and it's a great place to learn the limits and extreme handling characteristics of a sport bike.
