once you go on the track, you'll never look back (or something like that Very Happy )

Be carefull thou ! its highly addictive and you may find yourself planning your life around your trackdays !!

great to go around corners without the worry of oncoming traffic, shit on the road and if you do come off you won't mangle yourself around a lampost etc ...enjoy Thumbs Up

Dont think like that, there isn't really a 'back'.

Once your there you'll realise that its not a race, just get out there and enjoy yourself.

I was really nervous when I done my first TD, but after about 2 minutes into the first session, all nervousness dissapears and you'll have a great time! Thumbs Up

you'll love it, as long as your not scared of corners or afriad to open your throttle more than halfway you'll be fine.

tis very addictive but its worth every penny. road rising is shit in comparison and going for rideouts just dont excite me anymore.

Having seen some track day riders get into difficulty on the road, I dont want to follow suit.....I really enjoy bike riding not racing.....although in opening the throttle and corners Im ok there is always something to learn.....I am looking forward to it.

Give ya tyres a few laps to warm up and you'll be ok. I've seen a few first timers get used to the first lap then open up out of a corner, and hey presto end of the day. Its as easy as that. Wink
