This thread inspired me!

A few weeks ago I decided to send my son to his first race school/track day ever.
I figured he would learn few things and it would help him learn how to handle a motorcycle.

He's not really into racing but he did learn a few things and got the hang of it pretty quickly. He thought that it was fun for a day but has moved on to other things.

I think that anyone who rides or plans to ride should do this at least once in order to develop some skills.

Thanks Flieger! I got it...set up to record.

A smart move, wayner.
Were they riding the school's bikes or their own?
After my first track day, 30 some years ago, I rode completely differently on the streets.
Much more cautiously - from then on.

Don, he used the school's R6.

I agree.
Mine was the class of 87, and after learning what I could do on the track, it seemed pointless to try and be a hero on the street.

Kinda like going sky diving and then coming home and trying to show off to your friends by jumping off the front step.;)
