Tito I have taken many green flags in my day from flat tracking to motocross to sprint cars I dont think you will ever catch me back on a track.

Thx Tito - I just bookmarked all 3 of them into my School Folder under Motorcycles. I will look at them later when I'm not busy doing nothing! :-)

Tito,
Are there days for "learning" rather than racing? And if so, do I have to modify my Tiger for a track day? I've heard some tracks require emptying the coolant and wire-ties to all sump nuts and bolts. And will taping the headlights and taillights be enough without taking the bulbs out?

Can you tell, I'm looking for the easiest way to have a track day?!

Fish tail has really good class room instruction, then you go out and practice what you learn on the track.

Most of the schools have 3 levels of instruction

Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced / Pro

I usually run in the Intermediate group and move up to the Advanced group every now and then.

The sites have a list of equipment requirements and bike set up. I tape up lights, remove mirrors, lower air pressure 30 front / 29 rear, I run really sticky tires 70% track / 30% street.
