Default You can never have just one.

My 1st track day was at Pahrump, and I had a blast!! Used the 1st day to learn the track and set up my bike and the 2nd day to work on rider form (still needs help) and change up some lines.

I have only been to a few tracks, but I have to say "GET OUT THERE" to anyone that has not gone. Even if you just go as a pit bitch, it is still a worth while experience.

1st Trackday was great, the morning I didn't know what to expect so I was uneasy. It was a newbie track day so it wasn't bad . Most of the morning I was takin it slow learning the turns and following the guys in the vest. Took some time out on a veterans advice to get my sag set . Felt a much more comfortable difference. By the end of the first day I much more confident and couldn't wait til the next day. 2nd day was a blast and worked on improving myself . All and all had lot of fun and think I'm addicted . :thumbup

1st day at the track was an RC51 day at Pahrump with the next day being a day with STAR at Pahrump..I was the outcast on a 954. Nervous, excited etc....thought I was moving ok for the first time, till one of the organizers came around me in turn 1 on HER 929 with bunny ears attached to her helmet flapping.... :lmao
