Default Amago Today!

Well I rode Amago today and it was a blast. It was the first time I had ever ridden a supermoto or even a dirt bike and it took me a while to get the hang of it. I was actually riding the track backwards for the first couple of hours till Balz from Oside Aprilia Ducati got there and told me your supposed to go the other way (who ever heard of a counter-clockwise track?) after some pointers from Balz and some other guys I was starting to get up to speed. I plan on going Tuesday and Im sure there will be no one there so if anybody wants to go let me know I can help with transportation.

Sounds like you had a great time! If the weather is good, maybe I'll see if anyone wants to take a ride out to visit you at the track, and hit up Palomar for a few runs with me. :wave

Ya, that would be really cool. I can bring my sportbike too. It was very low key. Just a guy at the gate that I paid $20 and then you were free to do what ever you want. No track workers or anything, I just used general track etiquite(sp?) Some guy brought his motard and a 999r and he had a bunch of friends that showed up to watch on streetbikes. He was letting his buddies take a few laps on his motard and I would be happy to let you spin around the track a bit if you wanted. I dont think they charged spectators anything to get in. Not too many amenities, just 1 porto potty but it was a very cool enviroment. The fast guys were very friendly, maybe they were happy to have someone to pass, I dont know. I will probably be there around 9am tues. It is about 3-7mi. past the turn off for the tight side on the 76.

Awesome! Amago is pretty close and there's rarely anyone there. If you get out there with some karters then the general etiquette is to split sessions with them at about 15 mins each. I've seen some people try to run the track at the same time, but they are much faster and its prob better to let them do their own thing unless its just 1 of them. I was going to head out there today, but I just put the ohlins forks on the motard and I had to machine a spacer for the new axle. I finally got it all set up so hit me up if you want to head out there on a weekend sometime :thumbup
