Good luck dude.
I've never done a track day and won't on this bike. It's a cruiser, I don't really need to. |

If you were a little further north, I would suggest that you check out FAST. Not only do they provide the bike, gear, and ex-pro racer instruction (I've had more than a few from NY, NC, and SC in my classes), but they occasionally run an advanced riding school for cruisers.

Appreciate it guys.
I have high hopes based on things that have been said to me by various racers and instructors. This winter is already going VERY slowly.... can't wait

I have done a lot of trackdays, too many to count. Started club racing in 2000 and became an instructor for Ride Smart for about two-three years. I got out of racing so that my son can start racing... still go to trackdays though, but I don't ride... I'm more of a off track private instructor/mechanic/cook and driver for him.
I did borrow a bike a few months ago and did some riding with Elite Trackdays... Damn I miss being on the track. |

I raced for 5 years so most of my track days were sanctioned, but I did one "Club" track day after the race season ended.
That was a smart move as it turned out. I had to build another race bike after that day, in the 8 weeks before the next season started. I haven't been on a track in 10 years but made the mistake of going to watch and help a buddy a few times in the past year. Sort of started a low grade itch... |
