Just remember that the only way that skills learned on a trackday should be transferable to the road is as a means to get you out of danger - not as a means to place yourself in danger.

Yeah its a cheap whorean one.Originally Posted by sinfull
Yeah thats the whole point. Lots of people posting here mention that the track slows them down on the road, and correspondingly gives them a greater feeling of being in command of the bike.

Its hard to imagine someone like you learning anything...apart form doing a swirly cone.The speeding on the road thing ends one day anyway, so it might as earlier rather than later. There's just way too much crap on the road to race around on it.
I've only done one track day ever, and I'm amazed what I learned on it. I had no formal tuition/support on the day except the linesman, and one person who said "you're doing alright!", but it's notable how different I feel on my bike now.
The only thing that worried me is, by the end of the day I was basically racing everyone.. How long would that have lasted?

" lots of references to people who agreed with me"

After doing 2 track days, I now find road riding very dull. the shite on the roads and dangers of other road users etc etc really spoil it for me now, so I shall mostly be doing track days from now on I reckon.
Voltaire.........whats with the references to DB and ice cream? i dont understand?

lick lick !
I did that with track days, road riding bored me so made a deal with the Mrs where we stopped riding on the road and i stripped the bike down for track only ! Saved a good couple of hundy a week by not going out and that paid for two to three track days a month over the summer period, Was great till i bought another road bike lol, Couldn't spring me a loan could ya lol
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
Technique obsessed
I'm actually enjoying road riding a little more since the track day. Before it I was basically always stressed about being too slow; now I'm actually relaxed again, like when I first started riding. Still, if I had to give up street riding for the track, I'd do it in a heartbeat

I had my first track day at Manfield as well (last year).
I have never looked back as i have now have a few track days under my belt.
It has helped my riding and as Sentax said "if I had to give up street riding for the track, I'd do it in a heartbeat".
just need to find a sponser.

It's an intentional jibe that he thinks is derogatory. What he doesn't realise, is we find it quite amusing.. us laughing at him, not the other way around.

I would say "it's up to you" but it's not is it? It's up to me.
