Moving from 4 to 2 wheels, kinda (STEPHASAUR)

The thing with motorbikes is you can ride a road going bike around the track and have more fun/go faster than most kiwis typical 'track racing' cars.

yea I can agree with that statement.
Though there is no question I will eventually take the bike to the racetrack, and ultimately have a lot more fun in it than I did say the Z32, or mx5, not to mention the cost of a bike would be significantly cheaper than a car (or at least I assume so)

How often are bike days held?

will still keep the little track toy. it's 99% ready, seems a waste to give up juuuuuuuuuust yet :P

Usually at least a couple a month. During summer, if you're prepared to head down to Taupo, you can ride pretty much every weekend.

If you're racing at Hampton Downs and Taupo there are, for example, 3 race meetings in February, 1 in March and 1 in April. But that doesn't take into account the track/test days.

taupo tracks niiiiiiiiiiiiice ^-^
might aim for feb/march... though might be too soon into riding? they do allow learners right? I had heard rumours that learner riders weren't permitted on the track.

Like other motorsports I guess - if you want to make a small fortune motorcycle racing, start with a large fortune

Best ever fun though!

Plenty of learners get out in the slowest group (can never remember if that's 1 or 4). Being speed appropriate etc, it's definitely the safest way to get on the track.

Those rumours are all shit. There's a group to suit all abilities (except for GP racers, those bastards are too fast for the fastest race groups). Sign up for the slow group at a track day.
