In this section you will find all the information needed to get started with your new addiction, track days. Many people think you have to safety wire your bike, use race tires, or basically setup a race bike. This is not required for participating in a track day. Any bike that has a minimum displacement of 250cc, and is in good working condition can pass the required tech inspection. There are a few minor things that need to be done to your bike such as taping off lights, removing the mirrors, and flushing out any glycol based coolant. Anyone can perform these tasks in a matter of minutes.

Most track day providers have vendors for tires, and suspension. It isn't necessary to purchase race tires as the street tires today are more than enough until you get into the advanced group. Even when you do advance into the advanced group you still might not ever need to upgrade your tires. You should however take advantage of the suspension tuner to help you get the most out of your bike, and work with the tire guy to make sure your tires are properly inflated, giving you the best traction.

So if you are looking for a way to improve your skills in a safe environment, and without having to worry about getting a ticket, then come out for a track day. A single day at the track can teach you more than what you could learn in over a year just riding on the streets. At some events, you can get private coaching or you can take advantage of the track day provider's control riders and instructors. They are there to help you learn, so take advantage of them. It is easier to learn the right way than have to learn how to break a bad habit.
