OK I will help sponsor ya. I have a buck for ya. Do I get to put a sticker on your bike since I'm sponsoring you?

Cider · 05-13-2010, 05:01 PM

Sure, I'll kick in a buck too if you run these stickers on both sides of the bike:

loopy · 05-15-2010, 08:41 PM

so chad i hear you have leathers now get your a$$ to the track

cms1172 · 05-15-2010, 11:25 PM

Got a really good deal on the leathers, and darn that credit, was just too tempting. Although MMP is still out of reach for me right now.

psycon · 06-19-2010, 11:37 AM

I want to go. Need to make sure I can get the day off from work before I purchase the trackday. Would need a ride down there for me, the GF, and my bike though. Will put in some cash for gas. Need help changing out the anti-freeze for water wetter and whatever bike prep.

Hozhead · 06-19-2010, 03:57 PM

I'm a maybe. I have to get my dirt bike sold to pay for (most) of the mountain bike I ordered yesterday. If I can accomplish that time, I should be able to scrape together the funds for a track day.
Sadly, I haven't even gone for a single non-commuting motorcycle ride this season. I'll need to get some seat time in before hitting the track.

stubby · 06-19-2010, 06:08 PM

My trackday in July will be ORP on the 3rd if I do a track day

I'm a strong maybe for 7/3 now.

BLIZANTHIMUM · 06-19-2010, 11:04 PM

hopefully they have you guys going clockwise otherwise its a real bitch!
ORP is a really fun and very technical track with great elevation changes.
watch out for the 15mph knee dragging hairpin!
who is putting on that TD?

Very nice! That's a lot of travel--you must be doing some serious riding.

I'm still hoping to make it. Better not rain, though. I've done four trackdays in the rain this year and I'm done with rain.

For what I do locally, I'd surely be okay with a cross country bike 4" to 4.5" of travel but there are several trails here that can use the extra travel and I'm only 2 hours from Moab where there's a lot more trails with larger drops that need the travel.
A big part of my bike selection came down to choice of drive-train and braking components as well. Going SRAM X.7 / X.9 is a reaction to the annoying shifting on my current bike with lower end Shimano components.

And this IS on topic because riding a mountain bike is getting me in better shape for riding a motorcycle. I can also guarantee I'd be better on a dirt bike now than I was a year ago.

Waldo · 07-07-2010, 03:48 AM

A little over a week away. Who is going?

BLIZANTHIMUM · 07-07-2010, 10:01 AM

not me.

Cider · 07-07-2010, 10:20 AM

Still planning to make it. I'm going to try to make the 7/16 evening trackday, too, since Apex owes me one.

Waldo · 07-07-2010, 10:26 AM

The plan for us is to leave Friday moring. Not going to do the friday evening, just want to get down there before it gets too hot.

I'm goin, but i think im goin to just take my own bike down. So if there is anyone that wants to car pool down let me know, i know i can get a lease one more bike in my trailer.

The only thing is, if anyone goes with me, I have to leave by like 7:00 in the morning on 7/18 to get back into town for work.

call or text 921-2125

About 5.5 hours away in Tooele, Utah. Google "Miller Motorsports Park" and "Apex trackdays". Apex's site will list the exact requirements, but it's basically a bike in good working order, leathers that zip together at the waist (or a one-piece suit), and helmet/gloves/boots. Utah Sportbike Rentals has gear and bikes for rent if you need something.

Edit to add: 5.5 hours from Boise--not sure how far from GV. I'm sure somebody from the board can help you prepare and show you around the track.

Post up your sizes and you might be pleasently surprised by someone loaning you the gear needed to ride.

gv rider · 07-07-2010, 08:21 PM

well ive never been on a track, so im not sure if i want ta use somone eltses gear, id need boots, pants, and gloves, if they have to be actual riding gloves, if not i could grab some boots n gloves i have, i wear XL, if by some chance somone has old gear, ill think bout it, does ur bike need to be taged and registered?

Mikey · 07-07-2010, 08:29 PM

Basically the gear you'll need in a nutshell is, leather pants and leather jacket that zip together (or one piece suit), Riding boots, gauntlet gloves and a good helmet. don't think the bike has to be registered or insured as there are plenty of people who have track dedicated bikes that aren't legal to ride on the street, but are perfect for the track.

Just ask around, and maybe get to know some people at bike night and maybe you'll find what you need.

Also you can rent the gear you need when you get down there. The guy at Utah Sportbike Rentals is a super cool guy and is usually willing to wheel and deal and get you hooked up with whatever you need for a resonable price.

Damn all this talk about trackdays has got me jonsen...BAD!!!

gv rider · 07-07-2010, 08:37 PM

k well now im all excited, been wantin ta do this for a while now, i guess last question, sorry i can be a bit retarded sometimes, but do u just show up n pay or pre register?, ill probly bring my vtr down, i have a f250 so if someone has a trailor or if anyone needs a ride let me know, im pritty dam sure ill go, if i can maybe fallow someone there
