Dude, you've got 6 months to bone up! This would be my first track day. I wont be able to do more than 1 before then...if I get to do any before this. It's just too good to pass up.

Hmm, wonder if I should sign up. For $100 it's more than worth it. Think I can be ready if I get a bike in April? For the September track day.:scratch: :tt: :whistle: I know I'll have plenty of miles...

:yesnod: You would want to ride in the novice class. It would be an excellent learning opportunity. Yeah, you would probably learn a GREAT deal more on how to ride there then you would on the street. All that learning without all the cages getting in your way. The track is the best place to learn control.

mybe i should sign up for the advanced class, and hope they let me ride with the novice. what do you think I would advise against that. But there was only 1 spot left when I signed up. They made room for my buddy in the novice. You might get somewhere if you email them first and ask them.

Cant get it down!!!

Damn. Does that mean their sales suck, they have to let you ride on the track for free? And then MAYBE you'll buy their bikes.

Rice rocketeers often dismiss them without even giving them a chance. (You might notice when someone bashes Buell on this board, my first question is always, "have you ridden one?") The best way to sell Buells is to let people ride them, as they are often pleasantly surprised.

I use to bash the buells but I opened my mind, then I test rode 2 different models. I was pleasantly surprised. I really like them now. Just as long as you're not talking about straight aways...

Just as long as you're not talking about straight aways... :withstupi I've said it before... I get wasted in the straights. But it's fun to pass them back in the next corner. I like to imagine they've got a case of :wtf: going big time at that point. :lol: Of course, now that I think about it, not all of them get me. This vid is a :dupe: but since its on topic, the camera bike is an R6 and I enter the picture from the left. This is the main straight at Hallett (http://www.hallettracing.net) (of course) on my second time there ever and first time running clockwise. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/l48shark/th_Pass.jpg (http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/l48shark/?action=view¤t=Pass.flv)

Then slowly the looks came around to me. And I read up on what they were about. Then the test ride...after that...forget it.

Better than your Buel. My feeling was that the 51 would be ideal for the track while the 'Bolt would be ideal for the street. My friend who owns the 51 felt the same way after our (street ride) swap. The 51 has punishing ergos, but spools up fast and has unbelievable stopping power (with a stainless line being the only mod to the braking system). The Buell, meanwhile, was much more real worldly, friendly, comfy, and has killer design so it really gets a lot of looks in traffic. I frequently get :wtf: followed by :dthumb: from cagers. (The kids especially!) I dig it.

I can totally see that perspective on the 51 vs the Buells
