Went to Heartland Park 2 weeks ago and finally did a track day. Had tons of fun and learned so much. Needless to say, street riding has nothing even remotely close anymore.

and Stu, I put sliders on just for you

Looks like you had a lot of fun.

Damn, dude! That's seriously badass!!

looks awesome man.

did you get your knees on the ground?

BTW, what's that pink box on the seat?

Nope, no sliders.All I have are my old street leathers. I did manage to grind the outside corners of my boots off at the toes. I was way of the bike, but as of yet I have never put my knee to pavement.

Thumper, the box is my glucose checking machine for my diabetes.

good deal, the picks are great!

Glad you had fun!

If you're like I was, you'll do a few more of those and then be "forced" to start racing too.

After doing that a while, it seems like you're just creeping along at a snails pace when you ride on the street. Track riding/racing took nearly _all_ the fun out of street riding for me.

Still like dirt riding, but that's sort of the same deal. No need for speed limits in the dirt or on a road racing track.

Keep at it! As you're finding out, you learn _much_ more on the track, and at a much quicker rate, than you can ever learn just riding on the street.

Looking good! I did a few track days back in the day.

Have done 3 days this year hope to do more next year. I was doing them pretty regular there for a while then gas prices went crazy. Nice pics. as you have figured out, once you go track you will go back!
