I just signed up for the 2 day Street School on June 12th and 13th at Loudon. I can't wait. The 12th is my birthday, so this is my present to myself. | ||

Tuesday is my regular day off, and I was able to get wednesday off as well. If you could make it, that would be awesome. there were 15 spots available as of this morning. | ||

I'm thinking about signing up for that. Wondering if I want to buy a track bike or prep mine.......... Don't know yet. Boos....... how hard is it to prep a bike? Maybe I can convert my 86 Maxim 700 to a track bike!!!! putting a knee down on a cruiser!! YEA BABY | ||

Safety wire the oil filter and tape up you lights, and you are basicly preped for trackdays. They don't require much unless you are actually racing. | ||
| Damnut |
That's it?? You don't have to safely wire the drain plugs? or anything else? | ||

I didn't last year, and I passed tech. It might be a good idea though. | ||

From Penguin's web site: "Motorcycle Preparation Your motorcycle should most importantly be clean and oil tight. Tires that are in good condition (50% tread or more) are a must. You should remove your mirrors, tape up all of your lights, and it's a good idea to cover up your speedometer (helps focus on the track). We also highly recommend removing your side stands, although it is not required. Be aware that they can drag on most bikes. You also need to remove all of your antifreeze and replace it with water or approved race coolant. If you plan to ride to the track, leave yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to prepare your bike in the morning." | ||

| Livnlo |
all right im not insulted just very motovated to find insurance i do believe it is a requirment for track days and as i am self employed my f***in boss doesnt offer it | ||
| Damnut |
Really that's a requirement???? Damn that sux. I know from friends that have their own business' that to insurance yourself is VERY expensive. | ||

With the track day that I went to last year, they didn't require you to have health insurance. I also didn't see anything on Penguin's site asking for it. | ||

Just messin w/ ya Livnlo....no insult ment at all... Self Employment sucks for insurance. My buddy owns a speed shop and a couple years ago his health ins. Almost trippled in price.(Family plan) It ain't cheap!!!! | ||

Not to turn this into an insurance thread but www.healthplanone.com hooked me up and I'm self employed. |
