the RIP post got me a thinking...... Why do we / you / I do track days? Bear with me, I know there is a track day section. Initially it was to make me a better rider on the road and so I could learn some real skills and learn how to ride properly. So the post about the death last night in L'pool got me thinking - and that's a first today don't ya know - I too do not really like road riding, but love track days. I'd love a track day only bike but when the sun does shine there's nothing better than a good blat along some back roads on a sports bike, but I always feel relieved / surprised to be home in one piece. I know the 748 ain't that practical as a bike to commute upon, and I have it in hibination during the winter months, so why not have a dedicated track bike and a run-around for day-t-day stuff? Anyhow, does anyone else feel this way? And why do / did you do track day(s)? Tim |
