Free Practice on a Race Track

[Ulvetanna_imp]

the ideal perspective, the ideal track day, the ideal goals for the day

i am surprised at the amount of lean the bike appears to be able to achieve, it looks like close to 45 degrees with the shocks set all the way stiff

track is much safer than the street, people worry about other riders being too fast, a rider passing you on the track will likely have a speed differential of 10-20 mph

what is the speed differential of oncoming traffic on a two-lane road with a posted limit of 100 kph...yes that is 200 kph so if the oncoming driver drifts into you, you have a 200 kph collision

no ambulance
no corner workers

any bike can be taken on a closed course for training, i know someone who took a sportster low and was dragging pegs every corner but learned a lot
