Hey guys
I have had the bike 2 years now and want to get some tips on good form and some track time in. I dumped out from lowsiding from bad form (and also shitty suspension settings!). Does anyone know of any place to take some lessons or get some track time in? Im from Huntington, NY... on Long Island
thanks in advance

they do track days at Pocono raceway. 3 different layouts there, not in the best condition, but it's all we got close to us.:thumbup:

I do trackdays with Team Pro Motion! An i do have to say that if you want to keep street riding then DON'T go to the track! I went this year first time! and have since went right back for 2 more track days at later dates an i am addicted! Haven't wanted to even take the bike out on the street anymore! Although i am having problems with the bike now an haven't ridden in FOREVER! LMAO

So when you going again KILLA............I am still waiting to lose my virginity. I just need a new back tire and brakes bled. I see there is one with Team Pro Motion on 9/13 and 9/21. I will still ride in the streets, beats staying home cutting the grass!!!!:arsenal

haha. i heard its a great time... i have been wanting to go take some classes to ride better, but dont know where to find anything like that! I also want to learn how to get REALLY low! i seen this old dude on a busa hit the turns harder then anyone i know and his arm fat was flapping in the wind he was going so damn fast! it was sick. at first he was just cruising like 20 mph, and i went to go pass him and he just took off, i could barely keep up with him in the turns!! I thought a few times he was going to end up in the bushes he took them so low! I really want to improve on whatever skills i have and i heard trackdays are the only way!! anyone know any 1 on 1 lessons?

Don't sleep on those old dudes on what looks like a slow bike!!! Experience is the key. I don't know how long you have been riding, but you will find yourself getting better every year. The track is the best teacher no doubt. You will have to take the school which is madatory for a first timer. They will teach you proper technique. You will learn more in one track day than 3 years of street riding.:thumbup: BUT in the streets you will always come across guys who are faster in the corners. What people fail to forget is familiarity with the road. Even on the track, you ride around it a few times before you go BALLS out!!!!:clap:
