| 2-Up Track Days or Schools I know they have them in the UK, but does anyone know of a 2-up track school here in the US?

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools I think abtech said that at Grattan we could take our SO's/Kids around for a lap or two, if they had full gear. He can correct me if I'm wrong. |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools STT does a two-up session right after their lunch break, but it's the only one of the day. |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools Trackoholics also has a two-up session they offer, usually after lunch. It's gotten pretty popular as more and more riders are taking advantage of it. |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools Thanks guys...  I know Reg does an entire day with instruction, but it's only at Willow... Maybe one of these short sessions could be fun too...

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools Dont mind risking my own life, but dont want to be responsible for anyone elses! I never took my last GF for a ride on my bike (although she kept asking) as she had a 3 year old daughter that I didnt want to orphan! just kept using the excuse that I didnt have a spare helmet! |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools Last year when I was at Grattan, late in the day when only one other person was on the track they let a guy take his G/F out for a few laps. She was in full gear, of course. |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools To be honest I think you have to question the sanity of anyone who volunteers to ride pillion on a sports bike (any bike?) on a track. Might make an exception if Randy Mamola is at the controls, but on the back of YOUR bikes. Your kidding me , right? PS Bake, I've never seen anyone at a UK trcakday riding two up. Not certain, but I don't think it is allowed at all except maybe at Ron Haslam's track school. Last edited by Proto : 06-15-2004 at 8:29 AM. |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools I rode on the back of Reg Pridmore's VFR800 at Grattan back in '99. It was without a doubt the most valuable learning experience ever. |

| Re: 2-Up Track Days or Schools A lot us like to ride two up fast, and where better than the track? Reggie Pridmore, as far as I know, has the only day long two up event. He is not going to let you in until he has interviewed you and made a decision about your history, riding style, and partner. Unlikely he will let a kid passenger, and he is very picky about his two up students. Ernie |
