I Hate Track Days!!!!
All I do is think about the actual track day the days leading to them and get absolutely no work done. Then after the track day, all I do is think about how awesome track day was that day and get no work done. Then the cycle begins all over again. Uggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

I HATE TRACK DAYS!!!!



BTW, I have a track day this Saturday (05/14/2005)



This s!$% is worse than a crack or heroine addiction (not that I would know first hand).

Well at least it is time well spent. Beats thinking about bills, your pregnant and mucked up step-daughter, POS car breaking down on ya.

"Not that I would know about these things".

Sweet distraction.

Re: I Hate Track Days!!!!
The worst part is that after only two trackdays I have no intrest in riding on the street anymore. The straight-ass roads around here have lost all of their appeal.

That's why I need to sell my 929 and buy a trackbike!

I'm sorry, did you say something. I was day dreaming about (insert track event here).

Just don't even think about racing. It's the same, only you'll max out every credit card you own, try to sell your blood (only to find out you need it after that last getoff), become an outcast among your friends and family and possibly win a stupid plaque or two . . .

Re: I Hate Track Days!!!!
I know that as soon as I get on a track things will be different... Like I said to my brother (phobiaphobe) after his crash, we have it backwards... My dad, him, and myself went in 3 ways on an SV-650 for a track bike while we ride our Fireblade and RC-51 on the street... seem backwards to anyone else?

I spend more time in my garage working on my track bike than I spend with my wife. I am trying to sneak more track days in than the allowed limit. I'm waiting for her to go on travel for work during a Monday or weekend so I can sneak in some track days. I'm going to apply for a new credit card and have it (and the bills) sent to work or my parent's house so she won't know of the track days I have done behind her back.

The "outcast" transition has begun for me!!!!
