But it’s still no substitute for the track

I have moved to an Adventure Bike for the street. Must say it’s a pretty good way to roll if the street is all you have. You can’t go but so fast which keeps you out of trouble. But riding on big wheels with skinny tires helps give you a sense of being near the limit, which keeps it entertaining. Plus it’s cool to be able cruise into unpaved areas.

  Curvy country backroads are a poor substitute once you've experienced a true race track.  However, they do keep the edge off if approached properly.  I know it's basically sacrilege to say this on here but, this is where Harley's and other "cruiser" bikes come into play.  Sport bikes IMHO don't belong on the street.  At least not if I'm riding it.  There might be a small percentage of folks that can stay within the law on one but I'm not one of them.

yeap, i gravitate towards my harley when i go into the garage.   My zx10 goes from zero to graveyard quickly.  my harley gives plenty of warning before it gets too fast lol

I love my 696 pogo stick

I ride enduro also.  Brushy mountain is open

New,never mounted Metzeler RaceTec RR K2 compound (tire used in the Isle of Man TT) 180/60 sizes. The K2 compound is medium. I have a few available in Richmond VA or can bring to a PRE event with deposit beforehand. $180 a piece. Retail is $300+.

If you buy more than one, price will drop by $10 a piece, so two will be 2 x $170 = $340, and so on. That's nearly 50% savings over retail.

If interested please text me 804 502 7096 for fastest response. Located in Richmond VA.

Thanks,

Thanks Taylor!

Hello Harry,
We definitely hope this event and all other events go as scheduled, I think it’s safe to say everyone here is eager to back on the track!!
Unfortunately the COVID 19 and how each state is addressing it is like predicting the weather....😐
We will let all registered riders know as soon as possible of any changes to our scheduled events.

We’re glad your interested in PRE and hopefully we will be at the track soon!!!

Happy lockdown everyone!
Over the winter I've been diligently working away on my SV650 race bike conversion.  Well, it's all ready and I'm all ready, but there's this small problem going around right now.  I'm planning to ride with this group this year as you have some great dates!  Has there been any indication of when we will be able to get back on track? I see the 5/30 is the first date on the calendar.  Do we think that will happen?
Thanks and stay safe!
Harry

Track time is the only way I can get the speed rush out of my system. When I don't get it, I start riding like a hooligan on the streets. When I do get some track time, I'm calm and ride like an old man on the streets again.

I have a dual-sport that I can take to the woods and do hooligan things, but those places are all closed, too. Hard to believe that the woods are closed! I can't get any more distant than that!
