It would be a collective opinion, on who can ride and who cannot on the track from the following track days. Your discover and sure ride if it has proper tyres and in general track ready condition. So nothing is fixed as of now my friend.


PS: If I know I cannot swim. i would keep my as$ off the pool. Just a friendly reminder.

I would suggest not to have more than one track day per month..I know the bug gets in good. There's more to a track day other than simply riding on track. One has to check all the vital stats of his bike before and after every run, many (mind you, not all) first timers over shadow this aspect as they get distracted with all the excitement.

It would be preferable to have a dedicated mech at the pit,so that after every run or so, he cud do his thing and ensures everyone and every ride is in good condition for the next run.

Overall what i am trying to stress is, dont let your excitement judge when the next track day should be.think about it..Should make sense..

Cheers!

If you have the data-cable for the Cam and have WinXP or above installed, just plug and play windows already has the driver for the cam.

I'm not sure about the 28th of March. It'll come down to when I'm going to be having my semesters, but if I can make it, I surely will.

@wonderboy: I read your earlier posts. Bro, I never said NO to a mechanic. Please don't think I minded shelling out Rs.50 extra for the mechanic, especially seeing as I had a spill myself. I had juxtaposed the opinion as to whether it would REALLY be THAT necessary, but the conclusion that we came to was that it wouldn't be. I'm sorry, no offence meant there bro.

[Samyaza]

Alright i've got pics! I apologize beforehand to those people whose pics I couldn't take. I was out only for 30 mins and much more eager to ride. Some have a slight blur coz it wasn't my cam and I didn't know my way around it well. Next time I'll get better shots for sure

i cannot say that riding super slow is the first-timers attitude. Some take it slowly and and go up step by step. And a few learn only after they crash. My first time at the track, i ran off the track at c2 alone, four times. And crashed twice. Then slowly i've been visiting tracks and frequently crashing at the track too. I am not proud of it, but people who learn it my way would feel 'what an a$sho1e i was in the past'.

However, once a person rides on the track and tries to slow down on the public roads it would be difficult. So his outlet becomes the track. I bet on one thing, almost all the riders who attended the track session would want to come back and ride again on the track. Just because the track is a constructive vent for the aggression. And once people start racing, they learn to control that aggression.

On the whole, once the person gets to ride around the track at a decent pace, he or she wouldn't be foolish on public roads. The level of ego would come down drastically instantly iterating himself/herself to a better human being. Long live Bikism. I am forever in debt to biking !!!!
NO wonder Biking is considered a religion !!!!

I guess my point is clearly conveyed.

@all :I don't know about others. I will be at the track whenever i see fit. 3-4 months gap is too much. People who feel who want to ride at the track can call me anytime. Atleast 2-3 times i am at the track every month. So gimme a call and i will accompany anyone anytime.

Hi. Im sorry to say that this is the biggest load of crap i've ever read.

1. What is so embarassing about crashing? It happens all the time. Even the best crash. Its all part of it.
2. And what aggression? I find it therapeutic. I go on the track to enjoy myself. NOT to take out my anger. And, how the hell do you take your aggression out on the track?
3. Your point is not clearly conveyed. I've not understood squat of what you've said.

+1.. the track is the worst place for one to take out their aggression. One needs to be calm. Aggression is only going to make you ride "aggressivley" and endanger your self and others. Just like a over zelous orange RTR Fi rider who almost took me off the track when I over took him down the straight. A calm rider woulda let me go and take me out at a safer corner. Defo NOT THE PLACE FOR AGGRESSION
