First Trackday


July 1st and 2nd I had the fortune of attending my first trackday(s). I attended Fishtail Riding School and it was everything I was hoping for; good amount of track time, great instructors and impressive teacher:student ratio. Both sessions were 2 students to 1 instructor and it provided excellent feedback.

I wasn't as nervous about riding on the track as I was about getting the bike to the track properly prepped and undamaged from the transport. Turns out prepping the bike wasn't nearly as difficult as I had feared. A little bit of tape and couple of pulled connectors and I was good to go. I'll probably wear leathers for my next trip, and I'll look into sliders for the 675 as well. I don't want to pitch the bike, but I can see how it happens.

I heard a rumor that your 675 can outrun a k1200gt...
