SYMC0X Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I did around 2 months worth of biking before attempting Cadwell.. I would say after you pass your test and get a big bike to learn to control the machine and as soon as you are confident on it and start to find yourself wanting to go faster on the road get a day on track booked..

Just ride as quick as you would on the road if you are that worried about coming off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takanta Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 aint worried about coming off lol ,just worried about how much my hip joint would play up if i did end up coming off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYMC0X Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 well thats what I mean, if your worried about what if you come off and your hip plays up then why ride on the road. Just stick to road speeds on the track and you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitano Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 [old bloke] Back in my day we didn't have track days, we went production racing if we wanted track time. More specifically "we" went production racing on a cheaply obtained ex racing Suzuki X7 at least a year after the Yamaha LCs hit the tracks...and what a blindingly good decision that was!! Strangely I have no desire to go and do a track day these days. [/old bloke] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 aint worried about coming off lol ,just worried about how much my hip joint would play up if i did end up coming off though Iv come off plenty of times and been ok, thing is 9/10 times if you come off its on the low side, so when i come off i only fall about a foot so not too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmaster Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Being a cruiser type as opposed to throwing it round a track type, it's not for me. My preference is to get there safe not get there fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine the two. Get there quickly and safely Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
