Skills Development / Track day for a cruiser
Last post by KrisCook - May 05, 2024, 09:06:16 PM
Of all the dumb-looking things, I think I'm about to top all the crazy things I ever did. Sportbike Track Time is putting on a Ladies First track day at Little Tally (Talladega Gran Prix Raceway),  on June 8.  I'm a 66 year old novice rider who'll be there on a Honda Rebel with old street tires.  What could possibly go wrong? 



That was a track day years ago






The bike I have now: A Honda Rebel 500



I really don't care how goofy I look - I am sure to come away from that day a better rider.  And that's what it's all about.  I think what keeps you young is risking looking like a fool to have an experience. 

One thing that makes me a little concerned is knowing my bones are becoming more brittle and if I fall off the bike I run an elevated risk of breaking things.  So wish me luck! 

Lawnmowwer (Rodney)is hauling me over there and will be my crew chief that Saturday.  That will help a lot because it's hard to do it all without a little support.  And the moral support will be priceless. 

Ladies:  Sign up!  I'll insert a link:
Ladies First - June 8 2024

I'd love to have all of the Motorcycle Alabama ladies there with me!

Quote from: Chuck & Susan on April 16, 2024, 07:41:13 PMI have really enjoyed the leisure ride around the state and seeing things and areas I didn't know existed. I strongly encourage others to do the same, no matter if it takes years. Just get out and go enjoy the ride. And ride safe!!

Hear, hear!  That's the spirit of this site.
Thanks for sharing the adventure.
