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:

I'd love to have all of the Motorcycle Alabama ladies there with me!
Sounds good except for pretty much everything you said.  ---Brian A
