Thanks for your diligent work. You've done a fine job over they years keeping the BS off this site.

One hundred RR, eh? You must be so fast.

Even my daughters ride 110s.

Where do you draw the line though? Intermediate riders are in the thunder dome. Riding with people fresh out of novice and people on the cusp of advanced group. It's arguably the riskiest group to ride in. Some simple additional requirements is a no-brainer. Literally all of the options are easy, drill yourself, buy a pre-drilled bolt, or silicone. How long does it honestly take someone to put a glob of silicone on a bolt? If someone isn't willing to do some simple things, what's that say about their other maintenance habits? I don't want those kind of lazy people riding on track tbh.

Uh that’s not new. I’ve been riding midohio since 2009 and coaching there since 2015. Wiring the drain plug, filler cap and filter has always been in place and for good reason. Honestly the requirements are right in line with all of the other big players in the track day industry.

I am betting @MidgetTodd bought it.

LOL no I've never had to do that. Telling someone "hey man come to the track and spend a couple hundred bucks to see if you like it" is an easy sell. I always bring extra tape to help clueless newbs, get at least one/year. Telling someone "oh yeah, you have to drill holes in some stuff, get safety wire and pliers, remove mirrors, etc" is a major turn-off. LEANTD or whatever only requires that stuff in advanced. Mid ohio has plenty of problems with infrastructure and management, the increasing tech requirements and price can't be helping. And no weekend days is LOL. Also, sorry to inform but the 4/19 mid ohio day has just been cancelled

There are plenty of pull off on the Dragon for drivers to pull off momentarily to allow bikes/cars to pass. And please ask her to signal and use the pull offs and she will be thanked by all riders. Trucks for the most part stay away but you never know when some dumb shit that fails to read the truck warning signs and proceeds thru. Tell her to enjoy and talk smack about how she tamed the 129 Dragon!!😃
