Why do so many here push the track to learn street skills? This makes no sense to me. How does going around the same 10 turns on a well groomed track teach the skills that are gonna be used on the street? I am by no means a fast guy on here but can keep up with almost everyone I have ridden with on here on a STREET ride. Take your time and ride with good riders to pick up tips on lines and stuff like body position. Then get some miles under you and learn the skills like avoidance and being able to react to the unknown. These are things no track day or school will teach you. Unless they started having gravel in the corners and trucks running over the yellow line at track days?
