Sleep is crucial. My last track day, I was so tired by the end of it, I had a buddy drive me home. I was still going on adrenaline , but once that wore off, I could barley hold my head up.

Lowcel , you'll do just fine. Biggest thing I can tell you is to come ready to learn, and be open minded. I learned more in my first track day , than I did in 5 years of riding on the street .

I had shinko Ravens on my fz1 when I first got the bike. They were rock hard, and no matter what , the rear didn't hook up. I personally wouldn't run them on the track. Just my own personal experience though.

I said someday, not today..lol

Here's mine

Ron, I'll sell you mine ... :-P

My gytr slip on resides on my garage wall and generally only gets used for track days. I have a Leo Vince sbk on it right now, and it's not bad at all. Truthfully, I keep the stock muffler on it 9 times out of 10. The bike runs fantastic with the ivans jet kit and the stock muffler. It runs even better with the Leo Vince.

Nice bikes, I have the same slip on for mine.

I will be there as well. It will most likely be the first track trip on the SV. Should be fun. I'm registered for novice, and will be tech ready for I if need be. 

fantastic bike, at a fantastic price. Seems like no one has any love for the fz1. When I had mine listed, I didn't even get an offer. 

welcome from troy! 

Sorry for those who have lost family members, I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I dig the grom racing for a grom!

Let me grab my leathers, I'll be there!

If only you wanted to trade for a katana in a mild state of disassembly...

Or an fz1

Love these!!

3500 Obo or trade

yanked the craigslist ad, but thought I would post the info-

Ohlins OES kit in front forks,

Penske double rear shock (currently set up for 175 lb rider),

Factory option larger wind screen, and I have a national cyles 22" windscreen  

Braided brake lines,

Sargent seat.

I don't think I'll get off the street all together. Although I really want a gen 2 sv650 for the street. I just haven't been Able to part with the fz1 yet.

Anyone have any advice for a first timer at mid ohio?

I did my first two track days on the fz1 and that's all it took. Did two track days within a month of each other. Within two months after that I purchased a second bike.... I hear it's a slippery slope from here...

I'd really like a gen 2 sv , or a dual sport

I'm pretty sure I tried to contact that guy back when I bought my first gen and never got any response. 

are you ready for the addiction ?

depending where you are at, I've seen guys get on the track day org forums, and ask around about ride sharing. Most guys are willing to share a trailer spot for splitting fuel costs. Depending where you are from me, and when you would want to go, I'd be willing to do the same. 

i picked up a black 02 SV650n lat year in march for s first bike for 2k with only 54xx on it! i thought about selling it  this year for a 600rr or 636, but i keep thinking i would miss it too much and regret letting it go. 

do some track days- learn to ride the sv. It will be much more forgiving and fun. IMO.
