First, it is a track day and not a race.

Just about any modern motorcycle will be more than adequate for taking out on the track. The goal of Novice is to make you a better and safer rider no matter what you ride.

Mid-Ohio is a great track but you may want to consider your first track day at Putnam Park. Sportbike Tracktime runs a good program and the track is a bit easier to learn on. STT also has a special intro program to help initiate riders into the sport.

Enjoy, and I highly recommend at a Novice day for anyone that rides.

I just finished my first track day with STT, up at Autobahn in Illinois. On a Ninja 500R. 

Those Zero-60 leather race suits on sale at Iron Pony are not Vanson, but they aren't junk, either. I, uh, used mine. And still had a great time!! STT rents race suits, too. 

Do it . . . you won't regret it, unless your insurance doesn't cover anything on a race track. (State Farm, for instance.)

I won a slot on Saturday. It was a blast, and I learned a ton!  

There is not really any info on either of the links/sites--either OR or Farrow's.

Thanks. Don't get me started singing its praises . . .

I'm sure we can find you a bike to go ride on!

Or maybe a snowmobile. I still have 2" of ice on my road.

That sounds kinda cool!
