Thank you. I have never done a track day so I think novice is the way to go. If I show up and someone tells me to move up next time then wonderful. If not then that is fine to. I just want to learn, have some fun, and be able to drive home afterwards. So will I have time to plug the tire warmers in between the track and the class?

I just donated another $500 to them this evening.

Thank you, I certainly appreciate it. This is what it looked like when I purchased it the beginning of December. It has surely seen better days but it will get the job done (I hope). A few cans of spray paint and a little bit of time playing around with the vinyl cutter made a pretty big difference. Granted, some people have told me it looked better before, I still like it better the way it looks now.

If I had places that would mount for $20 I probably would be too.

Thank you. I am very, very happy with the ZX6R.

34 is my go to short ride. I grew up less than 2 miles off of 34 and only live about 15 minutes from Kenna where it heads over to Red House. I also ride bicycles on that road pretty often. My usual riding is in the Hawk's Nest and Spencer area. Around here the roads have too many holes, debris, traffic, and cops. I don't ride overly dangerous but I would be lying if I said I didn't "occasionally" go a little over the speed limit.

I bought the tools to do it myself. I figured I could buy the tools for less than it would cost to have four tires mounted.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sorry, don't know who / what SCR is. I have a few different routes that I enjoy but I am always willing to learn new ones.

I wish it was the same in my area. I was quoted $45 per tire if I buy the tire from the shop, $85 if I bought the tire somewhere else. They did say they would knock $5 off each if I removed the wheels.

Will do. Thanks.

Summit is a little under 5 1/2 hours from me. Nelson is 4 hours, PIRC is about 4 1/2 hours. I'll have to check those tracks out and their schedules. I know nothing about them.

I'm in the Charleston, WV area.

I have actually raced mid-ohio twice on road bicycles. It's an amazing place. After 10 or 15 laps the little uphill towards the end of the lap was a nightmare. Putnam is about 6 1/2 hours from me, about the same as Summit. I plan on hitting Summit once or twice this year, I may have to make a trip to Putnam as well.

My track bike came with slicks so I plan on using those. I just don't see a reason to buy tires when I already have some good ones.

Is Mid-Ohio pretty beginner friendly? I plan on doing some track days there this year and I don't really know what to expect. From the sounds of it I will stay busy. I'm assuming I'll just have time to ride, park the bike and put tire warmers on, then go to a class room, then do the same thing over and over again. Is that about right?

Howdy ya'll. Thought I would take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Bruce and I am from the Charleston, WV area and I am 38 years old. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 5 years old however I have only been riding street bikes since I was 26. I started on cruisers then switched to sport bikes when I was around 30 years old. I took a couple of years off due to knee surgeries and I have been back into it for around a year now. I am hooked on the sport / hobby more now than ever. I have never done a track day but I plan on changing that soon. I hope to do at least one a month starting in April. I made a couple of trips to the Tail of the Dragon in 2013 and while there I decided that I really want to get better and the only "safe" way that I know to do that is at a track. Anyway, most forums I am on appreciate pictures so here they are, my two bikes. Track bike - 2004 CBR600RR Street bike - 2013 ZX6R
