ama146 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Has anyone else done this before? I don't have a street bike anymore and I don't know if I can waste another precious day like today without riding! How bad of an idea do you guys think it would be to take the track bike out just for a little bit (30 mins maybe) and stay close to my house? I am ITCHING to take advantage of today!

TSB67 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Between equipment violations, unregistered vehicle and lack of insurance, I'm sure the latter would cause you the most issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler524 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have been considering rigging up my integrated tail light on top of the tail and buying some mirrors with built in signals. I'd have to cut the front fairing to mount the mirrors. The only thing I would need is some type of headlight to be legal. My bike still has a good plate and insurance since I switched it over at the end of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7fx Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have done it into columbia station but that bike is loud and really will bring attention. Its really not worth getting it towed remember it doesn't have a kickstand lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 How does getting your bike impounded and potential jail time with all the things they could throw at you sound? Not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 do it at your own risk. i have operated track only vehicles on the roads more times than i can count, and never had an issue....but be aware of the risks before you do soalso - be warned that if its a "salvage" title bike, and not rebuilt or clean, it is a felony to operate it on the road.....much worse than not having insurance and equipment violations.not sure if your bike is clean, salvage, etc....just know a lot of track bikes are salvage title so thought it was worth mentioning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah it was a non-thoughtful idea. Clearly not worth it at all haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 unless you luckily have a cop friend that just happens to be on duty when you get pulled over (THANK YOU) don't even try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have taken a quick spin or two down the street in the subdivision a few times just to make sure the bike is operating ok before a track day. But, I would never think of exiting the subdivision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
