Yes, they really do limit the size of the bike. My DRZ, being one of the heavier bikes out there felt a little to big for that track... I would think your RT would not be to fun out there... it's really, realy tight.


I'm ready to give that track a try..... biggrin.gif

I just need to learn how to ride mine like this guy. Funny enough this cop is from Rancho Cordova. Its amazing to think my bike is capable of this, but I guess after a whole lot of practice it can be done.

I love watching those bike rodeos - that guy sure does know how to control the friction zone very well!

Well then I guess I will have to wait until the local beemer group rents out Thunderhill for the day. I could open it up there. I have heard you can really improve your riding skills after a track day. I always wanted to take the keith code riing school but never had the money I could put towards it.

That is wicked!

And here I thought the Mikey and Vinnie on OCC tricked out and souped up their scoots pretty good but that picture is way cool.

If you see me dragging a knee on scooter with a sidecar on a track then it wouldnt be a pretty picture. However, I'll take the vespa and race you on your scooter. lmaosmiley.gif
