Author Message   G234146 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 02:15 pm:        Hello BWB'rs, As a Newbie, I figured I'd better work on getting some skills to match my bikes abilities. I'm renting their bikes this time(I'd hate to drop it on the track, Mr. Darkhorse: u will hear from me soon!). Anyone else attending?   Ivanski Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 09:35 pm:        Be careful your bike isn't too loud. This may sound funny but, last year the owner of Santa Barbara's Ducati shop was kicked off the track because of his modified exhaust. The Laguna Seca raceway has noise restrictions placed on it all but a dozen or so times a year (usually reserved for Grand-Am, Moto GP, & classic auto races) Bring your stock can just in case...FYI Ivanski   Jon Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 09:57 pm:        I believe he said he was renting their bike...so he doesn't have to worry about the exhaust note.   Ivanski Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 10:37 pm:        my bad. should've read that a little closer Ivanski   Diablobrian Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 11:02 pm:        Congrats, welcome to Badweb. Track school is one of the best and most cost effective ways to make you and your bike faster. As an added benefit it'll make you a safer rider too. Go there with an open mind, and be prepared to have some misconceptions corrected. Listen carefully to the instructors and the on-track instructors and don't let ego cheat you out of a lesson. I have never met you and this is not a personal thing, just a general observation based on things I have seen, and been guilty of. Good luck, and enjoy!   Skyguy Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 11:33 pm:        I have done quite a few Track Days at Willow Springs and I got to say you will never go as fast on the street again lol.   Vaneo1 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 02:25 pm:        sky, can you elaborate on that? Youve got my attention, I have never done a track day and I want to know is there somnething you learned about street speed?   G234146 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 09:23 pm:        Thanks for the welcome and for the advice. I'm blown away by the passion that the BWB'rs have. It's contagious! "Excellence by definition is a deviance from the norm." Erik and Y'all are definitely a bunch of DEVIANTS!
