congrats! take it easy as you'll have lots to learn on a first track day. the number 1 goal of every track day: leave with the bike looking like it did when you got there.



and so the addiction will begin....

So true. My bike hardly sees the street anymore. What a great time!

Wish I could go. I don't have the leathers though. Been looking around for a set so I can start some track days. Bad part is that I would need to have nearly any set I find altered. My shoulders and arms put me into a 48/50, but my the rest of me wants to be in a 42/44 to be comfortable.

Where about do you live? If your doing Talledega you can't be too far away from it. Try to get some pics.
