Track Day - "A Good Thing"

I had my first track day 3 weeks ago; took my '06 Thruxton down to Summit Point WV. WHAT A BLAST. Out of 80 or so bikes, I was one of perhaps 3 bikes that had a license plate! I couldn't believe all these guys (and gals) had race-only bikes (or maybe just trucked them in?). I rode my down to the track.

WOW THAT WAS FUN.

Pic attached. Yeah, I know my line sucked in that pic, but it sure as hell was fun!

And yeah, I'm going back. As I'd like to keep the wife, I'll be limiting myself to once a month at the track. Until, you know, I go more ;-)

In a few of the pics, it looks like the side kick stand will be the first to scrape the pavement. Does that make sense? I always thought it would be the foot-rest-chrome-peg that sticks off the bottom. Anyway, scrapped my boot twice but not the metal parts.....

What a blast.
