Looks like fun. Anybody want to post some details?

Like how much did it cost? What equipment was required? How much did you have to do in the way of safety modification to the bike? Were there any basic skill requirements?

There are at least a couple of ways to get on the track. One is 'track days'. Provides minimum instruction and normally groups folks into novice, intermediate, and expert. There are typically tech requirements for the bike, the throttle must close by itself, good brakes and clutch action, tape off lights, remove mirrors, etc. Locally these run $125-$175/day. The other option is 'track schools'. Like Keith Code's Superbike School, Jason Pridmore, and others. I just attended a Keith Code school at Barber Motorsport and it was an absolute blast in addition to the learning aspect. About $450/day if you use your own bike. The instruction was excellent, worth every cent plus riding on Barber is a hoot. I've heard Freddie Spencer's school is $2,000.

I've got one planned for the 22nd of august @ Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

+1 on taking a riding school. I did Reg Pridmore's @ Willow two weeks ago. Sooo worth the $300. CLASS tours from track to track all over the US.

More details here.

It was also featured in this tight documentary, .
