i wish i could, but unfortunately im stuck in the the quad cities and teh closest track is in the chicago area,  the QC is the easten middle apart of iowa (I-80 runs through her)  and my truck ('77 3/4 ton gets about 8 miles to the gallon and cost 40 bucks to fill up so i cant really afford to drive there every weekend  if anybody knows of a track thats closer that would be awesome,   but i think im giogn to have to wait til i move down to Vegas next year before i can get to a track...
thats why im practicing on the streets for now, figure if i can drag on crappy roads then teh track should be that much easier to ride

Hey Everett,
 You really should make your way to Blackhawk Farms, Its a great track, I'm sure you heard it a million times but the streets are not made for going fast. I was the fastest guy around on the street, Loved the twisties, After I lowsided into a funeral home parking lot I made my way to the track. Since then I have sold my street bike cause it was to dangerous!  ;)

its transportation to the track, also i dont even have my bike preped for the track    this summer i will make a trip up there

You can ride to the track, remove the mirrors, tape a few items and be ready to ride.  A track day isn't racing, and it's a good opportunity to try things out.  

Might motivate you to do more, or it might show you that there's a lot that you don't know.  You might be surprised on how little you really can explore on the street.  Errors on the street are can be expensive and painful.  The enviornment of a race track really will open your eyes.  But you have to make that decision.

Roads suck.  You have to get to the track.  Marc (Mr. Whitney - AKA Starsky) help this guy out.  Haul his stuff to RA of BHF so we can learn him on the knee dragin' thing ( along with the beer suckin' thing of course).
