Track Bikes

I know we have some members who partake in track events.  Let's see what you ride now or in the past.

 

I didn't buy the Ducati Monster for the track, but it ended up there on several occasions.

 

Next came the Honda Fireblade which was purchased with the track in mind...amazing power.

 

The KTM RC390 was also purchased for track use...light weight with great handling.

 

The latest, a Triumph Daytona 675, was picked up about a year ago.  It took a few minor modifications to make it more track-friendly, and the results have been very satisfying. 

 

The final picture is a vanity shot from a Spring Mountain Motorsports in Pahrump, NV a couple of weeks ago..

Any kind of track is good as long as you don't want me ride my Daytona on your track.

I alternate taking my old, high mileage R90s and my slightly newer R1150RT to the track. I've had the R90s at Grattan and Mid-Ohio and the RT has only made it to Grattan.

 

I'm usually the slow guy but I'm not there to race, rather to work on my everyday skills, which I believe have kept me safe all these years.

I wish I had pics.  Right now, I've got a '13 ZX6r with horrible bodywork, and a KTM 1290 SDR that's a handful on the short track that I go to.
