It's a good thing I didn't read that story until Spies rode for my beloved Yamaha. I wouldn't be able to like the guy.

You are entitled to your opinion but when you start trying to convince others you are 100% right that is where most of us have a problem..
I have no issues with you only liking one brand of bikes, good for you!
Now as far as adults talking, you are clearly out of the loop there, come on what are you really ?? 19, 20 ?? or is it 50 in troll years

No problem with the military, I did my time I just tire of kids who've been in the Navy for thirty seconds thinking they are king hoo haw it's honestly the only thing that annoyed me about moving up here, at least in Arizona the Army/Air Force brats knew when it was time to be quiet.

And you (And anyone else on this board under 30) ARE kids to A LOT of the guys that are posting in this thread. They are old as fuck greybeards who know a bit more than you.

Trust me. They don't charge way too much. The expense of renting the track, getting an ambulance out there, insuring the day, corner workers, feeding the crew, air horns, chalk boards, web sites, paypal fees, cell phone bills, and everything else that goes along with getting one of these trackdays going is extremely expensive. Just a couple people more or less is the difference between breaking even and losing your ass.

Some of us have flushed more salt water than you have ever seen. It's been a while since I have used that.

i don't agree with what people consider sports, its just another way for them to make millions in televising the races, once these guys make their millions they become bitchy whiny little girls....like nick hayden

I logged in just to say you are a dumbass. Track riding is a physically and mentally straining exercise for top-notch athletes. Try running decent laps consistantly for 20 minutes and you'd be approaching exhaustion--this is partially due to why there are so many crashes towards the end of track days.

NC05600RR reading your claims to fame it appears that you have absolutely no personal experiences to base your strong opinions on.. You might want to rethink what you spew, you couldn't be further from the truth kid.
Damn right, Dave.

I used to make fun of my buddy who races because he would come off the track and complain about being tired. He was racing 2 bikes in 3 classes. I was doing track days so I "knew what it was like" to be out there. And I wasn't tired at all. Then he went out with me and picked up the pace and I was trying to keep up. When I finally saw just how fast he was actually riding I was very surprised. I was riding in the slower group then. Now I'm racing. I'm still not as fast as him but I am WAY faster than I was before. And now I know why he was tired. I could fall asleep riding out with the C group. Not to knock any C group riders. But there is a big difference between riding in the C group or even B group sessions compared to the A group.

You are entitled to your opinion. But I think if you were fast enough to be riding in the B group, let alone the A group, you would have a different opinion.

And the real kicker is the A group is NOTHING compared to the pace the MOTOGP guys are running.

I want to point out that when I am going as fast as I can, but am not relaxed, Iget exhausted. When I can relax, I go much faster and with less energy. I think the work out part is that we are fighting ourselves.


Edit: Your mind is the most powerful tool for going fast, not your body.

No... you have not by your own admission all you've done is a track day and a track day is NOTHING compared to race day. Hell a track day is nothing compared to race PRACTICE. You have ZERO experience racing so you have no idea what it feels like even in a 12 lap race at club race pace let alone what the guys in MotoGp feel like after 25 laps.

I played varsity soccer all 4 years of high school on a team that went to conference championships 3 out of 4 years. I needed focus, endurance and agility to do it.

To race I need... Imagine that focus, endurance and agility. You don't pull race times just cruising around the track and dragging knee doesn't mean you're fast.

I'll go ahead and define athlete for you again..

ath·lete Listen to the pronunciation of athlete Listen to the pronunciation of athlete
Pronunciation:

it was a joke you idiot...and from the 3 times i have been to the track has made me a better rider on the street, like i said this is what i felt when i rode the track, im not a motoGP guy and i can only imagine the focus they need to race, my point is anyone can be a good racer with the right tools, and this is retarded arguing over something so stupid, i made a statement i believe in, i don't give a shit what you think you have your opinions and i have mine...end of story. i played varsity baseball went to state champoinships and won 2 out of 4 times.

like i said if i had the time and money i would definately spend it going to the track. 3rd weekend of august i will be at the track getting a run in before deployment...

Doesnt it make sense though that If I spent all day, everyday playing and practicing football or soccer that I would become much better? And If I practiced enough I could become a pro? That doesnt make a football or soccer player any less of an athlete.
