When should you hit the track??

We generally recommend a year, and at least 3,000 miles of riding experience before riding on the track. For your first track experience, try to find an organization with classroom and on-track novice instruction, and small groups so you get a lot of one-on-one instruction. If you're not sure whether you're ready, see if you can do a two-up ride w/a friend at a track day. You'll have to have the equipment (leathers, helmet, boots, gloves) but it will give you an idea as to whether you really want to get out there.
