my insurance covers track days because it considers them driving schools because they are noncompetitive.

SHIT that thing burned good.


but the whole time watching that im thinking "why the fuck doesnt the other guy pick up his bike", i'm not gonna let it sit on its side for that long and risk fucking up some fluids or leaking battery acid or some crazy shit.

I'd be on that shit and get my bike away from that burning pile of shit.

This is old news. My sliders are on the way.

Correcto. And they do work. There are three options out there right now. I'm going for the traxxion tank sliders. Since my bike is black, they don't look too terrible. They deal on ebay, the sliders sell for 120 plus 10 shipping Here.

The ETI sliders are 180 bucks... you'll want to paint them as well
Here.

The adrenaline city racing ones are 100 bucks Here.

Here is a pic of some traxxion sliders that saved a guy's bike in a pretty bad crash... it was at like 120mph IIRC.

Excellent post.

How the fuck is your insurance 5k a year? Mine is like 750 bucks and extremely comprehensive.
