And this. I don't like having to worry about doing anything at the track except unload, tech inspect. and ride.

I have a MAJOR problem keeping my speed down after having done a track day or two or four. Your whole perception of how fast you are traveling it totally skewed. It is a wonder I haven't getting a ticket or anything. How the f* do I explain that one to the cop? Yeah right!

I vote for finding a way to haul the bike there versus riding.
