·If you could only choose one way to ride, which would it be? The street, or the track?
Here's my issue....Cleveland has crappy roads...After some recent events at work, it looks like i'll be completing my tour here which will be another three years. I've been pulled over twice in the past two months (no tickets, just warnings) and don't see the point in riding the street anymore....here's why:
1) Don't want to get another ticket (I'm not doing squidly stuff when i ride, just going a little faster than I should) and it's only a matter of time, when I get caught going way too fast. (There's not much else to do on long, boring straights...)
2) Any good roads are about 4 hours away
3) No one I know around here rides (probably becuase there is crap for roads), so it gets old riding solo.
I just signed up with NESBA and plan on going to Summit next month. I'm positive, i'll get addicted to the track...
SOOO...if it were up to you...would you get your fill of riding if you could just do track days once a month, or would you need to still ride street? I figure between gas, insurance, and any tickets, I'll end up spending more just to ride on the street. Or I could get rid of the RC, buy an older GSXR that's prepped for the track and get my fill that way....
I don't know, I'm just torn...I really can't afford two bikes (especially with the wife)...and the wife would rather I ride the track to keep me from getting tickets (and she knows its safer...without the SUV's and soccer moms)...
Thanks for reading this far....
