Hi everyone,
I'm looking into doing my first track day. Probably through Z2's novice school since they're pretty highly reviewed. I spoke with David earlier and renting a suit from them because my olympia street gear just isn't up to the task.
I guess my question is should I just buy a cheap, set up bike for it, and sell it if I don't love the track, or do I just run my MT-09. I know it's not a great track bike. I just want the experience of taking a bike on the bike, learning some new things, and having a good day. I don't want to destroy my street bike or even particularly push it.
I did look into renting a bike from Feel Like a Pro, but with the $350 rental, $75 fee to cap my damages, and up to $1000 in damage, I'm looking at $1425 in repairs and rental. I can fix anything on my bike for that.
What are everyone's thoughts? How often do people actually destroy their bike on the first day and have experience in the canyons?
Thank you!
