First time I ever road a street bike was in April, bought the 6 in June and did my first trackday in January. I'd say track days are for anyone that has a level head.

Re: Are tracks safe for street riders?

So I've been planning to do my first track day for a while now but have been wondering about how much cash to bring? For things such as repairs if I crash or any other unexpected costs? Also how many street miles are to many on my tires, I think I have almost 2k

Being a broke college kid ill explain how to do it the cheap way.
Once you have gas price and the price of the track day its easy.
10- gate fee
20.-electric hook up
20- suspension.
Food and water. Those prices vary depending on the track
Basically thats it. You can spend a lot more and bring a lot more but that covers basics.
Your tires depend on tread wear. I had about 7k street miles on mine and they said they looked fine. Plenty of tread on the sides.

All that only costs 50 bucks?! Thats awesome. But when you say 20 for suspension that means they'll just check it out or set it up for me? Cause that would be epic!
