ill take 15 to 20 min of track riding over weeks of street riding any day.
welcome to the fun OP, and nice looking bikes
Thanks mate, and yea tbh i have never done any track riding. Looks like il have to get my ass signed up for a wee track day and see what all the fuss is about!
I'm glad you said that now as i thought it was mabye just the tracks over here. It was working out around 3 15 minute sessions. Just didnt seen that much but i suppose your right. Think im just that used to being flat out everywhere on my wee 125 it will be alot more work throwing the R6 about a track.

The best part of it bro, is that you can learn as much in one day on a race track as you can in one season of riding.

Yea that is a good point mate, and im always willing to learn something new. It was the fact it didnt seem like you actually got much riding that was putting me off, didnt really seem worth it but as that seems to be the norm im definitely gona give it a go...

Every track day I've ever been to has given me at least 7 15-minute sessions in a day.

I learned more in my first track day than in the 3 years of street riding before it.

When I used to be able to afford tires for full days and was a real go getter about picking up my pace, I would do 100+ miles every track day.

I learned quickly how slow I was!!! I learned more in a half day at the track than 5000 miles of street riding when I started!
By the looks of things track days are the way forward. Gona look at seeing if i can talk a few mates into going on a wee roadtrip to England in the summer as there is alot more options available that are alot better value than whats on offer where i am.
