Track day -- 10/31 at streets

"The guy needs some help though...He'll be riding my bike, he needs some gear...so here's the scoop:"


Can I borrow the 675 for my next track day?  I promise to flog it hard and put it away wet when I'm done!

Guess I better sign up... Thanks for the nudge gm2. I have been slacking.

So you think I'll be ok in B group on a CRF450?

Yeah but I am   

Just wondering if they will get upset with somebody turning ~2 minute laps in the B group.

[gm2]

nah.  as long as you aren't riding like an a-hole, they don't care.  i see plenty of those bikes in all groups.

[MetalDuc]

Ok, I'm in. Any chance of bumming a ride from somebody? Any suggestions for cargo van rentals?

[GregP]

The crf is more than capable, especially at the Streets.  I'm no hero and I do a decent job of picking off liter bikes all day in the B group.  Most riders in the B group are wanna be's anyway!


Have a good time boys and girls.  It's Halloween so I have a date with my daughter for some tricks and treats!

I'm full up.
I generally get the van from Enterprise. Check the web for discount codes, I usually get it for 25-30 a day.

Thanks, found a 20% discount code and it comes to $37. Not bad. I assume the cargo vans have some sort of tie down points? If not how do you usually secure the bike(s)?

No mileage charge? Pretty good deal.

I use a homemade chock set-up. Its made from 2 Harbor Freight chocks mounted to a heavyweight piece of wood with D-rings attached. If you are in a van you need some sort of chock. I had the bike in the back of a truck without one but I don't think you can do it in a van.




The board is attached with tiedowns to the seat mounting points in the front and to random spots on the side (this depends on the van). In the picture, the orange straps are the ones that hold the board to the van. Between the straps and the weight of the bikes I've never had them slide. The van in that shot is from the first time we did it and the van only had 25 miles on it with a painted floor. We taped down an outdoor carpet remnant from home Depot to protect the floor. Most of the other ones have come with a mat.

Getting close!
