| Riding in New York The highway department is still filling feet-deep potholes left by the last winter, leaves already start to turn red again, and you really, really need to try out the additional 10 horses recently set free by a pair of new high-compression pistons. So, how about signing up for a track day? Its fun, way safer than pushing luck on your favorite country road, and you get a nice bike show right there in the pits. But prepare yourself: It will likely reveal your ranking in the world of speed. Fees start at about USD140 for a day. Here are some nearby tracks and organizers of track days. This list is not meant to be comprehensive. |

Different parts of the tri-oval are combined with infield sections to generate what is called Pocono East and the FUSA course. The first is relatively narrow and bumpy, just the right thing to show that 70HP can move almost as fast as 140. Quite the contrary, the FUSA course is wickedly fast! Several organizers run here: California Superbike School and North East Sportbike Association (www.nesba.com) |
Just North of Pittsburgh, BeaveRun MotorSports Park is a very nice place for motorcycles and you will certainly improve your ability to go around RIGHT turns. Finding a good line through the 180 degree right hander at the end of the back straight would make a good topic for a master thesis. Organizers include NESBA (www.nesba.com) and Sportbike Track Time (www.sportbiketracktime.com). |
On over 700 acres, conveniently located to Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC, New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) offers an incredible amount of diverse and dynamic motorsports attractions. Included in just the first phase of this tremendous facility are 2 world class road courses: Thunderbolt and Lightning. |
From novice, intermediate and advanced riders, you'll learn cornering skills, visual skills, body position, throttle control, steering input, lean angle and entry speed. Brush up on line selection and traction management. |
