:thumbup: to the fz6 as a street & track bike. You don't have to crash if you go to the track. 10 track days without incident! Ride your own ride!

Here's a couple shots from Loudon, NH

Yeah, at that point in the last picture the rear tire is doing the steering once everything has been set in the turn or so from what I've read.

Great point on going to the track, one will come away with much more skill and knowledge.

Now I just need to do it myself.

track day on the middle of the week

I really envy you guys, not only can do track days because there are tracks where you live, also you can do them in week days :spank::spank::spank:

Lone, great post .... gonna go watch the video on a PC later,

I was on a track couple of weekends ago on a 60 year old bike

And keep thinking that I should do a track day ..... I know the feeling when you get blasted by a bike that is much fast than you, but you are right about just relaxing and enjoying your own ride.

tbh, there's not many track days at the weekend, and they are usually more expensive

prices are starting to go down now that summer is over

nice video and pictures... the fz is a very capable bike on the track, and I have been enjoying track riding all summer on my 09 fz6, with 6 td's so far. Although it can handle the aggressive riding i dont think its the ideal bike as I scrape my pegs/boots on the ground all the time. With a few upgrades like rearsets, 520 conversion, and maybe stiffer sunspension the fz would be a great bike for the street or track.

For me, I amgetting into to riding just the track atleast for now so I'm looking for a dedicated track bike, hopefully an r6.

Every one should get out on the track tho, it will improve your riding, and you will be gauranteed to have a blast no matter what bike.

Great post Lone, I had plans of doing a track day around this time, I had called around and got general information about it but my incident happened before i could get to it. I am Still waiting on INS to see whats going to happened with damages. My wife or parents don't want me to get another bike but i don't know about that . But before i get back to riding i am going to do my best to do a track day first
