My very first Track Day.. Pics and Video's

[GS1000SNKS]

Spent the Day at Hallett. Only 3 riders all day. We got two 20 minute sessions each hour. I am worn out... here are a couple pics. Sorry about the sizing. Photobucket stinks.





The video's can be found on youtube.com

I hope to have the 1979 GS1000S Wes Cooley Replica and my 1972 GJ750J Water Buffalo done by next year to do this again. I'm also in the middle of redoing a 1983 GSX550ES for a track Bike.

Such a deal....a whole track almost all to yourself.....lucky man.

The vids are excellent and give you that seat of the pants experience. Love the sound of that Kaw spooling up. That Guzzi shakes like my old 6fiddy but looks like it smoothes right out on the throttle. I've never seen one outside of the bike shows but it looks like something I'd like to try.

I haven't done a track day yet but everytime I see something like this I get the itch....maybe next year ( if I can squirrel away the cash).

Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Spyug.

Man, that looks like fun. Those are both very awesome bikes to do it with, too.

Have you started a thread about your 550 trackbike yet? I would be stoked to see some pictures when you get it going. If its anywhere near as nice as your other bikes, its gonna be sweet!

Not yet but I will. I need to go thru the AHRMA rulebook and see what I can and can't do. I'm starting with a $150 1983 GSx550ES. It doesn't look like much. It runs, has a good title and is all there.

The Eddie Lawson sounded flat at the track. It was way lean as I found out later. Me and a couple of friends rented the track for 9 hours for $1100. But we shared it with 5 cars. We would run 20 minutes then the cars would run 20 minutes. We had an hour lunch and went back to riding. I was wore out by the time we were done.
