So i did my first track day @ Msrh with Ridesmart. I have to say i have never had so much fun on my bike and learned so much. The guys at ride smart are great, the instruction is awesome :notworthy:, I feel so much more comfortable on my bike in curves and with body position. Thanks Brandt for helping with my trackday and thanks Curt for all the great instruction.

Heres a video of me that curt was recording later on in the day.

Do you plan on doing more track days? Glad you had fun!!

If you plan on more.....are you still gonna leave your bike stretched?

my bike is not stretched. and yes i want to do another one.

Who am I talking about then? :shrug:I thought it was yours...I met you at the EZ last year, no? Am I mixing you up with someone else?!?! DAMMIT!:banghead: I'm so confused! I want answers, & I want them now!:rofl:

Heath's bike was previously stretched and lowered, but he put it back to stock length/height a couple weeks ago.

It looks like it is still lowered. If you put that back to stock, it will turn much easier. Coming out this Saturday?

Nice vid! I just did my first TD with RS at TWS. Learned more in 6 hours than the last 6 months of riding. I promise, riding on the street won't have the same thrill to it.....

It only takes 1 TD to wanna be a track-whore....

when I raised my bike back up it was like riding a whole new bike....a much better, more comfortable, smoother bike. I loved it & would never lower another bike again. You'll see!:nod:

& I didn't watch the video or I would have figured out it wasn't stretched anymore....but yea, at least I wasn't wrong & didn't have you confused with someone else!:keke:

i already no whats its like to not have a lowered bike, this isnt my first bike. and yeah i met you more then once. lol. my bike is no longer lowered or stretched or black :keke:
