I arrived at Castrol Raceway's road course confident and ready to ride, having just successfully completed Justin Knapik's On Track Performance Race School less than 24 hours earlier. In seemingly no time at all, my intermediate group received a five-minute warning, and in the time that it takes to start your bike, put on your helmet and gloves and line up, I was out on the track.]]> https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/street-to-track-blog-track-days-part-ii/feed/ 0 Leod Escapes invites riders to “Choose the Dream” and win a trip! https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/leod-escapes-invites-riders-to-choose-the-dream-and-win-a-trip/ https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/leod-escapes-invites-riders-to-choose-the-dream-and-win-a-trip/#respond Thu, 10 Nov 2016 22:17:41 +0000 https://dev.insidemotorcycles.com/leod-escapes-invites-riders-to-choose-the-dream-and-win-a-trip/ https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/leod-escapes-invites-riders-to-choose-the-dream-and-win-a-trip/feed/ 0 Trevitt’s Blog: What’s a Qualifying Tire Worth? https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/trevitt-s-blog-what-s-a-qualifying-tire-worth/ https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/trevitt-s-blog-what-s-a-qualifying-tire-worth/#respond Tue, 06 Sep 2016 19:23:50 +0000 https://dev.insidemotorcycles.com/trevitt-s-blog-what-s-a-qualifying-tire-worth/ At the final rounds of this year's Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship series, held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Dunlop offered qualifying tires to the top 10 riders for a separate, 15-minute final qualifying session. This was new for many of the competitors, as qualifying tires have not been used in the series for several years. Jeff Williams was one of the riders in the top-10 session, and I was able to get some data from the Accelerated Technologies Honda CBR1000RR that he was riding for the weekend.

While momentary consideration was given to acquiring a bike specifically for track days and club racing, there was never really any doubt that it would be anything other than my trusted 2006 Honda CBR600RR taking this new adventure with me.

There is no question you have to be smooth to ride a 260-horsepower MotoGP bike, but the same can be said of any motorcycle.
