Default twonha on track!
Hello Kitty Racing @ Ecuyers, july 2012

The Circuit des Ecuyers has become a more than yearly tradition for me and my trackday friends. I went in May this year and just booked again for late August. We went two weeks ago, and here's the results!

The riders:
- Yamaha YZF 750R (me, #58)
- Suzuki GSX-R 750
- Kawasaki Z1000
- Ducati 749
- Yamaha R1

We had another pal going with us, but he's keen on privacy so he's not shown. We got ourselves a tent now, which is really nice when you're relaxing between sessions. The weather was absolutely terrific for both days of the weekend, so I had an awesome time with the YZF!




First three minutes are lining up, then five minutes of this bike following my slow ass around, the rest is the GSX-R750 on its own blasting along Ecuyers.






There's no timekeeping for most of these weekends, so it's just... Enjoy, have fun, and we did!

PM sent!

The track isn't very fast, it's 3.5 kilometers filled with corners. Top speeds are just over 200 kilometers an hour.

Wow, looks like allot of fun. Ive always been a little scared of those 2-wheeled rockets, I wont lie, but I bet riding with you and your lot would be pretty safe and lots of fun. I was driving to work the other day and heard this strange noise and then saw a black blur on left side and my whole car shook. It was some sort of race bike pinning it down the state highway I was on. Exhilirating, but one mistake and he would have been toast.

Ever since we started track riding, we've barely ridden on public roads together anymore... So yeah, on public roads, motorcycles carry inherent risk, but on a circuit it's all the fun of pushing to the limit, without any of the risks that come with public roads. Such a different world...

Even on a track you can still throw a chain, blow a tire, run over a large rodent that appears out of nowhere, etc. The only substantial risk that's fully removed is encounters with automobiles.

Which reminds me—I need to check the tension on my chain. /instant paranoia/

Those aren't risks that come with the public road, they come with your bike.

I mean the whole flurry of stuff like cars, cyclists, pedestrians, animals (no, they will not march onto a track where 40 bikes are racing), people coming from the left or right, oncoming traffic, traffic lights, traffic jams, dirty roads, no run-off areas, lightposts, sidewalks... They're all gone. You can still crash and hurt yourself, it's still dangerous, but at least on track you'll crash in peace.

Basically, this:
