Motorcycle Alabama

Of all the dumb-looking things, I think I'm about to top all the crazy things I ever did. Sportbike Track Time is putting on a Ladies First track day at Little Tally (Talladega Gran Prix Raceway),  on June 8.  I'm a 66 year old novice rider who'll be there on a Honda Rebel with old street tires.  What could possibly go wrong? 



That was a track day years ago






The bike I have now: A Honda Rebel 500



I really don't care how goofy I look - I am sure to come away from that day a better rider.  And that's what it's all about.  I think what keeps you young is risking looking like a fool to have an experience. 

One thing that makes me a little concerned is knowing my bones are becoming more brittle and if I fall off the bike I run an elevated risk of breaking things.  So wish me luck! 

Lawnmowwer (Rodney)is hauling me over there and will be my crew chief that Saturday.  That will help a lot because it's hard to do it all without a little support.  And the moral support will be priceless. 

Ladies:  Sign up!  I'll insert a link:
Ladies First - June 8 2024

I'd love to have all of the Motorcycle Alabama ladies there with me!

You GO Girl!!!! Enjoy and let us know how things go with pics.....

Go for it!  I'm sure you will have fun.  Tracks aren't just for sportbikes.  I've been on the track on a scooter.  This was at the Barber Small Bore a few years ago.

thats awesome ! absolutely yes go for it !

you could always slap on some stickier tars for the one day thing, then toss em after it's done.

I asked Rodney if I should get some stickier tires and he down-voted me.  Boo.  I thought it was a good idea too.   :-/
