Top-5: Tips for Novice Trackday Riders



Have you ever done a trackday" If you have, you?ll know how bitchin? they are. If you haven?t, then you really need to. It?ll be one of the best things you?ve ever done, but that first one can be a little bit daunting. Fear not though, because we know that everyone has to start somewhere. That?s why we?ve compiled this list of five top tips for novice and first-time trackday goers. Hope it helps? 

1- Make a List 

I?ve been riding bikes on track for more years than I can remember now, but it?s not uncommon for me to forget an essential piece of apparatus. I?ve arrived at circuits with a single boot missing, no ignition key, no license, the list goes on. So, to avoid the stress of having to source a replacement whatever-it-might-be, it?s a jolly good idea to make yourself a checklist before you set off. Include everything on it that you?re going to need like all your riding kit, licenses, tools, tyre warmers and (very importantly) the appropriate cable-age, and every single thing you can think of. Chances are, you?ll still forget to put something on the list, but if you find you arrive at the track and there?s something missing, you can put it on the list for next time. Keep hold of your list ? you might find it comes in handy at a later date. Lists are good. We love lists. Long live the list.
