Uh, those guys have more grip than mid ohio in the cold or wet.

Have you watched ice racing before? Some of those racers have more grip than a MotoGP bike. 😳

Ofcourse when your tires look like this....

NBA cancelled. Masters Cancelled.

 

Daytona 200 still running (without fans).

Other sports should take notes from one that requires 2 balls :)

DORNA CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said yesterday that, despite delays, the MotoGP season will go on.

MotoGP.com is offering the "10 Best races in MotoGP" for free until racing resumes at Jerez.  Might help to pass the time while self quarantined or working from home.

I`m waiting to see if they offer a discount before I pony up.  I`ll subscribe just before Jerez either way.

How are you watching Daytona?

If things open up and I find a job, I'd be interested in attending my first track day. Need lots of things to happens first but it was on my to-do list before all the nonsense happened.

Not as much as you think. You got painters tape and a well maintained motorcycle? Do you have $75 to rent a suit, pair of boots, and gloves? Or just $50 for a suit? Then you can come do a track day with us. N2 runs a program for first time track riders where you can try out 2 sessions for free if you've never turned a wheel on track before. If you decide to ride the rest of the day you can pay a special low rate to ride the rest of the day.

Check out our rider's manual. https://www.n2td.org/manuals-and-forms/

We have rentals up to 60EU or 56US.

You'll most likely ride with us at our Nelsons Ledges or Pittsburgh International Race Complex weekends as those would be the closest.

Well i should fit in a euro 58, so looks like that is covered. I read through the membership handbook and checked out the schedule. I hear Pittsburgh is a nice track.

Yup. Let me know in advance if you want to get in on that. That place sells out pretty much every weekend. You'd start with creating an N2 account on the website which gives you access to an online portal. But the Try the Track thing is a manual registration process so I have to do that on the back-end.

Okay, let me see if I'm going to be able to do that weekend. I'll make sure to let you know.
