An overview of how I got here and where I was going.
Highlights of bikes, gear, instruction, and practice at track days that spanned three years via each series.
Race gear prep, race bike prep, and pit prep.
Before you race, you have to earn your racing license. This is the process you go through to get your license.
The racing experience step-by-step. Includes my two Ultra Light Weight Super Sport races (Yamaha R3) and my Novice 600 race (Yamaha R6).
I originally started my trek in 2017 at the age of 54, to complete a dream of riding a motorcycle on a big track. When asked, I always said I loved to watch racing, but I was NOT interested in doing it myself... thinking the reason folks raced was to win trophies. As much as I would enjoy a racing trophy, I am a realist and know that my robust frame has always carried too much weight to have the speed necessary to get on a podium. So what was the turning point, that made me decide to race? Bucket list was my first answer, but it expanded to hanging out with the racing community... being able to enjoy racing from the other side of the wall. As with many of my video pursuits, I thought the racing experience would enable me to better understand the racers I was interviewing.
