Track withdrawls

Post by Aussie Ninja »

Is it just me or of you guys that have been to the track do you get withdrawls? I mean, I binned my scoot and trashed one of the fairings and my ankle is still sore three weeks later but I'm counting the days until my finances let me go again! :twisted:

Agree with all that. I had a nine or ten month gap in between my last outings and I gotta say, I was getting edgy! :twisted:

I love reading the posts after someone has done a track day or raced. Ezpecially if you have done them yourself. You understand what all the ranting and raving is about! I have re-read an old post of mine from a track day and thought, shit, i was excited writing that one :lol:

Do you shake and shudder on the floor and your Mrs has to lock you in the bedroom so you don't harm yourself????

They reckon, that if you go riding at a racetrack on a ride day or at a race meet, that it actually cures the withdrawals! :wink:
