Hello from a track day noob

Hi to all,
I would just like to introduce myself to the forum. My few recent excursions to Eastern Creek on the trusty 'busa are looking to be habit forming
. With this in mind, I decided that buying a track bike would be the best course of action. Thanks to all in this forum whose comments and pearls of Kawasaki-wisdom have led me to purchase a 05 ZX-6R as being the ideal track bike
. From reading these forums, it is clear that you have a great GREEN community here. Looking forward to introducing myself at a future track day.
Cheers

Welcome to KSRC MrPuttPutt
Nice purchase with the 636, they make a brilliant track bike..... Now we can get to work on converting you from a Bussa to a ZX14

Welcome PuttPutt!
Nice 636 - you'll love it, they're awesome fun
Though you might be wondering where the rest of the power is, as you come down the straight, since you're used to the Busa
See you around

Thanks for the welcome all.
I did test a zx-14 before the 'busa, but the roasting my right calf copped put me off! As for wondering where the power is, I think I will be too busy trying to work out how to change gears between turns 2 -10
.
Cheers

Just ride a 9 and you can stay in third all the way from turn 2 to 12.
Welcome to team green and KSRC.
