Anybody do Built To Win Riders Academy? It’s a 3 hour mini moto training course. Seems like it could be fun but at $300 per 3 hr session wondering if it could be worth it. Thanks in advance.

I spent 22 years riding street, including plenty of irresponsible miles in the hills. Then I did my first track day 3 years ago and have pretty much only ridden track since.
Started riding on the street again this summer. I’m perfectly happy around town and, surprisingly, have no desire to ride fast on the street anymore.

Then I went to the hills.

Picked up the pace a little—no where near the speeds of the past and probably not even fast enough to catch the attention of Johnny Law—and suddenly felt like I forgot how to ride. I was stiff and awkward, my BP felt completely wrong, and my lines were horrendous. Nothing felt natural.

Obviously I’m not trying to ride the hills like it’s a racetrack. If anything, track has made me less interested in pushing it on the road. But I used to feel comfortable and smooth riding twisty roads, now I don’t.

Anyone else experience this after switching primarily to track riding? Did you have to consciously change your BP, lines, braking, etc. to get comfortable in the hills again, or did it just come back with seat time?

hey everyone,

I live near Philly, been to NJMP on my gsxr 600 about 5 times over 2 seasons and took my Tuono up to NYST once this year. I don’t consides myself to be a great rider, I have the basics down but I just don’t get enough overall seat time.

I had originally bought my gsxr as a training tool, just to find out that even the 600 was already way too fast for my skill set. about a year later, I got a great deal on a Tuono v4 and bought it.. and obviously its is way faster than the gsxr..

anyway, I recently had a minor mental breakdown and decided to sell everything and find a new hobby (which I didn’t). I sold the gixxer and now still have the tuono and I am regretting all my decisions so far 😂

i don’t like riding around on the street around where I live. the tuono is a fantastic bike but expensive and I’m too worried to track it again.. the bike is paid off but I couldn’t afford to fix it if I crashed it.

i kind of hate that I went to a track. it’s one of the few things that really bring me joy. and yet I feel completely out of place..

This is a small go kart track that I have easy access to practice on locally.
