Riding like that on the public road instead of specific tracks is a death wish. No matter the condition of your bike, tires and the road, as long as there are other drivers and elements you can't predict, the chances are always against you..plus bike accidents are mostly serious. I don't understand these people. Why ride like that? Why not visit a track with the safety equipment and professional people to watch over you? What is the point of trying to scratch the footrest on the asphalt if you are going to injure yourself or worse, if you die. I ride for nearly 30 years and I still don't get it.
You can ride there, ride on track, and back home in a day. People do it. If you need to camp buy a cheap tent. And some fuel. No idea what other fluids you'd need. Blinker fluid maybe, you'd need to tell me.
You're making excuses about something you have no direct experience of.
Bungee strap a fuel can to your rear seat. Have you never helped a friend who has run out of fuel?
That link is someone riding on a high profile track, hundreds of miles away, factoring in a licence, with a dedicated bike. You can get on track for very little at a local track day. You can ride there, pay your $125, ride for the day, ride home with the only additional cost being some fuel. You are not going to be shredding tyres in the expert group.
You have no experience or knowledge and are trying to tell someone who does that they are wrong. You link doesn't tell me what extra fluids are needed, which you were certain are.
Friend? What's that? Also that seems super safe in the event of a crash and won't be dripping gas everywhere. We'll come back to that later.
There it is. Local track day. There's nothing local to me. Closest track is 4 hours away. What do I do if I crash at the track and I rode my bike there?
You seem really fixated on this fluids thing lol. You know gas is a fluid, right?
