Track dayed your bike?

It all comes down to budget, if you have a spill on a £500 bike it's no big deal but some will spend £15000 . Racing is expensive but so can trackdays be. On your gen2 i would run your suspension and tyres slightly softer than road settings and be realistic as to what group best suits your pace so you are doing similar speeds to those around you. If it seems others are slow, move up a level but don't get over encouraged by your mates into overdoing it before you have done enough laps to know the right pace. I found on track there was always one corner that just didn't gel so would try to make a point of getting that right and enjoying the rest of the lap. Last track day i did was prob 5 years ago and the bike wasn't running right so might have to do one before i forget how good it is. Anyone up for a Welsh trackday? and there are a few.
Thanks for the advice,.xx
I have done one Ron Haslem race school course on the CBR 600s and are doing another in a couple of weeks,,i find them amazing ,full of fun, learning , a great experience , I recommend them to anyone who rides fast or wants to ride fast or faster,its all about understanding what a bike does when you go faster than usual..
