Great job Greg! it looks like Mikey had a little trouble keeping up and filming you after a few laps of you getting used to the track! I just wrote up to Chuck Wallace on Saturday just to check things out and you're right it is a long ass ride! Although I do love riding taking the car would've been much more comfortable…

[@EagleF3F]

Did my first track day last week. I rode my bike for three and a half hours to the track the day before. Tools and clothes in the backpack. Found shade under some trees. It was awesome and I have already planned the next track day. As soon as I got back I got a ramp to transport the bike next time. Definitely not riding to the track again. The backpack was killing me.

[@DiagolonRider]

lol, ya bro, i rode a couple hours to my camp and back with a full backpack on my cbr600rr and it gets hard on the neck lol

[@MrDeepseadweller]

Makes me appreciate how lucky I am to live a 30 minute drive (or ride) from our GP track, where they also provide a free garage with free mains power for your warmers etc. Some of the garages also have drinks fridges if there’s a race event on that night or the next day.

[@lukeorlando4814]

Been riding for 28 years. Wonder if I will ever do a track day. Looks like it could be fun

[@NotSure416]

Not all track organizers are equal. Find an organizer that will teach you how to ride. Typically this will involve classroom sessions in addition to your track time. There are also organizers that don't offer this, and will just let you out on track by yourself. If you just "go for it" without any training you'll either be really slow, or you'll crash. Invest in yourself and your riding and get some instruction.

[@YaroCarHustle]

the Best Advice !!! As always !!! It's all about the fun factor, unless you are going competitive !!!!

[@Ashrune]

I’ve been missing the track vids, always fun to watch

[@tjey379]

Track day preps , man that's some real devotion and I love that delightfully hostile riding I mostly find it amusing that no one comes out from that real dizzy. Thanks for sharing

[@vijayam1]

Inhale, Exhale tip was awesome...

[@bc1618]

Awesome video mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. 👌

[@airheadzradioadventures]

Great stuff, man

[@clawbass888]

Also did my first track day on my Tracer 9 GT not so long time ago. So much fun!

[@Kevin-sq2ud]

Great footage! Helps me improve my lines so much appreciated. I was parked directly across from you, looked like you guys were enjoying the day so didn't want to bother you. Was a great day and we got lucky with the temps. Was back this past weekend, it was pushing 100. Catch ya at the next one.

[@OilyNinja]

Got my first track day June 23ed 😎 can’t wait. I’ve got everything on your list and then some! Gonna be to mist prepared noob out there

[@MauricioRafaelGonzalez]

Thank you for sharing! 8 track days in…Novice! Look to do 4-6 track days this year but still found this video very valuable - thank you!!!! Q5s - How many track days anticipate out of them? And total miles out of them? I ask because I too have road tires on my S1000R. Thanks again!

[@sqlb3rn]

​@@mygi43543you're full of shit, go check out their website dumbass

[@Krom1hell]

:)) Two hours to an international track and one national, 20-30-40 minutes to other 3 tracks...... Always ride in full leathers to track day :)).... because the weather is the same everywhere here :P (and to go to the big ones is through the twisties and over mountains/ nice roads)..... You're moving the whole house for the track session :P.....I feel so privilaged in a way (I take the bike and a backpack of tools!) Lovely track you have down there .... The crappiest things about using street tires, is that after a track session you have to scrape all the gunk out of the grooves and all the deposits.....and that takes a bit of hard work after you are already tired.

[@todortodorov8008]

Thanks!

[@MurrayWendman]

Wow That’s quite a list of what to bring

[@sirpurralot1686]

loved it all! - back to my practice, practice, practice

[@dergrizzlyreaper]

Sweet thanks for this information! 😊

[@headhuntersixx8164]

I just bought another bike for the first time since I crashed in 2020. First track day in that long as well. I was riding A group before and was about mid pack as well, but since it’s been so long, I’m going to go B group this weekend, although, now the company I go through offers a B+ and B~ group, which splits up the overcrowded B group. So we’ll see how it goes. Cool video.

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Great video, and great bike. I really,ike your explanations, it really helps for us who can’t ride as often. Hope you can post about the oil change, and how it’s done on this bike.

[@ChedderWeasel]

Wish i could make it to a track someday... Be fun to let loose a bit.

[@SFUndertaker]

Ha! Your final comments remind me of my serious skydiving days. It was less about the jumping, more about the social event with my buds. I was teaching military freefall during the week, the weekend was more about hanging out.

[@sqlb3rn]

I did a track day at Barber in AL, it was alright but kinda frustrating since I was riding at the limit of my skill and everyone was blowing past me on my rc390 full tuck WOT. It made street riding super boring, there aren't good twisties around here, everything is a blind turn. I actually haven't been riding much since the track day.

[@ZH2.]

Looking fast on those long sweepers

[@Renaissance_cycles]

Freaking awesome!!! So much fun was had by all!!! 🤘

[@sunjung54]

Jealous of your year round riding conditions! Great tips for the track!

[@bernardofidalgo1808]

Awesome video

[@paul-ku]

awesome vid

[@daKiLLahAc]

Look good my man🤙🤙

[@satanaz]

do you feel you favor more left hand corners? it seems you twist your torso better on left corners, when compared to right corners. from the video @15:34 it doesn't look like your body is facing the right-hander, whereas for left handers it seems your whole body is facing the direction you are going. I'd like to have some footage like that of myself to see if I do the same :D

[@Zeroleon]

Won't be surprised if you sell S1000RR before the track day

[@heshamfamily]

Hi Man , I am a big fan and thx for such a great vid. I need recommnedations for a someone to train me in phoenix, az. also, where will you be memorial day weekend ? we are diring to SD , hope i can meet you . thx

[@FruitisLife75]

I live in Deer Valley. If you want to meet up sometime to ride let me know. Where in Phoenix are you ?

[@dans2971]

Thanks for spelling the words in the title correctly.

[@gscheiblich]

Do you still own your Husky 701? Will you ever do a video about riding that bike?

[@lifeofdre707]

What happened to the mt10?

[@MotoTweak]

Damn near got your elbows down!

[@geniemartyn]

Can I just comfirm you said 32 front and 28 rear for the pressure setting?.

[@sonny9608]

Let us all take a minute to hold hands and pray…pray to the motorcycle Gods that BMW motor doesn’t pop on our dear friend MotoJitsu. 😂

[@ohhhcrap]

Why would it pop? Most of the issues of motors blowing are on the new m1000rr's. I had over 7k miles on my '22 S1K of hard riding with zero issues before I traded it in.

[@sonny9608]

Both of you put “s1000rr motor blown” into the search bar. Theres plenty of people smoking their s1000rr motors, I did not say or mean m1000rr. Just because your bike is fine doesn’t mean everyone else having issues is discredited. Maybe you were lucky. There is a few more than motomili with bad m1000rr motors. I am on my third KTM, I’ve only had one sort of major issue and they bent over backwards to take care of me. Others say different. Also..I was making a joke, clearly. 😂

[@deedle6073]

Your E-bikes still have chicken strips

[@michaelcroft131]

What level will you be doing at CSS?

[@MotoJitsu]

1 & 2 I guess since it’s my first time. 2 day event

[@chrisnoname3829]

And after the track day, the next video will be.... Why i sold my S1000 lmfao

[@SK-kt2ch]

Your bowl edits are out of order :-)

[@trishschofield7808]

Q. How does the track team monitor down riders and do they always have their own emts / ambulance 🚑 crew there on standby?

[@satanaz]

at least on the trackdays here in Europe there are always ambulances at the track.

[@Renaissance_cycles]

They have “control riders” out and about in each group, if they see something out of order they will pass you and motion that they need to talk to you or tap their tail for you to follow, for example. Also there’s lookouts throughout the track, at least 3-4 with someone in them holding the flags, in case of any accidents. They are the ones that will radio to the ambulance or crash truck to come pick someone up and their bike. I’m sure it varies by organizations and/or track but in a nutshell that’s pretty usual.

[@miro_yo]

Hi, what brand of tires do u use?

[@Renaissance_cycles]

23:23

[@tindalowos]

the bike is my only transport so i did ride to track. uber eats delivery bag fit everything i needed thankfully but i probably wont do that again lol

[@thengine7]

My lessons from my first track day: Use your own masking tape BEFORE you get to tech inspection. If they don't like anything, they will gleefully plaster stuff with their DUCT tape which WILL rip off paint. Also, don't let them apply any stickers to paint. Put masking tape on any and ALL surfaces that need stickers. BUY front and rear stands (and bobbins for your bike) and learn how to take off (and put on) your wheels before you go. If tech doesn't like your wheels, it'll cost you to have the wheel guys take your stuff off, if you don't do it yourself. I paid $90 for 15 minutes worth of wheel exchange labor. If you are getting tired, stop riding. The last run of the day has the most accidents by far. Lots of jackasses are happy to go crazy; and their concern for your safety goes way, way down. The track organizers rarely do anything about those jackasses. Ask me how I know... Ask people for help understanding things. Don't be shy. My coach was happy to do the bare minimum and never gave me any feedback on my skills. He had "over 15,000" laps at the track we were at, and his apathy to coaching novices showed.

[@thengine7]

@@mygi43543 You obviously care.

[@eddydruppel3943]

Djees , I ride my bike to the track a day before , stay in a nice hotel , have a nice meal ! In the morning I have a good breakfast and a good shower buttteuhhhh thats it dude . Tyre pressure and everything else technical are checked at home . I’m in the fast group with a 100 hp bike 😈😈😈 and after a full track day ….. i ride home ,completely zen and exhausted . Okay I’m in Belgium sooow 150 km is a long ride for us but still I find your video a little bit ……overkill . See ya

[@user-xw4hn7lb3x]

I ride a 1000 super bike on the canyon roads where I live. Been riding for 20 years now. I'm 100% MotoGP material. 50°+ leans, 180 mph in the straights, and over 1 G of braking. No one can touch me. Everyone that has ever rode with me always ask why am I not racing professionally? Its too damn expensive even to just do track days. I don't even have a truck or trailer to haul my bike. lol. If only I had the opportunities ($$$) like the pro's had. Well, at least I still have fun.

[@FlexFast]

🤣 Ok bro

[@raymondbakijan1791]

Sell that thing get something that excite you when you ride You’re not a newbie or a fanboy come on man you could do better than that
