I do neither. I would be interested in taking a Track School, but time and finance priorities do not make it possible at this time.
I do not ride 2 up very often, but if I do, it is usually short distances with one of my daughters.
I do leisure sport touring when time permits, but daily commuting is the rule. I have to be careful, but can wick her up a little trying to get out of traffic or avoid a trouble spot.

I wish my husband would also get another bike. I love to ride. I guess I have to get a bike and ride it myself. I also love to drag race, but I scare my husband when I do.

I do both. Believe me that bike is NOT for the track. I think of it as a nice barka lounger on the track. It can handle it but its kind of like watching a fat lady ride a moped. Well have fun

Anybody tearing the track up with thier Bird or is everyone riding the wife around at 180mph?
I've been testing that the speedo doesn't hangs before 186 mph, not calibrated with GPS though. I guess the speedo error on my bike is slightly more than 10% since I've put a 16-tooth gear in front instead of 17-tooth (6% difference). From what I've read one can expect about 175+ mph real top speed from a Bird in stock condition.
It will be tested on track as soon as I get the opportunity, the old CBR 1000 F didn't turned me down on track, and the Bird should be slightly better since it has more power and a better chassie.
