Just wanted to get an idea of how many street riders we have and how many track day guys, racers etc.

well right now i am primarily a street-commute type guy, but i picked other only because i am beginning to ride more aggressively...i try and ride beyond commuting....plus i am anticipating starting next season, i'll be doing some track days....
my bike isn't a track bike...actually it's become a little bit of a show bike, but i did put on a new exhaust, not a full-system and will be doing a 520 conversion shortly on it and putting on a power commander probably early next season as well....
when i start doing track days, i am going to get a set of track plastics that i am not afraid to rash up a bit if something happens and will be painting my street/show plastics...
so....i don't know if other was the right choice...lol
btw...bmg...i know you race....have any opinions on EK MVXz chains?

I do not race on a track. Hell I've only been to one real track day.
I do not race....except for money, or when some dude blows past me on say a GSXR by about 10-15mph, and I don't like it.
Then machismo kicks in. He may have a 10 year newer bike, but once we hit a ton, and it gets crazy...they always back off.
Crazy will make up for about 20-25 bhp.
I do not condone this.
In fact, except for me, I don't recommend it at all.
Good luck on your bike.

If I count the miles on weekly miles...
weekend miles about 300miles(average short rides)...
commute miles about 200 miles a week...
track miles about 500 miles a YEAR!...can't afford more than this...

If I could find a TD comapany, (besides the one I am slowly working on) that actually has a set schedule...I'm all for it.
Getting a car late this month, which will be my main transpo...turning my bike into a 90% track day bike.
I avaerage about 180 communting mils a week. Something is just wrong about wasting a sportbike for work.

I'll be getting another bike for commuting...maybe a ninja 250 or somethin...California traffic ain't no joke for cagers...

I don't ride on the street at all. It's been at least 3 years since I've ridden on the street. I spend about 2-3 weekends a month doing either a trackday or racing.

i do most of my riding on the street sport...only commute every once in a while since my car makes a better commuter(its a hybrid, 65+ mpg, as opposed to 40 mpg on my bike)...and i do as many TD's as i can afford, which isnt many, but TD's are definitly addicting
