So me and my friends have learned that unfinished neighborhood (no houses yet, just roads) are the closest thing to tracks that you can find. they are usually loops and have no traffic on them and have nice curves, ranging 30 mph 90deg stop sign turns up to 80 mph+ curves.

Here are a few pics and videos from the most recent one we have found, saddly to say it is a bust and we were informed that if we came back we would be arrested, (they took our names and plate numbers) but atleast we got a goo session in.

Your one friend should invest in a jacket and gloves, and the other some gloves. Cool pics though!

he has a jacket and was wearing it, but it was like 95 degrees out and he took off, he knows the risks and made his dissension. any ways, lets not make this into a "should we wear gear thread"

thanks for the compliment on the pics, its a shame that this place was a bust, it was a real beauty, the left hand turn where the pics were taken was the middle turn in a huge W. the loop was a mile long and didnt have a single strait section of road.

Cool. There is a closed road by me that isn''t very long I have been wanting to practice stuff on my bike with, but still unsure if the cops will fine me or not.

if its not a DOT road then i am pretty sure they will just kick you out, could be wrong though, depends on what it is and why its closed, stay away from active constuction sites.

browning sticker on a sportbike?!

paaaleassee...

Good job wearing gear yourself though, proud to see Honda''s represented responsibly, can''t say the same for Suzuki, then again, it''s always that way with Suzuki riders..
