I am not into rushing it...I let just about every type of vehicle pass me today. I have really just been working on my lines and keeping my weight off my wrists and accelerating through the turns. My poor husband. He has been very patient with me and leads (or follows depending on my preference) me through all the turns.

I've never done one... but sounds like a track day may help you on everything you just said...

Spring is the plan! Doing my first car track day this month. It was most likely be the same track so I am looking forward to learning the track before being thrown out there on my bike.

Track days are great as long as you don't get carried away. Pun intended.

Too damn expensive. I wasted $600 worth of tires and chipped my BBS wheels to hell along with some body paint on my STI. But it was worth it.
