Talking Mission, here I come!

Yes, I did it!
I'm going!
I just pre-registered and pre-paid with Kari.
I so wanted to do this, and it still took me a while to grab the phone and phone Kari. I'm so excited, and nervous at the same time, an "old fart" going to his first Track Day.

Quote:
Aug 7th Track Day at Mission Raceway by WCSS
Track Day #6 - August 7th - Mission Raceway

Includes Street and Racer Clinics

For riders without a race license the cost is $190.00+gst. Cost for licensed racers is $175.00+gst. Please bring your race license to the track.

This day is open to both street riders and racers. This will be a fun and safe day and includes totally non competitive groups where people can ride at whatever pace they feel comfortable at.

All types of motorcycles including Motards are welcome to join the fun.

All bikes must be in a good state of repair with decent tires. We are saddled with a noise issue so we require all bikes to either have a stock exhaust system, or, we may need to install a noise damping plug (cost is $25) in any loud aftermarket exhaust systems. In most cases there is no problem with aftermarket exhausts and only the loudest need to be quieted down.
Minimum gear requirements are leathers or heavier type textiles with a newer full face helmet(street) and decent motorcycle gloves and boots.

Additional Information:

For Street Riders:

The street group will be led by experienced instructors for their first two track sessions. This will be helpful for knowledge of the best lines through corners and safe passing areas.
Track instructors will circulate with the street group throughout the day offering assistance and instruction where required. Helmet cam analysis is available for a nominal fee.

For Racers:

Track instructors will circulate with the racer group offering assistance and instruction where required. Helmet cam analysis is available for a nominal fee.

Track Daze and Clinics Schedule of Events

7:00 AM Gates, registration and bike inspection opens (all riders must have bike and gear inspected after signing in)
8:45 AM Riders meeting
9:10 AM Track opens for riding, groups rotate on track with clinic talks
in between riding sessions along with video reviews
12:30 PM Lunch

We hope to see you all out enjoying the day and improving on your riding and racing skills.

For any any additional info PM me (Troy) or call Gio at 778-893-9170.

Pre-registration is recommended as space is limited.
To pre-register contact Kari @ 604-764-5654.
Visa, Mastercard, Debit and Cash accepted.

Thanks Paul.
When will you get your new bike and what will it be? Does that mean you will have two bikes pretty soon?

Nice bike Paul.
How did you come to choose this particular one, every brand has at least one sport-touring model.

I have liked the VFR for as long as I can remember. I found the others to more touring than sport. The FJR is an awesome bike, but the VFR is more in my price range as well.
