Sounds like fun. I plan on doing a track day with the guys hoping they might let me ride one of their extra bikes.

That's about the only thing I can think of I will miss about selling my CBR1000RR.

Enjoy the track day! I'll be doing the same on 21 September in Lee Park's Street Skills Advanced Riding Clinic at Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA. I'll probably do some sessions with the bags on and some with them off. Should be exciting to open her up on the straight-away.

The Connie is quite capable on the track...it's no Gixxer but it can hold it's own.

I want to have fun scraping them peg feelers off...
It'll be fun blasting through the chicanes and the high speed double apex turns. My daughter wants to go for a spin on the back...she's in for the thrill of her life...beats roller coasters anyday

Great course. I took it in January on my 14. Write-up here. When I took my course, a guy on a BMWRT was in the class with bags and all. So the Connie will have no problems at all! Enjoy!

The C-14's performance on the track was outstanding as expected. Her only limitation was probably me. The C-14 is a thrill to ride when you let her run open and free. The Advance Riding Clinic was superb as always too.
