Track day for new riders

#1 Unread post by window »

I'm looking to learn how to corner better and thought I could learn on a track rather than trying this on the street. Does any one know of any track days in PA/NJ, Especially for slower riders?

Hello dog, and welcome to the forum. I'm sure one of the guys from your neck of the woods will be along shortly. Tell us about your ride please.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Gotta love NJMP. As to the orgs TPM is better for slower riders. They offer more for their pricing and aren't as race oriented. NESBA is a good organization and I think Bob does a good job but they have been much more race prep oriented- not what you want as a new rider.

If you want to make the trek to Summit Point WV then motorcycle excitement is one of the most "improve slow rider" track days out there. Not too bad of a trip considering how often I go from DC to NJMP
