track days

[Sinfix_15]

been wanting to go to a track with the bike and learn to become a better more confident rider. but here in columbus there isnt one motorcycle track. so my question is, where is a track near by???

Pine mountain is 20 minutes outside of columbus. always packed with bikes on weekends. There's a bike shop and some decent places to eat up there too. The roads are curvy enough that you can go a relatively normal speed and still have a "thrilling" ride. Obviously your choice of speed is at your discretion.

Big difference in a race track and a road. lol

true on that, couple weekends ago a few of the turns had clay all over them from construction.... put a damper on any hard riding. I've seen maybe 1 cop at pine mountain in years.....

Exact reason tracks are better. The track doesn't have grandmas leaky town car remains all over it or dirt.

Well, you dont just go to the mountain and go buck wild the second you get there. After 2-3 normal driving laps of checking out the surface and traffic... you can elevate your speed a "little". On weekdays, it's a ghost town and you probably wouldnt see another vehicle. On weekends, its 90% other bikes.

Plus, i clearly misunderstood him saying he needed to learn how to ride.


You can get "more confident" on mountain roads.
