New Rider - How long do I wait before I do a track day?


I'm a new rider, 500 short miles under my belt. I'm riding a '08 Ninja 250.

How much experience do I need before I do a track day?

I have literally thousand of hours of ATV riding experience so I am pretty experienced with shifting and riding fast on a "saddle". I also have a lot of experience with crashing on dirt :-). Granted, two wheels and four wheels are two very different things.

On two wheels I have a whopping 500 miles and the MSF course, and no experience crashing (yet).

Do I wait until next year when I will probably have many more miles experience on two wheels? Or do I piss off the wife and do a track day this year sometime?

Also, is a 250 "ok" on the track? Am I gonna be in peoples way?

-Chris
