    How fast does it fade?

    Last time i was on a race track was over six years ago, I am about to get a bike and get back on the track. I would not have considered my self fast by racer standards but i was very comfortable on the track and on my bikes.

    Has any one ever taken an extended absence from racing/riding? if so how quick did you get comfortable again. I am a bit nervous I have been on street bikes on and off and dirt bikes for ever but don't know what to expect when getting back to the track.

    ya gonna do a track day or racing?

    A track day is nothing more than an awesome street ride. Stay w/in your limits & you'll be comfortable in no time.

    Racing takes a different mentality... If you let the fire burn out, ya gotta get it re-lit.... some people never do.
