Wrong question. You should ask -How many trees go down at russian trackday.
See, they don't have paved race tracks in Russia, so riders take it to the woods :teehee:

Wondering.

If you do enough trackdays then you can form an answer based on real numbers complied by you instead of hoping to gain an answer based on opinion and conjecture.

Say what you want, but when ranked by page views this thread is now in the top 3% of all NESR threads.

Must've touched a nerve.

You have got to be a accountant. Get over the numbers. If thats all your going to think about, then dont ride on the track. Yeah its dangerous, we all get it.

Fixed :wink:

The whole "risk vs. reward" thing is supposed to be qualitative, not quantitative. You can either live your life, or you can actually live your life. Spend all your time with a calculator in your face, and you'll miss all the fun.

Re: On average, how many riders go down on a track day?

I actually kinda like knowing generally how likely it is to crash or be crashed into... if it was closer to 20 out of every 75 people per day I don't think people would find this thread as dumb. I know I sure as hell would think twice before doing another trackday if it seemed like 1/4 of the people there crashed. FWIW

and ya I know a ton of other factors contribute but knowing for the most part its 3-5 per 75ish makes me feel a hell of a lot better than hearing say 20-30 ;per 75

Re: On average, how many riders go down on a track day?

There may be more chance of crashing at the track, but I'd rather bin it at the track than on the damn highway.
Have you compared the likelyhood of injury/death of crashing at the track vs. crashing on the street?

I'll trade you for a 1981 Honda XR200R. It might be safer.

Re: On average, how many riders go down on a track day?

maybe you should add variables in if you can ride well or not :dunno: i think theres only 2 things u need to think about.. how hard you want to push your ability... and are you willing to scrap a bike if you do so...
that is all

Re: On average, how many riders go down on a track day?

lmfao..
as mentioned, any collection of data gathered to produce an average measurement can be further broken down to an infinite number of averages within.
From track day crashes to: month,day,time of day,experience,bike type,bikes on track,gender,race... anything you can think of.
the data collected within this thread of responses is an average..
extremely general but an average nonetheless.... perhaps totally irrelevant to most...depending on what ur trying to measure....

Re: On average, how many riders go down on a track day?

I've never seen a rider go down during a track day. But who knows what goes on in the various trailers or the rest room stalls....

I have seen a lot of big ass shit eating grins so maybe that explains it...???? (And some people seem really sleepy and tired after lunch...?)

If you want to mitigate risk, then just don't go outside at all. :deathslap:
