Yup, I do ridesmart, and yup, its 460 bucks. Plus more if you want a garage.
And its completely worth it.
For $3700 I hope they teach you to solder too.
For 3700 it should include some astroglide
Paging TrackRat...
Pittenger5 seems to have a much better handle on bike days at COTA than I do. I've heard great things about Ridesmart, and I'm considering their event in March. As far as rental bikes go, that might be tough. I know a guys that rents 300's at Harris Hill, but COTA would be boring as hell on a 300.
There's been 300s and supermoto's at Cota (even a scrambler last event I was at). I wouldnt discount it, the straights would be boring as hell, but I still think they would be fun.Quote:

I'd rather do this than a cruise or Aruba for a week at a 5 star. COTA on a super bike sounds like an awesome time. Money? Meh... It's time that is important. Make the most of it.
So still lurking on this looking at options
CSS Aug 14-15 is $3750 its a Monday-Tuesday then theres a Wednesday only for $1100 as much as Id rather do two days the cost difference is certainly worth it. Flight out plus room and food I should be there in back for under $1500.
Doesnt look like I'm going to be doing any dates this year. Poop. But at least there's a bunch of TWS on the calendar.
