Re: Track Day checklist.
I was having a read on some breakdown cover policies and they say that recovery is not covered when the vehicle is being raced, being used to race or for practice for such events. Does that mean track days are excluded?

There have been plenty of tales of people crashing their bike at a trackday, pushing it off the circuit and to the nearest roundabout, and phoning recovery under the pretence they crashed on the road. It's simpler to just hire a van for the day. |
Re: Track Day checklist.
Worst case, there is usually a place at the track where they could keep a trashed bike for collection later, as per my mate at cadwell last year!
Its good to ask questions but don't let it be a daunting thing, its so much more fun than riding on the road (In my opinion) no need to worry about anything except improving your riding and feeling like your the next Rossi! Awesome fun!! |
