Stop your whining, here&#8217;s your chance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ericomotorsports.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Erico Motorsports<\/a> just announced that they are sponsoring two track days at High Plains Raceway, out east near Byers. The dates are June 4 and August 6.<\/p>\n<p>The charge to just go out on the track is $250. For an extra Benjamin Erico offers &#8220;a ton of coaching from Team Erico to include classroom time. Yeah, we&#8217;re not pros but I&#8217;ll bet we can get you going much faster, staying much safer, and having a blast riding your bike how it was intended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you&#8217;ve got to have all the gear, and you need to drain your coolant and replace it with water. They&#8217;ll be serving breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and the track will be ready to at 8:30.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested, you&#8217;ll need to contact John at john@ericomotorsports.com. He&#8217;s also there to answer any questions you might have and provide complete information.<\/p>\n<p>I did a track day once and I have to tell you, it was humbling. There were the folks who knew they belonged in the beginner group and then some of us who couldn&#8217;t conceive that we should be in that lowly position. I went out with the mid-level group and promptly found myself the slowest guy on the track, by a long shot. But I had fun and maybe I learned enough to get at least a bit better. It definitely made me a lot more respectful of the skill those guys have who go really, really fast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent from National Motorcycle Examiner<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/motorcycles-in-national\/clock-ticks-as-michigan-s-snyder-weighs-helmet-repeal\" target=\"_blank\">Clock ticks as Michigan&#8217;s Snyder weighs helmet repeal<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>Whoever said money can&#8217;t buy happiness has never owned a sportbike.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-6876146887090826\";\n\/* 468x60, created 10\/12\/11 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3812714403\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever whined that you&#8217;d really like to see how fast your bike can go but you don&#8217;t want to risk the ticket?
