I have never seen anyone renting bikes at a STT day. They rent leathers and stuff, but not bikes. I know they do some promo days with like Buell and such, but not that often and not at every track.

I had never ridden with them so I wasnt sure. I know TPM did but I have ridden with them for 4 years. I think fishtail which is more of a school does also.

Oh it'd cost me a whole lot more than $1500 if I crashed my bike.

I *could* be interested depending on the track. Coming from as far north as I am, I'd want it to be a more north-eastern track.

wtf...so no outbraking people, even in expert?? That's like, the most basic passing maneuver...

I'm curious...

What part of the rules do you feel say "no outbraking"?

I hear this a lot, and I'd like to re-write it to be clearer because that is definitely not our intention.

While the bikes are straight up and down, there is no "outside".

All we say is that once the rider in front is ready to turn in (which is at the Entry Cone), you cannot come up his inside.
