Your first licensing pass has to be over 125 and under 150. If your bike runs under 125 let her rip.

Now, we get into the touchy area. The initial records I'm going after are under 100, I've gone as fast as 134 and change MPS and 125 Naked at Maxton so we should just leg it out pretty good then. SCTA has never inspected but ECTA has been over it twice so I trust I'll be good. Thanks for the insight. Got no problem getting off the course under our own power, never ridden on the salt so I'll be a little wary of making the corner the first time. Thanks

The "corners" are gradual -- and there's no pressure to take the first one.  Don't sweat it.  You'll see it all during orientation.

Now I got another question, I read something about 'sitting up' being a problem I use that to aid braking road racing (I'm a big guy) all the time and have done it with the ECTA plenty should be the same on the Salt?

Bill Warner is the name that comes to my mind when I think of "sitting up" at the end of a run.

Don't do it Bill!

I usually start sitting up at about 200, fully up by 175. :-D I dont use the brakes at all and turn out in a mile. Dont down shift to slow down either.

Now things are not sounding as daunting. Still have to keep focus and be serious but more information is good

The secret is to do what "you" feel comfortable with. I typically wait till about 120 to lift my head and then slowly scrub speed (like Fred does above).
But really, just do what you feel best with, do it slowly at first until you feel you have your groove.

Be safe and have fun!!!    :cheers:

Thanks, never been to the salt, have experience with Maxton but I understand everything is different on the salt.
