Hello Everyone...
This marks the official start date of my commitment, and ongoing dedication to a sport up until about three months ago I knew nothing about. I have learned most of what I know from a Landracing Record Holder (who happens to be very near and dear to my heart), and my own searching for additional information. My focus is to revamp/prepare myself and my 03 SV650 motorcycle to race in the year 2013. I bought this motorcycle in 03, rode for about 1000 miles and parked it, switching my interest and "payments" to an 05 R6 which I absolutely loved more than anything! Anyway, until now I was unsure why I held on to my 03 SV650 rather than selling it long ago.
My background is in motocross. I've been riding since I was 13 years old, started racing motox at 16, then as I got older endurance racing. Unfortunately, as one would say "the older the wiser" but not in my case. The older I became, the more confident in my ability to tackle stunts with and without instruction...needless to say not all stunts ended nicely. My "adrenaline junky" personality and sense for adventure, and all I've heard about Landracing is what brought me here.
I'm looking for information on how to get started, what I need to do to my bike to get it ready, how I should prepare myself, and what exactly does it "feel" like to ride a motorcycle on the salt? Glass, ice, sand over concrete,a sandy beach? (forgive my ignorance)
That's it for now, but all inforamtion is welcome!!
