Riding a sport bike on a track can be a lot of fun.  If you have ever watched the professionals on television, then you are probably dying to ride like they do with your own bike.  It can be intimidating to learn how to do this if you are a beginner.  It can also be dangerous, so it is important to prepare yourself and prepare your bike if you want to ride on a track.  A track day is much more intense than regular riding on the street once you get up to high speeds, but you can do it by following a few simple steps.

Ask your local motorcycle shop or talk to your friends with bikes about where you can find a race track with a motorbike track day that is open to new riders.  Speak to the managers of the facility about any specifications or requirements.  Make sure that you have met all the requirements before reserving your slot in order to avoid losing a non-refundable deposit.  Most tracks often have support service for beginners.  You can get escorted around the track until you get used to it.  There are track fees, so expect to spend at least one hundred dollars for a track day if you want to take your bike out.  

Once you have decided on where and when to go, there are some things that you should have to take with you.  Make sure you have racing gloves, leather race pants and a jacket with appropriate protection.  Motorcycle racing boots and a full face helmet are also required.  A track day is long, so make sure to go prepared.  You will want to bring along a chair and some water to drink and to relax between sessions on your bike.  A full gas can to refuel is a good idea too when riding a sport bike.  Do not forget your tire gauge and tools for the removal of your mirrors and plate.  Bringing your health insurance card is a must just in case there are any problems.  If you want, you can bring a video camera to capture all the fun and excitement.  

It is usually good to go with some friends the first time around if you can.  They can give you support and tape your sessions.  After going to the same track a couple of times, you will probably make some new friends there who can help you out in the future.  Once you have all your things together for your first time, it is time to head to the track for your big day.  All you have to do is pay attention to the instructions and safety regulations to have a good day on the track.  Sport bikes are built for this kind of action, so have a great time.
