Letko Track Day well represented

Yesterday at Heartland Park Topeka, The Letko Crew participated in a special track day. Besides someone whom I won't mention dropping our 848 demo during a corner braking miscalculation, it went pretty smooth. Everyone had plenty of chances to ride and we even let folks ride our demos on the course during the lunch break.

There were a good number of Suzukis, Yamahas, even a few KTMs (!!) but we were all very surprised about the number of Ducatis that showed up to ride the course; we hear a lot of our customers present and future talk about not wanting to damage their bikes by taking it out on the track, but after a number of laps, you realize that the track is what Ducati built bikes for. And because there is no traffic, unknown road conditions, etc. you're more likely to wad up your bike on the street anyway.

I was out on the track quite a bit and didn't get very many pictures, but you can view the ones I did take here.

STAR coming to town

Jason Pridmore and his STAR motorcycle school is coming back to Topeka this year (Sept 31 and 1rst). If you're like me and have been dying to learn yourself some sportbike skills, this is the place to go. Jason, former AMA racer and FIM endurance nice guy, is reknown in his teaching ability. So not only do you get the tips you want from a guy who has experience, you also will learn something. Awesomeness!

I've already signed up to become a better rider, and hope to see you at Heartland Park!
