I got more details of what happened with that incident, and it's really sad. The bike that went before him leaked coolant onto the drag strip. So when this guy went, he let off at the end of the run, ended up doing a speed wobble after hitting the slippery surface where the coolant leaked. He hit the wall going super fast, had no chance. It took an hour for medical help of any kind to arrive on scene, so this guy was bleeding with his legs separated for over an hour with no medical assistance. A totally f@#ked up situation completely.

I was in the hospital today visiting a good friend who's waiting to have surgery to stabilize his spine. Car pulled out in front of him downtown.
Streets are dangerous and my old ass doesn't heal like it used to when I crash on the track. Having a couple of kids helped make the decision a bit easier as well. As much as I'd to get on a bike now and then.

Maybe if I buy a track s2000 it will change my mind lol.

Riding in the GTA is pretty crazy... so much traffic, street car rails, people, street lights, etc...
If I lived in the GTA I wouldn't own a bike... driving a bike around in London is lot better... that's why I've ridden my bike twice to work this year
That's crazy to hear about the guy at Cayuga... I was planning on doing more track days on my bike but it's a lot of organizing and time commitment vs. doing track days in my car.
I'm hoping I can get out on the track with my bike soon.

From what I can tell, most organizers make you do a lot more prep to your bike to make it track ready than they do to your car (which seems to be nothing for the most part). Plus the fact it's probably not a great idea to ride to a track day, you have the whole trailer/van/truck issue.
