Racing in the parking lot with my son - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

plasticweld · 01-05-2006, 11:50 PM

My son Russ and I setup up a practice track at a local tech park that has no problem with us using their parking lot on the weekends. We setup a mini race track with about 9 corners using cones, natural obsticals and of course light poles. It proved to be great practice...

I'm on the black KTM 520 and my son is on the Orange 625 SMC.

Are you just resting in the first picture?

Looks like fun, and no traffic to get in your way.

It only lets me post a few pictures at a time so I am not really resting

It is the place to really work on your skills and have a ton of fun with out wrecking a nice sport bike
