Motor Bike Remember to turn the motor bike off after you have used it. Otherwise the batteries will drain. Like car batteries, once drained they will have to be replaced. Plug the bike in and let it charge overnight after use. If at all possible, plug it in and charge it a few hours before use. The charger is located under the track table. Make sure it is turned on and plugged in. Check the air pressure in the tires and inflate before use if necessary. Only those who have had 100’s of hours of track riding experience, including experience doing pace lines on the blue and flying laps under 10 seconds should be allowed to operate the motor bike. Wear a helmet while riding the motor bike. If you have not used the bike before, get a few practice laps in while the track is empty. Be sure you can hold a line at 55-60 km/h (just because you can ride the track at 45 does not mean you can hold a line at higher speeds) and that you can maintain a constant speed. Do not attempt to pace others until you are comfortable doing these things. Begin drills by riding around the blue at 30 km/h. Wait until others have assembled behind you. Get off the track by accelerating away from the pack, establishing a good distance, dropping down on the apron just ahead of turn 2, and applying the brakes. This should be the only time you ever touch the brakes! Alternatively, wait until everyone is exhausted and has already left the track. |
