I recently attended my first track day sponsored by some local dealers. It was a blast and would suggest it to anyone that wants to improve their riding abilities. I have included some pics.

(your husband posted these on STN a little while back..... )
I remember 'cause I showed the pics to my wife who rides a Triumph Trophy, and to a female co-worker who rides a R1150R.
<<edit>> p.s., congrats on the K1200S, and good luck with it.... careful of those "performance awards"!!!!!

I love track days. For those just interested in giving it a shot, many track organizations give you two runs for free the first time you ever do anything with them. It's not a full track day but if you like it you can pay to stay.
