Yes it is possible to just show up and ride. But we HIGHLY recommend preregistering ahead of the event date. We limit the amount of riders in each group and often sell out. If you show up without saving a spot you may have to wait for an opening in order to ride.
We like to say that in its simplest form, a track day is like a Sunday ride with friends but minus the speed limits, law enforcement, automobiles, road debris, and straight boring roads. What we do is bring the curviest Florida roads, experienced instructors and safety team, some basic structure and we make the best possible day of performance riding you will ever have.
Leather motorcycle riding suits – one piece or two piece. Two piece leather suits must have a full circumference zipper attaching the jacket and pants. Sturdy over the ankle motorcycle boots. Sturdy full leather gloves. No mesh gear please.
If you do not own a motorcycle cycle suit, we rent motorcycle suits, boots and gloves.
For novice riders, Florida Trackdays has initiated a first of it’s kind gear rental program. FTD is fully reimbursing the entire cost of leather suit rentals along with the boots and gloves when you sign up for the Novice group!
Reserve your gear online when registering for your track day and then after the track day FTD will reimburse the full rental amount plus any deposits.
It’s that simple!
Florida Trackdays has donated over $25,000 in gear rental since initiating the novice gear rental program.
We also accept cash for suit rentals on the day of but we recommend reserving online to guarantee your size. We have a limited number of suits in each size so don’t delay in reserving your suit.
A Roll of Duct Tape or Painters Tape will just about do it. Take a basic street bike and tape the headlights, taillights, turn signals, wheel weights, and either remove the mirrors or tape them. We also ask that you remove any ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) and replace with Water Wetter, Engine Ice or similar product (Novices are except). Your bike is now ready. Of course we are looking to make sure everything is in order such as tire condition, brakes working properly and basic upkeep of the motorcycle.
Any motorcycle that will go around a corner will make a perfect bike to attend. Of course we see the usual assortment of Honda CBR’s, Yamaha R6’s, and Ducati’s, but we also get BMW GS 1200’s, Suzuki Hayabusa’s, Kawasaki ZX-14’s, and Ducati Diavel’s. Kawasaki 300 Ninja’s and the Yamaha R3 make great track bikes as well.
What we ask of new riders is to have basic motorcycle operation skills. Graduates of the Florida MSF training course who have street riding experience are perfect candidates for a track day. You should have the ability to safely ride with traffic at highway speeds on public roads.
We are not a substitution for an introductory motorcycle riding course. We cannot teach you the basics of riding a motorcycle. We can teach you to ride a motorcycle more proficiently.
You will learn better braking skills, corner line selection, body position.
We will help reduce the fear of leaning your motorcycle in corners.
We do not offer the motorcycle license endorsement.
