This thread has gone way off topic. I was just wondering what advice track guys have for my first track day and now it is going to touge runs. Touge drives sounds good and all but Im not really going to risk it there. I would just rather take my car to the track so that if I make a mistake, it wont be as catastrophic as mountain drives with innocent drivers.

You would be surprised how much your mindset changes when you are on one though. It was the general public that scared the living shit out of me honestly. If it wasn't for driving with cars around me and me not having a garage I would still own my bike.
I cut my losses after I bought the S2k because it was a safer thrill for me. Not based on my riding skill but rather statistics..

I've had people run through red lights I was stopped at, in my lane like I wasn't even there. You can never rest on a bike.
I've had to stop for people running red lights.
I've had to create my own cushin because the guy in the cement truck wasn't paying attention and traffic was slowing quickly ahead of us due to a mattress in the road. He plowed the car in front of me and was sliding sideways down 880 and I had front row seating.
Regardless what you're in you always have to pay attention but even that can only limit your chances of mayhem
It's sad but the reality is is that we all can't always be paying attention. It only takes one time for you and the other person to unfortunately be in sync at the same time and you end up with an oopsie, if nobody gets hurt then awesome but that's not always the case.

This is THE best rat-hole thread ever. Excuse me while I go back and read through the entire new page of posts that popped up. I feel I am partially to blame. And i meant no harm with "face. palm." Basically everything that comes out of my mouth or through my keyboard is loaded with sarcasm, cockery, and teabaggery. 
If the words "hardcore street racer" would just stop getting used we could stop teabagging this dead horse already though. I am just going to leave this here for people that would like to know what it is really like up in the bay area mountains at night..
