Where do you do track days for bikes?

Is there an organization that does amateur motorcycle racing and track days (like HPDE)? I looked at AMA and they didn't have much.

Around Texas, Ride Smart does bike track days.

The AMA supports that through a network of smaller organizations. I would venture that WERA is the closest to you.

Hallett has bike HPDE's.

NESBA

There is a road course in northernmost Florida that only does motorcycle events. http://www.jenningsgp.com/

Roadracing World and Motorcycle Technology has a comprehensive list of organizations. www.roadracingworld.com

I haven't done it, but grattan racetrack has events quite often.

I used to instruct at Sportbike Tracktime - www.sportbiketracktime.biz

They have a novice "school" that would be the best place to start. They used to rent gear and bikes, not sure if they still do.

Where are you located? I know Thunderhill does more bike days than car days (like 2-3 bike events EVERY week).

I have seen track days at Beaver Run in PA.

I know that there are lots of track days for bikes at VIR ... just don't know is the host...

This thread has got me wanting to do track days on my SV this summer. Now I just need to get some real gear (i have gear but not a full suit and boots).

I am in Northern Alabama or Southern Kentucky. I haven't got a motorbike yet. I was just wondering.

Evan (and original poster) - check out the link to Sportbike Tracktime. I looked, they do still rent full leather suits. Mid Ohio is so close, you really have to give it a shot. I instructed with the novice class there and at other tracks with SBTT and they are the best place to get your feet wet with track riding.

There is also a new track in KY that I have not been to yet. If in Alabama - you have lots of choices - Barber being the #1 by far.

They rent full leather suits? Hmmm I guess there is really no excuse for me not to get out there then. I used to be about 20 minutes from mid ohio but now it's about 40, still very close. Hopefully I can book some days this spring and summer.

We did a private test day years ago south and east (IIRC) of the Talledega Super Speedway on a track that seemed to be primarily suited for bikes. I forget the name of it...

Someone will help me out, I'm sure.
