Going solo to the track.

Do it often. Rung my bell once but was ok getting home

I would usually know a few people there, if no one was there ...

Hey it's corner day !!!
Yes I've limped when I got back to the truck on "corner day" ... damn berms.

Not many of my buddies in the Marine Corps were real moto guys. The one that was got out a year ahead of me, so I was left either not riding, or riding alone when I was in my late 20's. I was stationed in 29 Palms and had about a 2 hour drive to all the tracks. I just pinned it after work 2 or 3 nights after work and figured if I smashed myself, I don't have a family depending on me, so I would just figure it out. I broke my elbow in 2009 at comp edge. Some guys loaded my bike and I drove my stick shift to the emergency room, then back to base.

When I got out of the Corps, I initially rode on my own. Most of my old riding buddies from back in the day were too busy with work, kids, family obligations to even own bikes. I went riding and racing anyway. I collected some new riding pals along the way and we hit up the same tracks together and what not.

Once I woke up in a hospital, not knowing my name or how I got there. I don't recommend riding alone, but at least know some people at the track. The announcer, flaggers, track crew and several racers at that track are friends and they made sure I was taken care of. In that sense, I almost never ride "alone".

The one that feels sketchy is when I ride here at my track during the week. I typically call my brother or my pal down the street and give them a "drop dead time". If I don't call and say I'm good by 6pm, call and/or check up on me.

I almost always ride solo. When my friends can ride, we all go, but I need to ride regardless .

I ride at tracks btw. I wouldn't ride hard somewhere where there aren't any people around. That would not be smart in my opinion.

That's the best way to go about it. Moto people are generally quality people.

Yea I don’t do that.

I definitely like having my normal riding buddies with me when I ride , but I won't NOT go to the track if none of them can't make it. I'll go by myself if I have to. And sometime I have to , if I want to ride. I miss a few ride days because of my work , and if I can squeeze in a Wednesday practice , and have to do it alone.....it's just the way it is. I always try and hook up with some of my buddies on the weekends if possible.

Tell someone who cares where you're going. If there's anyone else there than ride like normal. if there's no one else at the track than just take it easy.
