During winter I only get to ride once a week, if the weather allows for it at all and I notice how I don't even really develop a good feel for the bike and stay stiff all the time. During summer I manage to ride twice per week and that's much better, however I'm still young and passionate and want to move up the ranks, so I feel like I gotta ride at least one more day.
How do you really manage riding more than twice a week? With bike maintenance, fitness training, school (or work) I already feel very limited time wise. To get to a real track with laptimes above a minute I have to at least drive an hour, though there are some corner tracks a bit nearer.

i get home jump on the bike ride my track for 30 min then go to the gym and do a little running rowing and cycling, then on the weekend i go to tracks all around the state
if you ride hard at a good track, i mean hard not 15 on 15 off like 15 on a sip of water then go you will only need one day.
I set my bike up during the winter and have a bunch of extra parts sitting around from sponsors, or when i need something its there next day.
and during the week when i ride my private track i just rinse my bike off.
the main thing for me is changing tires.
I dont understand why you would need a day to wash and work on your bike.
The Shop
I also ride on-road with various bikes, those I ride on the daily as weather allows. Running around town on a CB500X or Z125 Pro is loads of fun and helps scratch the itch when I can't get on a track.
I only rode 3 times last year. Wife, kids, work and a house will do that to you though.
If not you are wasting your time and money not to mention of pain in the ass to change filters between Moto's.
A filter can easily Last One race day.
Pit Row
My offroad rides look very similar to G-mans,only I'm on a plated KTM 300
US Forest Service trail patrol Sequoia NF.
Have a few combat controller friends. All of them have loved it but few make it 20, injuries, constant deployments, etc. but definitely more rewarding than 90% of AFSCs.
