There is a demo day at Thunder Valley tomorrow and I was thinking of going. Anybody been to one? I can't imagine it being too busy being a Friday but I'm curious how much riding I get to do on each bike. No open riding though which sucks. I'd like to bring my 15 300 and ride back to back against the 2020(they are going to have an offroad loop for the xc models) and my 18 yzf450 against the sxf. Basically if I can only do a lap or two per bike I'd rather just go ride my bikes somewhere else.
Wouldn't be worth it to me if there's no open riding also going on.

This program is really awesome and I don’t see why people complain you only gettin 2 laps. It’s better than none. And If you yard sale the 150 (ask me how I know) and bend the bars.....they fix everything and still let
You ride until all your punches are gone.
And you get to ride 1 bike twice. There’s that. Ride whatever your interested in back to back....
The Glen Helen ride day was only open to the demo day, no open practice.
I got to demo the 16’ and 17’. I ended up buying a 17’ crf450. But that ktm 150 2 stroke was my favorite bike.
I know Yamaha will demo bikes, i wish Honda and Kawasaki did the same. It really does justify spending $10k on a dirtbike when you can ride a few different brands before you buy. Every person in line genuinely seemed interested in buying a new motorcycle.
I will say, sadly a rider passed away at the Lake Elsinore ride day. It was said he had a heart attack right before one of the jumps.
Yet KTM is still doing the demo days.
So what is preventing the rest of the gang from doing the same ?
