I don’t know about you guys, but the local tracks around here have been packed every weekend. Normally by July in some spots it’s pretty dead, but there are tons of folks burning motos right now.

I even went for a trail ride on some BLM land A few weeks ago and there were tons of bikes and side by sides.

Good to see people on dirtbikes and off the couch.

Oh my God....somebody could sneeze in front of you, then you ride thru the spray and you'll get the 'rona! Run for your lives.

(EDIT: sarcasm above for those who lack a sense of humor)

Good to hear people are out enjoying life. Lot's of folks on street bikes out there too.

Figured my local track would be slam packed on Saturday, only 15 or so trucks all day.

Even the week day evening practices have been packed. Usually the tracks start to thin out during summer when you start hitting 90 during the day. The track stayed packed and got the most blown out that I have seen it in quite some time.

Red bud wasn't as packed as I expected this weekend for their race. Good turn out but not like the amateur days last year.

The last time I was at Perris it was chaos...every level of rider on the track at once. Not the way I'd want to spend a practice.

There's so many people practicing on the local tracks that it's getting harder to schedule a race. Can't blame the tracks I guess, more money for less work.

I don’t know if it’s funny or pathetic that you thought you’re being sarcastic. But that’s basically exactly how it can spread.

Anyways, carry on. Full tracks are a great thing!

Ironic. Where are all the "stay at home Aunt Susans" raging over all the "selfish pricks" who go out riding "risking contracting/spreading" the virus or "tying up needed medical resources" if they get hurt? I guess that was so last quarter....right?


Again...for the record, I for one am glad to see people sack up and go out to live instead of cowering in fear.

My local track is Chesney Vale ride park here in Victoria Australia...I ride there and im a volunteer track worker there..
Since restrictions eased and we re opened, we've been the busiest we've ever been! So many new riders...lots of youngsters trying dirt bikes...lots of older guys going riding again..( no football going on )
Sometimes, I have not even been able to ride its been so busy..we try to keep 4 sets of eyes on the track at all times...we r all on uhf radios for coms ...new people take more supervision, we run a tight ship to keep things safe , fun and sensible for all.
We have been getting the majority of new trade from Melbourne..it's about 2 hrs on the freeway..
Those people just wanna get the he'll outta Dodge, go somewhere beautiful and enjoy beautiful dirt and a great track.
Sadly Victoria is probably heading back into full lockdown again..surely will b quiet this weekend..
Silver lining...I will get to ride my new bike!

Southwick, Field of Dreams, Budds Creek, Englishtown, all about 15-25 bucks more expensive than nornal. All of them have caps on how many people can ride in one day.

It was 92 degrees and there was a good turnout as Southwick the other weekend. Typically when it's that hot people stay home.

My cousin and her family live in Melbourne and I was pretty sure she said they are going back into full lockdown.
