It’s often said that it’s better to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. This saying has pretty much become a cliche at this point, and for good reason. There’s something inherently fun about a bike that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and on top of that, these types of bikes are excellent platforms to learn the ropes on – especially when it comes to track riding.
Hitting the track is tons of fun, but it goes without saying that it requires a lot of direction. Simply heading over to your local track day without any knowledge whatsoever isn’t really a good idea. Luckily, there are lots of beginner-friendly track day organizers out there, one of the newest of which is SoCal-based Compact Octane.
