the trees are the only thing that have bugged me, but I assumed something would be done by next year the track doesnt open till may 13th so I’m not sweating it yet personal. Even so at beginners level I doubt I have to worry about them letting me go any faster than 60 to 80 mph. that’s within my comfort zone speed.

I could have told you a 250/300 makes a good track bike, anything 08+ really IMO. :rofl

Oh yeah forgot talked to a guy selling a set of Dianese fullmetal ross rep gloves for 300 bones let me know if you want’em.
