Most riders dream of riding Phillip Island. It is a MotoGP track! I make the trek to Australia and skip right over the Great Barrier Reef and onto the legendary Phillip Island GP. Everything about the experience was incredible. While expensive, I'll never regret it...
I've been going to the Ridge since it opened and it is a fantastic facility. The best track day organizers I've used are OPRT and MotoFit. This year I have a better track bike, a Kawasaki ZX10R and a lot of extra instruction. I am able to do laptimes of 1:57 this year...
