> How to get started in motorcycle racing (road based)

Racing motorcycles is probably the most adrenaline pumping form of road based racing. It demands concentration, skilled machine control, bravery, and fitness. Road racing is run on purpose built racetracks, converted airfields and on closed public roads (i.e. The Isle of Man). There are numerous categories for road racing catering for small capacity bikes (50cc) through to large superbikes, there are categories of classic and vintage bikes, not to mention sidecar racing as well.

As with other forms of sport, its probably best to start racing when you are young having said that we are constantly amazed by the number of gray haired fellas we see on the track wearing novice vests (v. cool!)

A word of warning!

Racing motorcycles is one of the most dangerous sports known to man. If you participate in this sport you will most certainly suffer some sort of injury (perhaps serious/fatal).

Before you attempt any form of motorcycle racing we strongly recommend you take lessons from a qualified instructors. Read our disclaimer. Its also a good idea to get some life insurance and update your Will.
