Femmoto Trackday LVMS, Oct 1, 2005

[LiN Mae]

Ladies,
Becky and I talked about doing this trackday hosted by Femmoto in Las Vegas on Saturday, Oct. 1st. Seeing if anyone else is interested! Check out their site (www.femmoto.com (http://www.femmoto.com/) ).

Let's get the Hypercycles ladies together and roll deep! You know how we do. :thumbsup:

Femmoto - What is a typical track day ??
It's all about the Experience. The thrill of riding on a racetrack and testing out the manufacturers motorcycles by getting on track demos. No cars, signals, driveways, cops, radar guns, gravel, double yellow lines, or other distractions....just the pure joy of riding!

It's you, on one of the America's most popular racetracks, having a good time and honing your skills in a safe and controlled environment.

It's the ease of showing up at a professionally run event where we have thought of ALL your needs. No baloney sandwiches and stale chili here. Femmoto events are a cut above in every aspect.

No...our track day experience won't be for everybody. We are not a racing school, nor are we an "open practice" session for racers preparing for their race weekend. There are plenty of opportunities for schools and practice session for those so inclined. We cater to select women who want to have a quality experience while riding....just riding...at their own pace...fast or slow, with their own genger.

But are racers welcome? Of course. We just want to make sure that everyone understands that our focus is to make sure that ALL our guests will have an appropriate group in which they can be comfortable, from rank novices who have never been on a track to professional racers.

Spend a day with us...

7:00 AM - Gates Open
Enter the track, sign the venue's liability waiver at the gate.

7:15 AM to 8:00 AM - Registration & tech inspections
Meet us at the registration area to check in and be assigned to a riding group. Turn in your liability waiver and any last minute paperwork to us. Saturday sign up for the bikes you want to demo ride.

8:45 AM - Rider's Meeting
This meeting is mandatory for all riders. As you finish your breakfast, we will brief you on the track conditions, general rules, flags, and a recap of safe track entry and exit. We introduce our instructors so you can pick them out. Immediately following the rider's meeting all beginner group guests will have a mandatory meeting with our instructors for more in depth instruction.

9:00 AM - First track session
The sessions will rotate in order of Intermediate, Advanced, Novice. During each session, those riding in the next session should gear up and be ready at the marked grid entry at least 5 minutes prior to the start of their session.

12:00 PM - Lunch Break
Meet us at the registration area for a tasty lunch for all riders.

5:00 PM (depending on venue) End of Day
It's time to pack up and head home, or better yet camp at the track (where available) or a nearby hotel where you drop your gear and relax. Get ready for the next day of riding!

[TIFOSO]

I'll be there....Umbrella Dude for the GF. :thumbsup:

vegas baby!.....vegas!

[Nenna]

oh i really want to. i could probably even get work off now if i request it.... hm....

[cbrsmurf]

This is a frickin great deal for the ladies, I hear you only have to pay $125 (for non-members) AND they provide you with a bike!!! I wonder if they'll let me sign up if i wear the pink suit...

[bex]

I am totally in if I have a bike by then.. :)

[05GSXR600]

You know, I was going to say yes...but after reading "Bike Preparation for Sundays Track Day (Also know as "101 uses for duct tape")" ..."10) No Fur Allowed."..........I just don't know now........I bought a mink seat with matching handgrips :roflmao: ... j/k More than likely I will be there :rockon: will know better towards the end of August.

[LiN Mae]

Just signed up for Oct 1, ladies. I'll be running with the intermediate group (no comments, fellas :-p). Anyone else in?

I've even got me an umbrella boy! :woot:

[cycle_chick]

So...your saying they give you a bike??? Because I don't think my baby would fit in to well on the track. If that is for sure then you might have to count me in.

[LiN Mae]

So...your saying they give you a bike??? Because I don't think my baby would fit in to well on the track. If that is for sure then you might have to count me in.

Hey Sandahl! Yes, they give you bikes to try out.

What does Demo Track Day Mean? You do not bring your own motorcycle to ride. A demo track day is where motorcycle manufacturers who recognize the growing market of women riders bring motorcycles out to the track for women to test ride. Manufacturers such as Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, and Triumph, who attended Femmoto 2003 realize that men and women are different therefore a women's motorcycle will need to be set up diffidently then a mans. These manufactures want to hear what they can do on a continuous basis to improve the comfort of women riders not only on sportbikes but on any type of motorcycle. Femmoto is your chance to come out and support those who support you in your quest to find the motorcycle of your needs.

There are only intermediate spaces available, but from what I hear, the novice group is super super slow. Come join me!

[247BlackOut]

Doesn't look like there's any more spots for novice... :( Plus, no leathers and boots....

[Captain G Force]

Ok, this is Jenna, not lee. He knows better than trying to get in on a girl's day.

All right girls, I'm in!!! Intermediate (cause of the no-novice-spaces-left thing). Once again, second to sign up after Eileen. Who's next? Sean, you still got that umbrella hanging around? Cause your girlie's gonna need you to hold it for her!

[LiN Mae]

:woot:

The cycy girls put the sin in Sin City. :evil:

[247BlackOut]

I would be signing up next, but I really don't think I can hang with intermediate. =( Little riding experience right here... Let me know what you girls think I should do.

[Captain G Force]

hey it's Jenna again. Why don't you give the organizer an email and ask if they can bump you down in case anyone else wants to move up? Her email's at the bottom of the femmoto website.

[Nenna]

Hey girls, let's get a roll count and then see about booking a hotel room? give me a call or IM and let me know

[LiN Mae]

Hey girls, let's get a roll count and then see about booking a hotel room? give me a call or IM and let me know

So far, it's just you and me, girlie. Let's try and get the room by the end of the week. I'll chat with you about the room situation. :cool:

[Termin8r]

Hey!!! I have been to lots of track days with you Mister! But it is a little soon, I am a little broke, and I still want to know what happens if you crash their bikes!

[TreAdidas]

and I still want to know what happens if you crash their bikes!

I was looking over the page and I am like uhhhhh idongeddit...

There has to be some sort of repercussion if you wad a Ducati.... there just has to be.

[LiN Mae]

Ladies/gents, I emailed Bonnie and am awaiting a response regarding what would happen in the event of a crashed bike. I'll keep you posted.

Heh me too :)

[bex]

Paid and confirmed, honeys!

I noticed when ordering that if you order the femmoto membership, you save $5 overall on the track day. Also, if you add the $35 femmoto membership to your cart along with the stt membership, you will find that the two prices change to make the total $35, so you get both memberships, two T-shirts, and the track day for $120. Nice.

Guys: Why not come for the Sunday track day? $160

A customer at Buymoto today said he got a cheap rate at the Stratosphere Hotel, about 20 minutes away. $100/night. Any takers?

Thanks for checking...
Looks like I'm going anyway.. I will just ride hard (or harder) depending on the answer to our question. :)

Just go with me in the broke girl club.. we'll cut all the corners and ride there in my lil 34mpg car. :) Cheap hotel!

[TreAdidas]

Cheap hotel!

This is Vegas... there is no such animal.

YOu guys should try the Barcelona Hotel and Casino...

:roflmao:

oh wait a minute... since I'll porbably be rolling with this entourage... you should definitely NOT try this place... no matter what Arnold says!

[bex]

This is Vegas... there is no such animal.

FALSE!
Check it: Hotels.com lists the Speedway area under "las vegas" on the main page, and they start at $59.00 with plenty of choices under $100. The key? Stay away from the strip. :thumbsup:

I think we'll be trying to coordinate room sharing by the end of the week. You, Jenna, and I are in. We can all share a room and have pillow fights and wear our lingerie... oh wait...

I talked to one of the girls who has done this Demo track day before.

LiN Mae: i've a couple of girls who wants to do femmoto but are concerned with crashing bikes... do you know what the policy on that is?
HoolieB: Since they're demo bikes, they won't be liable for the cost of the repairs. It's not like a rental fleet, thank goodness!
LiN Mae: so if you crash 'em, they're just like, whatever?
HoolieB: If you crash 'em (which DID happen last year) and you weren't being a total :squid: they were cool.
LiN Mae: wow, that's really cool! are they slightly banged up bikes then?
HoolieB: No, they're in pristine shape...until we've had our ways with 'em that is...

Still awaiting a reply from Bonnie, just to make sure though...

[bex]

NO WAY! That is amazing!!!!!
We are gonna get to ride so hard... :thumbsup:

[h2o-girl]

Geeze girls, this is mighty tempting... Maybe I will go on an unintended diet to save some $$...

[LiN Mae]

My response from Bonnie:

Eileen,

Yes, you sign a manufacturer waiver before you ride the demo bikes. You will get five sessions on five different bikes throughout the day. I am just getting ready to send out the email packet for the event.

Bonnie

[TreAdidas]

And my response as well:

Every participant signs a manufacturer waiver. If the rider does something stupid/reckless then they are responsible for damages. If not their fault or just a little tip over then the manufacturer takes care of it.

Bonnie
sounds like a lot of grey area to me :rolleyes:

I say you lowside, highside, or run the bike off track and it tips over....Im damn sure you are going to be paying for it.

The only way that I see it working in your favor if someone else screws up royally (runs into you, stuffs you) and in which case they are paying

[LiN Mae]

I think if the girls ride within their limit, it should be fine. I don't foresee any major crashes as long as egos are kept in check.

[GPTECHMAN]

I wonder if there is a limit to what you have to pay for, some sort of insurance or deposit?
One lowside can run up a huge bill

[GPTECHMAN]

I think if the girls ride within their limit, it should be fine. I don't foresee any major crashes as long as egos are kept in check.
Oh I've heard everything now.... :silenced: :ha:

[LiN Mae]

Oh I've heard everything now.... :silenced: :ha:

:-p :-p :-p :-p

[247BlackOut]

Awwww....I got a reply from Bonnie and she said she can't bump me down. I need some more ride time under my belt before I can show up to the track.

I'm still thinking about just going to hang out, but that'll be a lot of $$$. Should save up for a bike instead. ^_^

[Nenna]

I booked my own room for the track day cause i wanted to be sure that everything's settled now, and i didn't know who else was going. however, in case you wanna know, i'm in the holiday inn express, it's like five miles away or something. very close (search the hiexpress.com website for north las vegas, by nellis air force base). rooms start at 88/night, look for the best rate, even if you're like an aaa member. it's cheaper this way. i'm glad you're going bex! so glad we're gonna have a couple girls out there from down here.

[GPTECHMAN]

talk about not having any ride time....talk to nicole. She had about 2 tanks worth of ride time before she hit the track.....We're trying to breed the most fierce track animal known to mankind....She will be stronger and faster...

[247BlackOut]

LoL, yeah Nicole rocks! :rockon: But I personally wouldn't try a track for myself if I can't get into the novice group. Have fun out there girls. =)

[Crayziness]

[thisxgyrl]

[hypersport]

Heck, most of these women have more track time than Rich 'Excuni8tr' :ha: Props to ya'll ladies!!

[LiN Mae]
