A friend has been talking about getting me out to a track for the last few years. I borrowed leathers and a couple bikes, and found out what it feels like to go over 140 mph on a Honda RC51 and scrape pegs on a 1996 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 on the New Jersey Motorsports Park Thunderbolt Raceway: 2.25 miles with14 turns and a 1/2 mile straightway.
