Allenraulet Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Im a 36 yr old dude but have been riding 2 wheeled vehicles since I can Remember. I had a VF500F ( little VFR) with bald tires and worn sprokets but rode it like the world was ending. that was 1995. Bring us to 2005 and I reentered the 2 wheeled cadre with a 88' Honda Hawk. Here's the deal peoples: I weigh 195lbs.s The Hawk would appreciate 20 pounds lighter for sure. Will I feel out of place on a bike that has 60 more hp than whaT I'M USED TO RIDING? No One Talks About this but: IF I WAS TO DO A TRACK DAY OR 2 AT THE AGE OF 36 WHAT ARE GOOD "MOTORCYCLE PROFICIENCY" WORKOUTS????? SQUATS? WRIST CURLS? CALF EXTENSIONS? PUSH UPS? GIVE ME A TRACK DAY WORK OUT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I signed up for the miller motorsports park 2-day camp on June 2- for hazing purposes only...... Quote
adobo Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Your legs will get most of the workout... particularly your quadriceps and calves. push ups/bench press will help with turning I would recommend doing cardio to build up your stamina (a cycle machine would be best), push ups/bench press, squats or forward leg dips, calf raises.

Allenraulet Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 Thanks, I work out fairly regularly so feel pretty decent about my muscle strength. Bench Press 150lbs - 4 sets, Squats 180ish-3 sets.. But will incorporate calf raises. What I'm most worried about is my stamina as I'll be At miller which is at a higher altitude than San Francisco. Maybe I should Switch emphasis to running an cycling for the next few weeks to build some lung capacity If indead that is a possiblility. Nothing is worse than sucking wind at altitude-my main concern. Thanks for the tips Allen Quote
