First time on a track with my single carb xt600

As the title say it's my first ever time on a track... I dedicate this video to turboguzzi who rides on a track his xt and he's been a huge help and inspiration for me!
So this video is for him!

nice! looks a bit rough, but wouldnt mind such a "free track" next to home.
maybe get at least one proper track training session with a pro so you learn the basics like right lines and body position. You can ride 30 years on the street but still be slow when you hit a track....
What area is it? my friend in Matala might want to join you
PM me if it's a top secret...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
