  • No, we welcome all brand owners to participate. All motorcycles must pass technical inspection. 
• What type of track prep requirements are there? What if I don’t satisfy all requirements?

The track prep requirements are as follows: Taped mirrors, headlights, taillights, blinkers. You may also unplug your taillight so it doesn’t light up. It is not required that you swap coolant for water. If you have specific questions email [email protected]
• I have never ridden on a track, can I still attend?
  • Yes. While this is not a beginner’s course, having track experience is not a requirement. The C group will be for the least advanced riders and we have coaching staff on hand to provide guidance on and off track.
• What happens if it rains?
  • While the track may operate under wet conditions, it is not likely that Aprilia demo rides will continue if the track is deemed unsafe for DOT tires by the event management. As long as the track does not shut down due to the conditions, all riders will still be allowed to take their own bike out on track, at their own risk. This is a rain or shine event.
• What kind of gear do I need to bring?
  • You must have a full faced DOT helmet, gauntlet gloves, a one piece leather suit (or leather two-piece that zips together), over ankle boots.
• Do I need to bring my own gear to come?
  • It is recommended that you come with your own track gear. Dainese/AGV will offer some demos on their gear, but size and availability are limited and not guaranteed. Which is why having your own gear is best.
• I see photography will be complimentary, how do we get our photos?
  • Following the event the photos will be uploaded to a website where you can download your photos directly. The URL will be provided to you from the Aprilia team within one week of event completion.
• How do the sessions work at the track?
  • Upon arrival at the track, you will visit the Aprilia Registration Desk. At this time, you will register and determine your group. The sessions will be broken down by rider skillset; A= Experienced, B= Intermediate, C= Beginner. Track events will be broken up into three 20-minute groups per hour based on riding experience, so each customer can enjoy the day at a pace that is comfortable to them.
• When are the sessions at the track?
  • Each session will begin with A Group, at the top of every hour.  For example, 9:00am – 9:20am > A Group.  9:20am – 9:40am > B Group.  9:40am – 10:00am > C Group.
• Do I need to have medical insurance?

  • Yes. You must provide an emergency contact who is not participating in the track day.
