How do i get into motorcycle racing?

  • I have a Passion for riding for year but I'm 24 now and would like to get into the professional side of it. Where do I start ?

  • Answer:

    Get a motor cycle, stay with your day job and ride amateur for the fun of racing. Casey Stoner has just turned 24 a couple of weeks back, he the MotoGP champion, not for the first time and he is your age and your thinking about starting; Sure start racing but give up on thinking you could make a professional rider and do it for the fun and challenge...

buy a good reliable race bike, find your nearest track that holds practices and races, practice a lot, once your confident sign up for their race events, travel to other tracks and do the same. It all starts there really.

What kind of professional motorcycle racing? Professional motorcycle racing is a young mans sport. I'm not saying that you can't or won't be able to turn pro, but the cards are stacked heavily against you. The oldest professional racer I knew of was Steve Morehead. He was 43 when he retired from professional racing. He started when he was 16 though, which is still rather late in pro motorcycle racing. http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.aspx?RacerID=321 I don't know what you do for a living now, but if you want to turn pro, you have to be winning every weekend in "A" class, hit all of the state qualifiers and qualify for Loretta Lynn's. You will literally have to quit your day job. You will need to be riding for at least 3 hours a day. Running and lifting weights for another 3 hours a day. Professional motorcycle racing is a job. You go to a job for 8 hours a day, you need to be riding and training for 8 hours a day. Good luck, have fun and remember the training motto: "every day you don't train, your competition does".
