Advice: Hard to pinpoint one particular piece of advice but Paul’s advice on entry speed with braking less longer or Kris’s knowledge of how to break down a track are the ones that stand out the most.

I started riding motorcycles in college. I got my first bike, a 1993 Kawasaki Ninja EX500, in May of 2009. I rode around all that summer and got connected with a local bike night. At bike night I was introduced to track days in May of 2010 at Loudon Motor Speedway. Bike night also introduced me into the world of dual sport motorcycles and eventually riding dual sports/dirtbikes on the ice in the winter. Present motorcycle stable includes a 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 track bike, a 2018 Husqvarna FE350 for off road/ice, and a 2021 Yamaha Tenere 700.

Advice: You control your own pace. Don’t let others in your riding group put you in a situation over your head.

Gino is awesome and his bio is coming soon!

For over 40 years I have been a commuter, tourer, off-road rider, track day instructor, road racer, drag racer, and plain old street rider (my wife and daughter also ride). I am the author of two books, “Riding in the Zone” and “Motorcycling the Right Way”. My writing can be seen previously in Motorcyclist Magazine and in Motorcycle Consumer News (before print died). I was lead instructor for Tony’s Track Days for 24 years, and currently operate “Riding in the Zone” Non-Sportbike Track and Street Training. I am a 20-year MSF RiderCoach, veteran road racer, and off-road rider. I am an experienced off-road rider and amateur championship-winning road racer, starting in 1986.

Advice: Look where you want to go, not where you’re afraid to go.

My love for riding started at the age of 14, with my first bike being a Kawasaki KX125. After turning 16 years old, I tearfully sold this bike for a car. My parents were not fans of motorcycles so I wasn’t able to get back on two wheels until college when I was technically “out of the house”. It wasn’t long before I attended my first track day and I was instantly hooked! I remember thinking to myself – “This has been here my whole life and I’m only finding out about it now!” What a perfect opportunity to a true feel for my bike, go ridiculously fast, and maybe learn a thing or two along the way 🙂

Advice: “Go to a track day.”

Thanks to my Dad, I started riding dirt when I was about 10 and promptly got my MC license as soon as I turned 16 through the MSF. In 2009, I did my first TTD and in 2012 was asked to join the staff. With the knowledge and skills I built there, I began racing with ECK and quickly joined the expert class.  Fun fact: Tim recruited Kerry to come ride and work for TTD. 

Advice: Relax 

I bought my first bike the day I turned 18 (Suzuki Katana 600) and I haven’t looked back! I spent a lot of time street riding in college – kind of clueless, but racked up some miles.  In 2005, I moved to Tucson and made a switch from street to dirt riding. I entered the world of Arizona trail riding on a CRF450. A buddy of mine talked me into a weekend with the California Superbike School at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a great experience. I went home and picked up a well set-up 2005 R6 track bike and have tried to hit every track weekend I could since.  I was a bit bummed when I finally did move back to New England – I didn’t think track riding could get better than what I had in a nice, sunny part of the country. Then I found Tony’s! I started in blue group – did some PI with Paul and worked at it, progressed to black group to start the 2018 season. I was so excited to join Tony’s family in 2021.

Advice: I am going to cheat and list two – both from Tony’s instructors during PI and both helped me break through plateaus. For dissecting a track – make the fast corners fast, let the slow corners be slow. For becoming more precise and tightening it up around apexes – be patient.

I’ve always been fascinated with motorcycles and speed. I started riding an old Ninja 500 after High School and since then I’ve had many different bikes from CRF100s to Harleys to S1000RRs. One of my friends recommended a TTD event…. I never knew that you could actually ride your own bike on track. We signed up for 1 day at NYST and next thing you know I’m at every TTD event. I started in Red Group and came up through the TTD Program. I love the TTD atmosphere and I love riding here. Outside of TTD you can catch me Racing at NHMS out of Center 6, on the Dirtbike trails or a Snowboarding down a mountain.

Advice: Have fun and look further ahead. It’s a big puzzle and you put it together one piece at a time.

I first started riding when the next-door neighbors pulled a 2hp mini-bike out of their basement. One ride on that brakeless little machine that struggled to get over a garden hose was all it took. My mother and father both rode while I was growing up and encouraged my interest in the sport. I’ve ridden dirt since I was 13, street since I was 16, road raced for 5 years, and have been doing track days for almost 20 years. I’ve gone up and down the East Coast on a motorcycle solo as well as spent 13 weeks in the Deal’s Gap area on bikes. I’m most comfortable riding naked bikes, so you’ll see me on track on my trusty red 2006 Suzuki SV650, or my 2021 KTM Duke 890R. Besides riding, I enjoy cooking and playing music in a band.

Advice; Never stop learning! Everyone progresses at their own rate, and people all learn differently. Find how you learn best (visually, listening to others, trying yourself, etc), and put in the work to better your riding. And always use any opportunity you can to learn from others.

I started riding dirt bikes 45 years ago, progressed to street bikes in the early 80’s and never looked back. My first track experience was in 1993 at Donningon Park in England and I started riding with TTD in 2008 before joining the staff in 2011. I raced with USCRA for 3 years winning 2 class championships in 2018. Many of the staff became good friends and so this was the perfect opportunity to hang out more while continuing to learn and pass on my experience to others.

Advice: Be smooth and keep your head up!

I began riding in 2010 because I wanted to ride with my friends who already had motorcycles. After meeting many of the folks we ride with today at Cyclesmith, I was encouraged to do a track day. My first was with Tony’s Track Days in late 2011. From there I started racing in 2015 and finally in 2024 I became an Expert Road Racer (at the club level) and joined Cyclesmith staff. Having been a customer since 2011 I’ve got to say the staff is the best around. Having the chance to be a part of that and give back to the customers is a dream come true.

Advice: Ride within your own limits and know what those limits are. Easier said than done, but if done right, you’ll keep yourself out of a lot of trouble and learn something in the process.

Once I started riding a motorcycle I really haven’t looked back.  Initially, my riding was 100% on the street.  Realizing that I wanted to learn to be a better rider and to do so in a safer environment led me to track days with TTD.  Continuing to ride with TTD and seeing my pace pick up led me to try my hand at roadracing with the LRRS series.  I dabbled in roadracing off and on for a while and also picked up a dirtbike to continue my riding education in the woods.  After taking a break from riding track days I realized that the sport of motorcycling is just as much, if not more, about the people you meet and the experiences shared among them.  This realization brought me back to the track day world and the opportunity to control ride for TTD.  I look forward to meeting more people and sharing the world of motorcycling with them.

Advice: Utilize the staff to help you work towards whatever your personal goals are. And, life away from the track is difficult enough so enjoy when you are at the track. 

You will find her behind the desk at the tech area helpoing out in the morning and throughout the day. Cathy has been at the track since the late 60s when her husband took them on their first date to a drag race in NJ. Since then, she has been to tracks all over the world. She is pure racing family. She loves chatting MotoGP and especially F1 so if you are a fan, she would love to tell you how much she doesn’t like Hamilton!

In 1984, I bought my first street bike and have been an avid rider ever since. I caught the racing bug after a California Superbike School at Loudon and raced most of the ‘90s. I was fortunate to be able to race with LRRS, CMRA, and the WERA National Endurance Series.  2010 is the first year I can recall attending a Tony’s event and have been coming back ever since. I’ve had the opportunity to ride with many track day organizations and feel TTD has found a great recipe for fun and safe events, the passion of the staff is infectious, and the sense of community in the paddock is second to none.  After 10+ years as a customer of TTD, I’m excited to start a new chapter as a staff member of the organization and helping the community meet their track day goals.

Advice:

Woody started riding when he was 18 and hasn’t stopped.  Back in 2007 is when he first caught the track bug riding his SV650 street bike at a Tony’s Track Day.   He took his riding to the next level in 2012 when he started road racing.  Over the years Woody has learned a lot about himself and his limits riding and racing bikes.  He has had his fair share of highsides, lowsides, near misses and everything in between.  Through it all Woody is still driven to continually challenge himself with riding and try to get better every time he throws a leg over a bike.  More importantly Woody is very passionate about sharing this knowledge he has gained with others!  Woody’s riding experience includes all classes of road racing, supermoto, dirt track, enduro and ice.  Some of the best times he has on the bike these days are working with students at Tony’s Track Days and sharing their passion for riding.  Beyond his own riding, Woody spends time with his 14-year-old son, Henry, building his skills to continue to become a better rider.

Advice: Make sure you are having fun!  It can be very easy to focus on riding improvement goals and get discouraged when improvements do not come as quickly as you hope.  Try to remember why you are riding in the first place and HAVE FUN!
