Sorry about posting another post, but I wanted to know what you guys think. I was thinking about taking my street bike and setting up a gear of like 28/9 or so and race it. Of course taking of the pegs and shit. I was wondering if this would work until I get the money to buy a GT Pro XL (the $1000 one). I use to race when I was younger and I want to get back into it. I think I have to start all over and work back to my pro position. But I think I'll have no problem going out and kicking some ass until I get back to my spot. But I wanted to know what you guys think I should do to get my street bike set for racing, I'm willing to take parts of and put stuff on if I need to.

Get a GHP. Or go on craigslist and try to find a race bike. Because i doubt you wanna waste 1k on a bike and turn around and not want it. Lol. Or you could be a boss and just be like this guy http://thecomeup.com/videos/brandon-doschs-road-to-recovery/ (skip to 1:54) But i thought about racing also. Because there is a track near me but i need brakes and pads and stuff. It's a good idea though. Go for it.

Haha I saw that earlier and was like "Oh shit! That's what I wanted to do." I'm gonna look around and see if I can pick up a PK Ripper for $200 or so aha. There's a ton of tracks around me and I'm gonna stick with it because I love being on a bike.
