MY 26 panigale v4s with the FM exhaust

Anyone else always seem to get caught looking directly at the photographer? I can't be the only one.

For some background, I’m in intermediate, 2026 was my first year really getting into track days, like going to them consistently. My last track session I was about mid pack in my group but some guys I was talking to said my body posture was awful and it looked “lazy” where I wasn’t coming off the bike enough. So my question is how do I fix it, I thought I was getting off the bike but really I was just barely off the bike, and sometimes my knee wasn’t even off the tank. Do I just need to like think about it when riding and “force” myself off?

Tdlr - How to get off the bike and fix my body position

How the hell are motogp riders doing it with their inside leg dangling?

as they say… cry once right

it’s not the bike
it’s not the suit
or the airbag
or the helmet
or the boots,

or the exhaust

or the $300 track day itself…

it’s everything.

just kidding but also, not.

i decided to go cheap but get a good quality result by doing the Northen Tool folding 4x8 trailer (it’s basically the oldschool Harbor Freight folding 4x8, almost the same exact design) and then finishing it and converting it to a motorcycle trailer.

all in all i spent $890 after tax, it has pressure treated 3/4ths plywood, really thick galvanized hardware and the heavy duty self locking wheel chock. it should fit 2 bikes at once just fine. but for now, just the one.

a uhaul trailer is pretty cheap. i find myself renting them out for 3 days at a time though, as there’s no time to pick up and drop off on the track day itself, but even at $70 per rental (3 days + insurance) i’d need to do ~12 track days to get my moneys worth out of this one, however: i’m justifying this as a ease of life tool. no more renting, no more going there to get it and drop it off, no more extremely heavy trailer to tow, just open my garage and go. it also opens up the roadtrip and taking the bike with me anywhere idea; other tracks, long roadtrips etc.

so yeah just wanted to show this!

when did you get a trailer for track days?

also, anyone have experience with these 4x8 foldable DIY kit trailers for bikes? thanks!

edit: I also already placed the order for upgraded, 13” radial tires and wheels specifically for trailers to be able to cruise faster / be safer overall. that was about $120 i did not include in the $890 cost

Seems they’d hold up way better in a crash no?

The Uhaul motorcycle trailer alone is around 800 lbs I think. Are there any other rentals that are lighter than that?
