Abandoned Velodrome - Detroit

$1.00 to first guy that posts a video of his vtr1000f riding at the abandoned velodrome in NE Detroit.
-If you do it and want your dollar, send me a link to the video in a PM,....I am not subscribing to this pointless thread.

No video, but I have a picture...

It was fun to ride, but a little rough and small for the hawk.

Come on man, post a video. I love this urban pioneer ****, and we're going to be seeing a bunch more of it in the future.
Get your muskets ready.

Nothing like racing around a track with an open face helmet, a T-shirt and sneakers!!

Alright, I'll try but I don't know if I want to go back. Both you and I know Atlanta has its rough areas, but Detroit looked horrific. I was in Detroit for a few hours on Sunday and I really have no reason to go back. I saw the fist thing downtown, a fist fight at a gas station, mile after mile of ghetto, and the velodrome. The guys riding mopeds at the velodrome were amazed to see me traveling alone and one of the guys said, "You are standing in the middle of ~36 sq. miles of rough area." Oh, and, "You better go bring your bike up here because, if they can't get it started, they will start pushing it."
