I'm too old.
Maybe wise? might consider getting on the track
on the motorbike (pacer)... maybe not that wise,
if I would go on the motorbike.
Can still remember, at a meet, when Chum Taylor
took a Speedway m/bike around Lake Monger Velo.
Cheers,

These are the latest pacer bikes (from Ghent 6-Day... 166.6m track), at least you get a bit of exercise.

Nah, I'd stick to a derney, little bit of exercise,
some excitement, and more comfort, if I was back on the track.
Thanks,
