Good move, Stu.....you'll learn HEAPS about both you and your busa's abilities on the track!! Pi_thumbsup

Make sure that your bike is in all round good condition.....they WILL do a scrutineering check on it, so give it a good look over beforehand, and make sure it ain't leaking any oil or other fluids out of places where it shouldn't, and check that all nut/bolts/fasteners, etc, etc are all secured properly!! Pi_thumbsup

Leather gear price has come down a fair bit in the last few years....so you should be able to get a decent quality one or two-piece suit for a few hundred $$$. Aim for (at very least) double stitching - and if you can afford it - go for TRIPLE stitched big brand named leather!! Try to avoid SINGLE stitched leather at all costs.....coz it WILL tear apart, very similar to denim jeans - in a high impact abrasive crash!!!

Some really sticky tyres will definately make your track day more fun - B'stone BT003's, Conti Race Attacks or anything else thats similar from other big name brands should see you right!! (obviously...having the right pressure in them will make a HUGE difference as well!!)

The most important advice about a track day that I could ever give you is: just make sure that you keep it F-U-N........but try to keep it safe, too! (coz you wanna ride home at the end of the day in ONE piece!!) Pi_thumbsup

WoW....I'm ToTaLLy ExCiTeD for you, coz juz like your very 1st root (unless she barred you up, then deliberately knocked you out, then banged your brains out whilst you're TOTALLY comatose...and then you eventually woke up with jizz and saliva stains and bruising all over the place but had a weird "extremely satisfied, but ya can't really remember a single damn thing about it" type feeling) ...you'll NEVER, EVER forget your 1st track day, either!!! Scary

Let us know when your heading out there....some of us might be keen to come along and have some fun with ya!!! Yes

ps: hit pan up for some tips and advice.....I'm guessing he's probably done more track days on a busa than anyone else around here!!
