Aus standards helmet ??? thought that was weird.Riding Gear Checklist
Minimum riding gear for The California Superbike School is the following. Gear will be checked at the scrutineering area, so please bring it with you as you are having your motorcycle scrutineered.
* Leather Jacket & Pants (the pants and jacket must zip securely together. The pants should also overlap the boots).
* No textile clothing allowed.
* Leather motorcycle boots (the boots must overlap the pants, so no skin or other clothing can be seen).
* Leather motorcycle gloves (protective materials such as carbon fibre or Kevlar knuckles or palms are strongly recommended).
* Full face helmet that meets Australian AS1698 standards. Visors must be correctly secured and in use.
* Although back protectors are not mandatory, they are strongly recommended.
* A full range of motorcycle riding gear is available for hire if required but is subject to availability and is strongly recommended that it is pre-booked

Thanks for identifying that. I'll get it changed.
From the Hampton Downs Ride Days website: http://www.hamptondownsridedays.co.n...&scommon_id=20
This one should list the correct NZ standard.
If you've got the option trailer your bike to the track. It means you can well and truly prep your bike the night before, cruise there in comfort with a few tools and tucker etc, and if the worst happens still cruise home albeit with a few more rattles coming from the back.
After a full day of intense concentration you'll be absolutely rooted anyway, and all round it just makes for a much less stressful day. Your mates might call ya soft but they'll be looking at your car with envy at the end of the day..... especially when ya drag out a coupla cold beers to celebrate your Rossi-ness.
true that, well i just may come down for at least half day.
if i can find some boots before hand i'll come down with all the gear on for just in case.
is it more of a race day or general riding for all classes?
do you need any experience at all to ride the track?
only ask cause they do that California Riding School separately and thought may need to do that before hitting the tracks...
cheers, may see ya there
actually they do hire gear out... all i need is boots so may just hire a pair
OK
answered all the questions above by actually reading from the website.
sweet, sounds like its perfect for me as a beginner.
Was just about to reply when you edited!
I'll be there running course control (Matt).
You'll be in for a great day.
Although we do run 6 sessions per group, if you get tired there's absolutely no shame in quitting early. Tired = Mistakes.
We'd rather you left with a nice shiny bike so you can come back next time!
ok, last questions...
looking at the ride classes from slow-fast, how slow would slow be?
i've only got a Bandit 250 so im guessing my class would be slow being first timer and slower bike ?
and if i wanted to just hire boots, cant select that from the online booking, only can select gear that would be everything. maybe i can just pay for boots on the day separately or is that not possible?
looking at trade me now though for some boots my size.
cheers
Highly recommend Pukekohe Open Testing days.
Every week, Friday or saturday. $90 for at least 7 sessions, so it's great value. No rules, no fuss and hassle, just go hard and have fun.
...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.
go in the slow group, learn the track, then go in a faster group later in the day if needed
dont ruch, learn brake points lines etc first
Motott has some good instructors (for free) that will show you around
get to hamilton i will trailer your bike down and you can come in the car with me if you like
Ive run out of fucks to give
Yes every week these track days are on which is great because you can pick a convenient time for yourself. Cars and bikes. Always lots of cool cars and bikes up there having fun. A very good day out![]()
...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.
are you in Auckland or something?
i think i'll go to Hampton downs ride day this Sunday as its only 26km from my house and seem to have a good thing going for learners.
but that Pukekohe track seems like a good option after I get some skill and confidence going, and the bonus of it opened a lot more.
cheers
update.....
once again, my reading skills are bad. its about 70kms to the track from my house South, must of searched there postal address.
still do-able.
