I'm surprised the safety marshals let you. What track was it ?

You are probably a much better rider than me.

Second that. Good riders never fall off.

Thats why the average set of leathers for Moto GP is made entirely of Denim and cotton T shirts.

They just charge 5 or 6 grand for them to make people think they are safety conscious.

I am sure Shaun, or Stroud, or anyone else to hit quick laptimes never falls off, because they are now just so good at it. Thats why they dress like Wal from footrot flats. Also if you are going fast, falling off mightn't hurt as much.
So, yeah, just wear your dress pants and a ballerinas skirt. You'll be fine, whats all the fuss about?

Thanks everyone for your replies. Appreciate it. I think a pair of leathers may be in order. It just takes something like this and reading what some of you guys have said to give me a bit of a kick up the arse and go and purchase a suit. Thanks again. See you on the track.
Quasievil: Thanks very much for the offer. Think I should buy some tho. For some reason I cant seem to get into your website? Is there any reason at the moment?

yeah i was at pukekohe last weekend and they were all sweet about. i could of turned up in singlet and shorts and gumboots and that would have been sweet. i dont plan on falling off. i would rather not push the limits and walk away with a bike than go hard and walk away broken.

Go the the muppet racer thread, http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ghlight=muppet and ask who really planned on falling off on there.

I'm sure we all plan our bins. Sure, I think I'll throw away 5 grand worth of fairings today, hmm, yeah, what the heck.

Even better idea, plan for the eventuality, and then if it doesn't happen, you still look good. I have the odd scar from falling off in full gear now, and it doesn't take much.

Four weeks ago on Puke, with the drifters out the exit from every turn was just plain dodgy, the weather was good, but the drifters were bringing mud from off the track, right onto the lines. I'm not a rider of spectacular ability, but I nearly highsided several times, lost the front end a couple of times. I was able to keep it up. but will you be able to every time?

Especially at Puke, it isn't worth the risk.

Following a guy at taupo once, and his front brakes heated up a little and locked up. Not going hard. 110km down the track on your arse.
Will your jeans survive that?

No.

Wear the gear!!

Prevention is better then being wise after the event eh ?
