If ya bike is warranted then ya wont have a prob (tyre pressure ! Think tyres before ya go out) If you wear boots gloves protective trou and jacket they'll let ya out there ! (leather is the go for road or track but cordura will get ya out there)

Okay. Well done for asking.

Your bike doesn't have to have oil or water overflow catchers, or wired sump-plug or wired oil-filter for a track-day...Don't know why, but they don't.

You need....Leathers, or Cadura (if you're brave enough) Good gloves, properly-fitting helmet, the 100 bucks entry fee, and gas.

You elect the group 4 to begin. If you think you're bit of a knob jockey, then still go with group 4 to begin. You can always move up during the day.

AMCC (Puke) does a really tight operation. You'll get to 'walk' the track. And when you get going you will have line-marshals leading you for the first two circuits. If you ask, they will lead you at any other time you ask. And they are really good riders who know what it's like to be a newbie.

On the net, go to AMCC. There you will find the schedule.

Have fun. Go hard.

Judging by the waiting lists for MotoTT I'd be surprised if attracting more riders was there #1 business objective.

[dpex]

Haha you just wait till next saturday mate ! I heard you might just be a force to recon with for the old steam train now ! So might just have to pull me a rabbit out the hat !

With all that hair, you don't have room for a rabbit in your hat.:-)))

Coal! Seven cents a kilogram!

Shame on you.

You wish, Buxton!

I think a barrier for many new riders is that they tend to have spent all their bike budget on bike, and cordura road kit, then once they realise that the track is realistic they find themselves wishing for a set of leathers.

Well, at least that's what happened to me. But I'm saving!

Yes. You're quite right. But there's AMCC, Kiwi Track Days, redline Track Days, and then of course, there's those mad buggers who race....but that kinda comes after a few track-days unless you hve really big balls.

You can do a track-day in Corduras, Mcwild, just do it in the slow group unless you want to buy a new set.

Corduras, as I understand the matter, are a one-hit outfit. You come away with most of your skin, but the need to buy a new set.

Corduras are good for the road...if you're biking mostly safely. But they're still one-hit.

You don't need to buy expensive leathers; just leathers. You skid the arse out of them, then you take them to Kerry. She gives you the Billy about what a useless set of leathers you have, then she fixes them, and poom! You'e on the track again.

Kerry fixes cheap leathers for less than the price of a meal at a half-way decent restaraunt.

The message here being, buy cheap. Then after you splat, Kerry will double stitch the bits which should have been, and you'll be away.

Kerry, BTW. Can be found in St Kevin's Arcade. Auckland. Finest woman I've met in a long time.:--))

Yeah well. Just 17 seconds behind Stroudy does it for me. That's just 14 and a bit percent slower.
