Reviewed calendar. High school reunion that weekend. Milestone year. Might still run out on Sunday if the weather is nice. I can't hardly resist the thought of RL in leathers.  |

My friends' recent moto accident has convinced me that riding on the track must be less risky than street riding. No oncoming traffic, no trees, ditches or fence posts, no gravel patches from intersecting roads, etc. plus the added benefit of learning to better control my bike in a manner that could very well save my life on the street.
That being said, I think I owe it to myself and family to wear quality track protective gear. I realize that as a novice, I won't be riding aggressively. But stuff can happen. I have leather pants with armor. I have a good textile jacket with armor. However, I don't have back protection, boots that protect shins, or track quality gloves.
Thoughts?

Should I just bite the bullet and get a one piece leather suit?

What you have is VERY adequate for track day duty in my opinion. Get yourself a decent pair of boots, gloves, and back protection and you're set! Cycle Gear in Tulsa, on your way to the track has everything you need. Their house brand spine protector is 40.00 bucks.
One piece is great, but absolutely not necessary.

Thanks. I'll order some stuff from Revzilla. Noticed no Snell rating is required on helmets, so my modular DOT will be fine?

I got back and chest protectors and mounted them permanently in my existing jacket. I like having them on, even for Starbucks runs.  |

Cool. I need to get a back protector to install in my winter jacket. Now that i'm used to it i think I would feel strange with ought it.

Got the Bike, the gear, the track fever, but was of this time no way to get bike there.
Can not seem to find a 4x7 or 4x8 utility trailer for mass floor for under $600. Been thinking an utility trailer will do better job of replacing the pickup than a bike trailer.

You're welcome to use my trailer, RL. It's an open offer until you find one.
We're not pulling mine to Hallett this trip, so it's wide open!
