I would hope to go as fast as my bike will take me, but I only have a mesh suit, no leathers to speak of.

must haves: LEATHER JACKET, leather gloves and over ankle boots. good tread and chain guard, helmet (for those who couldnt guess)


leather bottoms needed only if you break over 130 mph. which on a stock bike is unlikely.

Well it doesnt even need to be a leather jacket I know a few that race in textile down there. But anyway Jim its nice to know you dont need a helmet lol. But I believe its anything over 120 you have to be in either a onepeice leather suit or a two peice as long as it zips all the way around.

well i thought a helmet was a given. i did quite a bit of drag racing my bike and i was told leather. and the bottoms dont actually have to zip. i know cause one day i actually used a buddies chaps cause i didnt have leather bottoms. and i couldnt remember for sure if it was 120 or 130 but either way, unless you have a newer 1000 its not too likely you will break that speed. especially if your shooting out of the box right.

Thanks for the help, but I think I'll just try and contact the track directly.

Just helmet, boots, jacket and gloves you should be fine. If you do go over 120/130 they will let you know and kick you off the track till you get the right gear
