    Got Gear? Chicane 6/26 @ HPR

    Usually, we get a thread going for people who need to borrow gear to get on the track. A lot of us want to do a track day, but are missing one or two items necessary to meet the requirements. Lucky for us, the people of the CSC not only kick ass, but usually have tons of extra gear lying around, that they are willing to lend out for the day.

    How it works:
    1. Review the requirements for riding at a track day. ->Click here<-
    2. Figure out what you don't have and post up in this thread. Tell people exactly what you are looking for, and what size. If you don't know the size, give approximate body dimensions.
    3. Coordinate with the person to pick up the gear
    4. Have the best day of your life at the track
    5. Return the borrowed equipment. Usually within a week.

    Most people will lend out gear at no charge. It never hurts to offer a favor, cup of coffee or a beer, at the next event, to show appreciation. If you crash in someone else's gear, get it fixed or replace it. You are responsible. If you choose to screw someone over, we will all take it personally and you will have a few hundred sportbikers that are not your friends anymore.

    This thread also applies to needing a spot in a trailer to get out there.

    So feel free to post up what you need to borrow, or what you have to loan.

    Thanks everybody! And have a great trackday!!!!!

    I would love to know how a 500lb bike feels, breaking into t.4 with, a TKC80 on the front!

    At least I would have no issues blowing a corner. I could just roll over the hill from t.4-6!

    Since Rybo may be out of suits on account of his trailer being stolen.

    2Pc Tecknic suit. Sz US40 / EU 50. Older suit so you will look like a red power ranger, unvented so you will be a hot power ranger. Will bring to track if someone needs one.

    I might need 1 or 2 spots in a trailer...one for me & one of my friends if they go.

    We're still looking at other possibilities, but figured I post up now instead of being screwed later if we have no other options...

    Spiderman, PM sent regarding leathers and back protector.
    I had not heard Rybo had his trailer stolen. WEAK! I was planning to borrow from him...

    I'm looking for a trailer spot, I'm down in Parker.

    FYI:
    For people looking for spots in trailers, I've heard in the past that U-Haul has some trailers that you can load bikes into. If you have something to tow a trailer with, all you have to do is pick up some tie downs (Home Depot has some affordable ones) and rent the trailer for the day.

    I have A* SMX Plus boots in 45 EU 10 1/2 US that I won't be using that day, assuming I get to fill a corner worker position.

    Bump!

    Everybody have their gear? Anybody have room in a trailer or truck for some of these fine young lads? You can always make the passenger bring sammich's.

    good on you Sean for doing this again.

    I have a back protector and a 10X10 EZ up for the cause.

    Might end up needing some A-Stars pants (need to be able to zip into my jacket), size 48 or 50 will work. Prefer a 50. Yes, I'm a fatty!

    Would you be open to just a 1 pc? A 1 pc might be easier to find than just the pants. What are you, 6'1", 215/220lbs? I'm trying to think of who's around your size....

    If we don't get any bites here, maybe post up on the MRA board since you know a lot of those guys too.

    Yeah, 1 piece would work too. I'm 6'2" 230lbs. I can fit into a 48, but more comfy in a 50 w/ my wide shoulders.
