[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

I have all 3 you can loot. Also, it's Labor Day we SHOULD get it off...

PS When are we going on that ride?

Kat, it's the waiting game. We'll see :-/.

Yeah, waiting game... hmph :-/
With all that money you put into, making you wait for...
How long has it been since they've been working on it?

[Sarge]

Sweet. I've got a full 2 piece track suit (A* GP Pro) and a pair of SMX Plus boots, so I'm good there. I guess I'll have to hit up the donation thread the week before for Snell rated punch bowls.

[TransNone13]

I do my repairs, I'm waiting for parts. Been 1 week so far...

You have to have Snell for HPR? Mine have been, but I didn't know it was a requirement.

[Survivalism]

Well see if im able to make this now, waiting on insurance to do their job so i know if im getting a new bike / etc.

Damn.. hopefully it works out that i make my way out their

That's a major 'less of a pain', at least you do your own repairs and maintenance. I hope everything works in your end.

How often does this happen for Chicane 'Never Ever'? I don't wanna pass up this opportunity, but first I gotta get all the gear from head to toe, network with someone to see if possible my bike can haul up there, insurance involve when riding on track too right? Also, setting up the bike for actual track. Plus my divorce junk. Jesus! Money i'd tell ya! :-(
I wanted to know, when this event gonna happen again? I wanna try track badly one day and do it more often.

Kat, the "never ever" is an option at each Chicane day. Space is limited though, and it tends to sell out pretty quick. It's a great deal and a good intro to the track.

As for gear, sign up and then post up what you need. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of help that is out there.

Snell isn't a hard requirement for the track that I'm aware of, but it needs to be some other solid standard (DOT, British - BS I think, etc). *Do not* use some cheap knockoff helmet to save a few bucks, unless your life isn't worth a few bucks more.

I just got my Never Ever. The website said only one was left. Don't know if that was mine (I had it in my cart but it wasn't purchased) or if it means there's only one left now.

Thanks, I talked to Rybo about it. I've got a DOT rated HJC full face helmet and he said it would be good enough. I just remember reading places where Snell was a requirement for the track. Like I mentioned before, I've got a full suit, racing boots, back protector, etc and I'm a firm believer in ATGATT, the only exceptions I make are jeans vs leathers. I always wear a jacket and gloves, and not just an ACU jacket - a riding jacket.

I think, I'll just do this event next riding season. Its a lot of money to spend, especially with gear. Boy, i wish again I was rich! LOL
One day CHICANE TRACK DAY! One day! :-)
I can be a spectator though right? I'll just watch and tease myself with all the riders doing it. SOB!!!!!

I made excuses for a long time too....... and the more you go watch, the more you want to do it. So be prepared for that. Chances of you finding gear to borrow are good, so it's really not all that expensive. Just sayin.....

No more excuses!

Yes, you effectively squashed the rest of them. Thanks!

[JohnMaguire]

I'm confused on what the 'never ever option' is. I am definitely interested and have never done a track day before. Can someone elaborate on what the rates are?

Its my only good excuse really. Money is mostly kicking my rear, as I am going thru divorce.
I am just gonna watch, observe and cry in my mind. :-(
Story of my phcking life. Sigh...
Idk my size gear and not sure how much to set up the bike either. Its all money Reyven. :-/

[TransNone13]

Bike just needs the mirrors removed, lights tapes and water w/ redline. I would remove the light and horn fuse too. Too e-z.

Depends on the bike. On my CBR600RR, if you pull the headlight fuse the bike won't start, you have to disconnect the pigtail connectors behind the lamp assembly.

[TransNone13]

That's a given, your bike will vary. Don't take me literally. . Unless of course you have a late model 1Krr.

It is very limited and appears to be sold out for this event.

I'm good at squashing stuff...hopes, dreams, etc...

[iPraetorian]

I'd love to go but need someone to trailer with. Suggestions, offers? I'll cover gas round trip...

[rybo]

Just a reminder -

A few more days remain to assure that a portion of your trackday fee goes to support Alyssa Camp.

In addition we've got some great prizes to give away - the earlier you sign up the greater your chances of winning!

Thanks for all the support - see you at the track!

Scott, you might want to splash this up on your Facebook page. I could then link it to other group

[Slo]

I think I will be in for this one..... need to get familiar with HPR before next year haha.

[MilkMan]

I would love to attend this but I have a few questions. Fist concerning my gear. I have berriks moto GP pants with pucks ect, and a full leather padded jacket, but they only zip together at the back. And also, the boots that I have do not have sliders on them. Is this stuff legal to run or are dedicated track boots and full suits the standard? I also plan on picking up a set of full gauntlet gloves in the near future because I know the wrist high ones are not legal. Another side note, my bike is not safety wired at all, is that needed to run on the track? And lastly, what are the rules for lights, mirrors, ect? As in do the mirrors have to be removed or can they, with the lights, just be tapped over for the day? This would be my first track day ever, so any help is greatly appreciated guys! Thanks in advance for the info!
