    What is the gear requirement for IMI

    I have a buddy that needs to stop being a pussy and come to IMI. What are the gear requirements for the asphalt track? Does he have to have something that zips together or just head to toe street gear?

    Last time I was there, it was gloves, helmet, and boots that go above the ankles.

    I think at least ankle high boots but heard that there are people that ride in jeans out there and with basic gear which of course I wouldn't recommend in case of a wipe out lol

    Dude Nate you have to go to a track day man, I used to be scared too man but it was the best choice I ever made. Just the superstreet race gave me a huge confidence boost and then it got me doing track days as well. DO EEEEEET!

    Jacket, gloves, helmet and a box to put the parts of your bike into after you crash.

    Re: What is the gear requirement for IMI

    For some reason, I though a jacket was required also?

    So you're calling your friend a "Pussy" because he won't go to the track?

    You know that's a term of endearment in this circle. You should hear what I call Grim.

    He knows I'm kidding

    We've been talking about taking him to IMI or HPR for the last year

    We'd just be going to see what it's like to be on a closed course where you can turn the bike

    I won't rush him into that, it can be overwhelming. I DO however want to get him out there for a lapping day. He's already workin on the wife to buy a pair of leathers

    I'm probly ruining their marrage. Nate please view the "alimony" thread before it's too late

    It is one option I have considered for the CBR, but without a truck or a vehicle to tow with it doesn't make sense, so looking for a truck first....then maybe a track bike (I really prefer a dedicated track bike over a street bike)

    I really miss the closeness of 2nd Creek If that were still around I'd probably hang up my street riding days and only do track days. IMI is still a bit far for me because I hate to drive and don't want to risk not towing it in case I do crash

    You even old enough to ever ride 2nd Creek Damir? You have to remember us old guys use to be like you all tearing up streets daily from all our riding. Then I got old and priories changed. I remember I use to rush home from work just so I could do Deer Creek, to Bear Creek, to Morrison nearly everyday before traffic kicked in. Now I rush to the gym
