guys i have this friend of mine who is very enthusiastic about joining us for the trackday ... unfortunately, he does not have a riding jacket and knee guards ... i asked him to buy it straightaway, citing the safety factor in all his touring, but he won't be able to invest in it for until a month and a half. does anyone here know any place that riding gear can be rented from, preferrably in bangalore itself ?? or does anyone have a spare that they may lend him at the track ... he's looking for a riding jacket most of all ... knee guards he's looking to see if he can manage finances to buy them ...

To all the first timers, take it easy ( I'm not being pessimistic here). Meet up with experts and take some pointers.

Take an hour's time getting accustomed to the way your bike feels and responds while making those fast corners. Remember dont get carried away (A mistake I made and paid dearly, I had to ride back in my wrecked R15 from track to bangy, when I say wrecked I mean it). Give yourself and your bike 10mins of rest in b/w and often. Pit lane is where most of the drama happens, there are earmarked entry and exit points into and out of the track, be careful and aways wear protective gear.

Things to do: Check tire pressures, check for optimum quantity of fuel, use tape to mask lights/indicators, remove the mirrors if you can.

Have a good one guys. Happy rippin'
