    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE TRACK DAY / RIDER BRIEFING



    These are a set of instructions that should be followed during the event to avoid unnecessary confusions at the venue. These are NOT rules being imposed on anyone. These are instructions given to the riders for their safety.
    1. Everyone should be wearing a riding jacket with elbow and shoulder protectors. A minimum of denim jackets with elbow sliders worn on them.
    2. Gloves are mandatory for any rider planning to ride on the tracks.
    3. Shoes which cover the ankle must be used. Snickers are not entertained.
    4. Use of a knee and shin slider or a knee guard is recommended.
    5. The visor of the helmet should always be closed when riding on the track.
    6. Everyone should go around the tracks only in the clockwise direction (Even in the pits) to avoid confusion and any mishaps.
    7. If a person is willing to come into the pits, he should sit up raise one of his hands after exiting the final corner. This is to indicate the rider behind of your intentions.
    8. When a rider enters the race track from the pits, he is to look behind (at the entry of c1) and then enter the track after everyone is gone.
    9. Hooliganism will not be entertained at any point of time. Remember we are not going there to race, but to know about track riding.
    10. If you have any experts on your tail (e.g.: Killer, Joel) try to give way and learn their lines by observing them.
    11. Overtaking is to be done in proper racing style to avoid any accidents, i.e. an overtaking maneuver is to be carried out strictly on the racing line to avoid collision. This clearly explains that one can overtake if the rider in front fails to apex a corner.
    12. Borrowing bikes is allowed only on mutual agreement. Under a condition”YOU BREAK IT, YOU FIX IT”.
    13. Photographers can walk around the track with proper footwear. (keep a look out for snakes. I remember having eye contact with one for three consecutive laps at the chicane before the bridge.)
    14. If a rider finds an oil leak anywhere, try to keep a distance from those patches and avoid sudden braking or acceleration when on them. (Mostly you fill find saw dust already spread on it, so it won’t be difficult to spot them).
    15. I would require all the riders to post their contact number and emergency contact details. (Emergency contact details will also include: Home phone number, Parent/Guardian’s name and relation. People can also PM me these details if they want these to be private).
    16. Once the red flag is out at the start line, everyone is to make an orderly entry into the pits.

    * The emergency contact details is mandatory for every rider below the age of 19.

        Ah, well. I can make it on 22nd February for sure. 21st, there might be little hitch, thanks to a possible College Day function. If attendance is compulsory, then it might be impossible. AND of course, bringing my own bike depends on whether or not PBK is fast enough. ELD said he'd give me a lift, and I can bring my riding jacket, and gloves.

        Can we please get to know how many of us own protective gear decent enough to last a track day?

        Swiggy Mayhem!
        We're trying to start an initiative where we're gathering enough photos or videos
        of erratic Swiggy/Zomato/UberEats riders across all cities so we can cast a spotlight
        on this issue and try and sort it out. If you video-record as you ride, or have a
        dash-cam in your car, or can take SAFELY photographs of instances where these riders
        are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
        us on the thread above. Appreciate it!

                  7th & 8th would have been okay with me, but I don't see many Bangaloreans taking part in it. I won't be here on the 21st & the 22nd as I will be going to Delhi to attend my brother in law's marriage.

                  CHEERS,
                  G D
                  PEACE

                          I'm always listening.
                          Before I hit the track, I need to change the wheels on my R15, Tyres, engine oil, oil filter, brake pads (fr and rr) and a complete brush up of everything. Its all gonna cost me a fortune
                          But I'm dying to hit the track man.

                              9400kms is what i saw a day ago on the Odo. The bike is exactly 4 months old today. One of the highest clocked R15s in the shortest time I guess
