Track bike rules

[YODI]

Hi again guys and girls.

I didn't buy that track bike, it was relisted and again no one bid after a couple of pm's we didnt see eye to eye and that was that.

So I have a Gsxr 600 k1 already, and I've never done a track day, I know i'll be shite but I want to have a go I just need leathers to zip to my jacket.

So, what do you guys suggest about track days for someone who's not ridden in 2 years, but also to add that I want the bike to be road legal so I can use it weekends and maybe to work and back.

Could I do my first couple of track days on road tyres?

Any advice?

depends on the road tyres you've got on.

3 yr old touring tyres might not be a good idea. latest gen of sportsbike tyres will be fine (more than fine to be honest)

You will need, one piece or 2 piece (full zip) leathers, Good gloves/ boots /helmet. Bke in good general condition plenty of life in brake pads and tyres all fluids at the correct levels.

Road tyres will be fine for your fist few days, modern road tyres are good for all but the very fastest folk.

Take it easy to start with and try not to end up 'racing' your mates, someone else who nipped past.

It's great fun but addictive, you have been warned

Thanks guys.

That's what I was hoping about the tyres, saves buying track wheels etc and the hassle of swopping them when I will do the odd day.

I have an alpine stars jack, but its only a rear half zip, if I got trousers is that acceptable?

As for racing my mates, non of them are bikers

zip needs to be full length, half zip just at he back isn't acceptable.
