Well, are we talking tack or are we talking protective leather on a glove that is maybe at best a fraction of the thickness of tack? Tack is different, strap leather is traditionally thicker and a lot of the tack products have dye in them to help the patina of the leather. If we are talking...

I would say yes,, but keep the old in case you ride in the rain.

And while we are on it,[rant] do we really think the cables and shields and buckles and knobs and all that crap really work. FACT, I have spent numerous hours trackside trying to figure how to get a glove so a rider can get it back on their hand. Wishing I had my old ski boots for parts. It...

Thanks MEME!

Yes we have shrunk gloves,, fingers mostly at the tips. But if you get them wet,, warm water,, put them in the sun for a bit they will shrink. The only problem is the synthetics inside today they will not shrink as leather will.. If they get too tight do the reverse,, wet them and wear them they...

Well I have guys bringing me gloves anywhere from 2 to 20 years old to repair. In many cases they are shot and the rider has hand damage. Now new gloves can fail as well as old. But consider this,, the best feel and fit is from thinner leather. 25 years ago gloves were like a welding glove. So...

It has nothing to do with cheap gloves,, Actually ,more expensive gloves can be worse as they use more synthetics in the glove to reinforce thin leather which will or will not dry out. Vinegar is soaking into the leather and will take days/months to come back out.Leather is a sponge. Never put...

Scrubs are a very economical way to save some money at first. But ,, buy them from a known source. My advice is buy them before they are scrubs. So find a pro racer or a top amatuer. pay for them and get them direct from the rider. Hand me downs ,,well they can be suspect as people advised. A...

Would probably try Pilot,,never see any Gimoto suits,,last I heard they were pretty pricey

You can dump and fill with water at Darlington Provincial Park for the cost of a day pass. There is also a municipal dump a bit south of the Darlington park entrance but it closes at 3pm. Rumour has it a Flying J will be going in where the fifth Wheel was at Waverly road,,but that will be a...

The more I get into these "New" generation tires the more and more warmers only make sense. With out warmers is kind of like going half way. Ya, I know it costs money,and ya I know I sell warmers,,, but logic only makes sense. Doesn't matter what tire you use,,sure treaded does flex more and...

FAST moves the suits after so many years. They are a $250 suit. They are used and well looked after. The FAST school is probably the best at fixing and looking after their product. So it would be a great suit for $250. If you need a used suit support the people that have supported this sport...

You allways change your kill switch to the left so buddy can't hit the kill switch as you go into the corner. Keep it on the right,,,too easy! Not kidding either!

Calabogie had under 400 spectators last year. So which track really has spectatores? Honestly? Mosport,,fact. Cause they promote it! Last year at St.Eustache a lake fell all day on Sunday. So that hurt any attendance. Didn't say it wasn't small. In fact it is very small,,in fact should help any...

Calabogie is a great track but horrible for spectating and nobody cares about that. Calabogie is rented most of the time and they do not wish to increase spectating because it does not fit their current business plan. We can hope that changes Tremblant,,corner one is the most dangerous corner I...

You have to buy a set of tires ,, does not mean you have to use them,,,,,,I also think that rule was a hang over from the 125 era.

Ya but I've been working on my legs,,,,on second thought,,, you're right! Bad idea!

So durable top,eh , I made a top for my canopy that will hold enough water to crush the canopy frame. So make sure your frame can handle the top and the spring in the center pole is strong. If not,, you might need a new frame. Most tops are less then 500 Denier and the good tops are 500 denier...

Factory Fuel Gauge-Go buy a piece of dowel,then empty the tank,,with tank on bike. Add one liter of fuel ,put dowel in lowest part of the tank every time and mark on the dowel.Repeat until tank is full. At track add fuel,, measure on your dowel ,,do laps record the number of laps and measure...
