    TCX R-S2 Evo Boots - how good?

    Does anyone have any experience with these boots, quality, safety, how do they fit small or big (I currently wear Icon Overlord, size 12/47)? Currently on sale at Sportbike Track Gear & I need new boots. I was going to wait for the Supershow in January as I'm also in the market for a new helmet...

    Which brake pads do you use?

    Thanks everyone. Took the pads out last night and they were worse than I thougt so I ended up putting a set of EBC HH in as that was all they had in stock at my local store and needed some for Friday. Used HH on my ZX7 and liked them so I'm cool with that.

    Which brake pads do you use?

    I know this is probably as contentious as tire choice questions but my front brake pads on the GSX-R1000 track/race bike are on their last legs & will need replacing very soon (this weekend maybe) There's lots of makes out there: Vesrah, EBC, SBS, OEM but which pads do you use & why? Bike...

    Help me get started

    This. I ignored this advice a couple of years ago when I started, bought a nice cheap ZX7 & then ended up putting in over $2500-$3000 for rear shock, front forks stripping & re-building, tires, track bodywork, better brakes etc etc, you get the picture. I could have bought a "ready to go" track...

    Fairing kits

    Had Squidskins on the ZX7, was easy to fit & stood up to 2 low sides pretty well. Have Hotbodies on the GSXR1000, seems like good quality, don't intend crash testing it though.

    Fibre Glass Fairing Repair

    Did my ZX7 fairings twice after crashing. Fiberglass matting & resin on the back. Bondo on the front of the repair sanded to shape, nice & smooth, re-apply if needed to finish it off/get the correct shape then finish off any minor imperfections with a putty style filler. Wet sand everything...

    Cayuga Aug 26th or GBM Aug 29th

    I'd actually though about the Friday at GBM as well, I've done a couple of those in 2015 & they were fun. I quickly got used to faster guys & gals passing me on the inside, the outside, anywhere they could ha ha but was never intimidated by it & found it an enjoyable day where I actually learnt...

    Group of Motorcyclists wanted...

    Completely agree with you, as-holes, every single one of them. And if a transport truck didn't realise they were stopped & ploughed into the back of them? or if an ambulance with someones child/spouse in need of lifesaving attention wanted to get by & because of them that child or person died...

    Track bike insurance

    On my application I submitted I gave them the VIN of the bike and trailer but no ownerships or bill of sale. They also wanted make, model and year of the bike. Everything else I grouped i.e. Riding gear, hand tools, spare parts, power tools and gave the group a value. They do require photographs...

    Track bike insurance

    I got a quote back from DT for the off track & storage policy. It does cover storage at home & also during transit to & from the track. I added the $$ value of everything I wanted to cover in the policy i.e. the bike, spare parts, trailer, riding gear, tools, generator, stands etc which came to...
