First track day advice?

[BillyJ]

Hi guys,
I've been really tempted to do a track day recently and was thinking about doing my first one on my Bandit 600.

If I enjoy it enough I would use the Ducati 900ss I've been working on for a few months and put some money into making it slightly more race spec

Questions are:
Do I need a one piece leather suit (I'm off to motorcycle live at the end of November so could pick one up then?)

Do I need special insurance?

Will going there invalidate my current insurance?

Is this a bad idea?

Thanks in advance

You need a one piece leather suit or a two piece that zips together all around.

You don't need special insurance but can get track day insurance if you feel you want it.

If you crash you can not legally make a claim on your normal everyday insurance.

Just have fun It's not a race just ride at your own pace. Bring a pressure reader for your tyres as you will need to let some air out as they will get hot.

Might be handy to bring a few tools and spare clutch/brake levers.

Again just have fun.

Awesome, thanks for that.

And just don't ever mention it to my insurance company? What are the story's about people from the company coming to track days to check out peoples plates?

Just take your number plate off. Problem solved

Just go at your own speed, look towards the end of the corners, if you come to fast into a corner don't look at the gravel trap of grass as you will end up in it just look around the corner.
