hi, id reeeeealy like to do a track day. but i have some problems. first off i have no idea what i need to take, dress wise. are there cripplingly large numbers of regualtions, because i hear that even if it rains you wont be let out? i remember i got a telling off for not holding the handrail at my work! so i know crazy regulations are around in businesses.
also i would like to rent a bike,as mine is pathetic, learner legal infact Embarassed aww,and i get blasted out the way on the road Rolling Eyes can i do that as im 18 and so i have to pay for other peoples mistakes in ma insurance for large bikes, hence me not owning one! can i rent a motorcycle for race use tho?i have a few points as well.
thanks ,uni is boring and i would love to be out on some wheels on the track, just need to find how Mr. Green

Leathers - one piece or two piece that zip together all the way round.

Helmet should allegedly have a gold ACU sticker, but I've never seen anyone checked.

Plenty places hire track bikes - hit google.

Yes, they let you out in the rain. Occasionally if it's really bad the day will be cancelled but usually they leave you to it.

Trackdays really aren't all that strict. Smile

What Bendy said, but I'd leave the dress behind personally.

I was fine on at Brands Hatch last week, my jacket is only 3/4 length zip and they didn't bat an eye at that.

Can textiles be worn at a track day, i.e my textile jacket and leather trousers?
