One or 2 piece (zip together) leathers for most, if not all I think.

You don't need track fairings and tyres should last a fair while unless your using specific race tyres, which seeing as your new to trackdays won't be neccesary.

Provided you don't crash (unlikely if you ease yourself into the day gradually), the only extra expense will be your fuel, which won't be more than two tank-fulls.

As mentioned you will need appropriate clothing.

somthing everyone seems to have forgotten to mention is dont forget your licence
and if you take bike in a back of a van or use a trailer dont forget the bike keys (dont leave them in when bike is on a trailer)

just take the basics as it will be the first time on track,
keep it simple and have FUN

Not sure if it's been mentioned or linked to,

but perhaps aquiring a spare brake/clutch/gear lever would be advised, should a minor spil occur, these speares will allow you to carry on should you wish to, along with the gaffa tape and mallet as above.

Also your helmet needs to be Gold stickered ACU approved,

A tyre pressure gauge is not neccasary but you'll need to keep an eye on your tyres, you could scrounge a gauge off someone else on the day.

For a first track day, just turn up on your bike. Take some food and plenty to drink in a back pack and your wallet with licence in and your all set.
Ride to the track sign on, have fun, pootle home.

Bike prep needs to be minimal, if you have a glass light (you prob dont) you should tape it up. removing mirors is also a good sugestion. As for tyre presure there is normally a tyre guy there who will set them for you.

Just go and have fun. You dont need to take a whole lorry full of shit to have fun on a track day.
