Hi new member here. I  rode sportbikes back in the mid  90's and decided to get back into it here last fall. My name is Aaron my wife Erin and I came out for the last track day of the year to say hello last fall. My question is if my gear is ok for track days.  I would like to use 2 piece 360* zip leathers, boots,  helmet, and gauntlet gloves. Is there any thing I need for the bike other than to put my track fairings on and wire tie the oil drain plug? I also plan on getting some lessons from the "resident bad ass" as the first time I meet Steve was after he came rolling in after demonstrating a 65mph low side. Im look forward to getting together with you guys and gals for some of the weekly rides and Meets as you all were really nice out at RFR last fall. Hey Wild Racing we need to get out for a ride, maybe see you at Fallon Top Gun Raceway this Sat for the season opener Ill be running my truck.  
Chicken strips so big KFC is after my recipe.

You can ride it naked or with street plastic. Swapping coolant for water wetter is optional for most track day providers, as is the safety wire. You can borrow painters tape to cover your tail light.  (no brake light visible to the riders in back)
See you out there!

So if you run your truck in the dirt next to the asphalt, is it smother.  The track is not that bad.
