My wife got me a track day and now I need to get ready. I was going to do the following:

BIKE:
1. New Tires - Do I get race or street tires? (I need tires anyway) Guy in the shop said plenty of folks in town ride race tires no worries. However, I thought these had to be at temperature to perform. Anyone have a set of wheels for a CBR600 F3 they want to sell?

2. Safety wire filters, nuts, etc.

3. Change coolant to water wetter or something similar.

4. Tune up my bike.

5. Stainless brake lines.

6. Tape / remove lights, mirrors, etc.

7. Frame / swing arm sliders.

ME:
1. Leathers. Local shops seem to be lacking when it comes to selection. Have people had problems sizing leathers? The companies all seem to have their own take on what a person should look like.

2. Back protector. How much room should I leave in the chest of the leathers when sizing for this? (i.e. if my riding jacket is a 42 should I buy 44 or 46 leathers to fit a back protector?)

3. Boots. Figure it is time to upgrade the work boots...

4. Already have a helmet and gloves.


Anything I am missing??

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Some is dictated (i.e. cannot run anti-freeze, tires have to be 75% or better tread, glass must be taped or removed, etc).

Other stuff are things I want to do to have more fun (i.e. brake lines - I have been getting brake fade on spirited street rides lately and don't want to be worried about my brakes on a track day). Also, this is a great excuse to get bike parts past the wife... :bike:

How tough is the "tech inspection"? Can you just wear a wig on Tuesdays or would it require shaving and stuffing your shirt too? :shock:
