Does the track rent out track gear for track days? i really want to track my bike but right now cannot afford a grand for track suit, boots and gauntlet gloves. Thanx in advance.

 

kneedraggers.com rents suits

i doubt the track rents out stuff... the host might but i doubt that too.

 

thanx for the info! but do you think it is worth it to rent it? or is it best to save up for one

 

If you do a track-school, they sometimes rent out leathers (California Superbike School does).

A tracksuit + gloves + boots doesn't have to cost $1000. You can buy from New Enough's closeout section to lower the cost.

 

i did a search on the website, couldnt find a rental category

 

what are the gear requirments for tracks? i have a leather jacket, leather gloves and boots, but it is just for street riding. are textiles allowed on the tracks?

 

wow thanks marm! there are some good suits on new enough close out for good prices

 

Most track organizers will require at least leathers. Some track schools may allow textile suits that zip together (such as Aerostich suits). All will require gloves, boots, and a helmet in good condition.

Think of this gear as a one-time investment purchase. Once it's done, you don't really need to keep buying it over and over.

Before you sign up with an organizer or school, be sure to check out their requirements for bike and rider. They will usually want new or near-new tires, water wetter instead of coolant / engine ice, and taped mirror/headlights.

 

so much money i dont know how students afford it

 

i wanna go without my bike first, just to check out the track scene and learn my way around

 

Easy. Get a part-time job.

Even if you go just to spectate, you may have to pay a gate fee (typically $10) to get in.
