First of all, I'm surprised "Mike" wasn't already taken on here. Second, hi everyone! I haven't had a chance yet to get out for a first track day sadly. I'm working on finding a used suit in my size. Other than the suit, I'm ready to stay up the night before being excited for a track day. This has gotten expensive quick but thankfully I have no wife to tell me no. I'm from Greensboro, NC and I'll be going to the VIR track days.

Thank you. And no worries, the other rotor is on already. Luckily the guy I got the bike from still had the extra rotor, caliper, hose, and bolts. That picture was shortly after I got the bike back in October/November.

Thanks! Yeah I was assuming that will be the dilemma. I don't regret spending the money yet. It's something I've wanted to do for a really long time so if I don't get out to the track, I'll regret not spending the money and time.

Welcome! I am in Mebane. What size suit do you wear? Again, if you need anything just shout. We are always eager to help get someone on the track.

I have an old Joe Rocket suite that is a 46. I would be willing to loan it out if you need it to get on the track. I would consider selling it, it would be cheap if you wanted it. I have a back protector that has been hanging around the garage for a few years that I would do the same with, loan or sell. I'm not available this weekend but I wll be around next week/weekend.

That would be awesome! I am trying to make VIR in August. So there's some time still to meet up with you. I will be interested in buying both the suit and back protector too.
