First question.
1. Why do want to look like Batman?
2. Why wont you buy a one piece leather race suit?
3. What kind of bike do you ride?
I rode sport bikes up until about a year or so ago and started ASR (Austin Sport Bike Riders) group on Meetup.com. I've seen a lot of people come and go and lost a few good friends along the way. I quit riding due to neck and back issues and getting too many tickets and riding way to fast. I was a corner freak and if I wasnt scraping a peg somewhere I became board thus riding harder and faster.
My friends suggested doing a track day and I did and had a blast doing it but its very expensive with fees, traveling, and gear. I did a track day at Cresson north of Dallas.
I decided to give up my sport bike for my 370Z actually to at least keep a little fun in my life but do miss those group rides heading to the twisted sisters burning those corners up.
Im not sure how long you have been riding but my advice is this.
HID headlight (MUST HAVE!!!)
Bright gear. Yea you look kinda stupid but everyone does see you.
Pretend you are invisible.
Helmet all the time. Every time.
Ride your own ride and dont try to keep up with your buddies. This is where most of the guys go down as they ride beyond their skill level. Use your brains not your nut sack.
Dont stunt.... please... we all will hate you. Even the motorcyclists will.
Leather is your best bet in case you low side. It will save your hide.
Last but not least, when you throw your leg over your ride, put this thought in your head. "I could die today if Im not careful"
Enjoy your ride, wear your gear, and be safe. Keep the rubber side down.
