    Another vote for James at Squidskins & they hold up pretty well when you crash them.

    disability/death insurance for racing

    I started racing in August 2017 at 54 years old (I just did the 1 round to get a taste of racing), good for you mate, you go for it. I love the competitiveness of racing & even though this year (my first full racing season) ended a little early & not quite as I wanted it to I will be back next...

    Track Riders Who Quit Street

    I used to only ride on the street in the UK, never did track days & then I moved to Canada. When I first moved to Ontario I did a lot of serious cycling (& still do) & decided I wouldn't be riding a motorcycle in Ontario on the public roads based on that experience but also after seeing 1st hand...

    Camping at the track?

    Yep, I camped there for late Sept last year, I had no issues other than it being a bit cold because of the time of year. Washrooms & showers are left open all night but it can get windy so tie the tent down well other than that you'll be fine.

    MotoGP 2018

    I subscribed to Bein (with Bell Fibe) last year to watch the Moto GP - as someone else said they broadcast Moto3, Moto2 & Moto GP, I think it was $16/month but I can also record the races on the Bell PVR for later viewing as well. I'll be doing the same again this year, I dont mind paying...

    Advice for winter work on 2008 R6 - keyswitch elimination harness / 520 conversion

    So would this apply to a 2006 GSXR1000 as well i.e. having to re-flash the ECU to turn off the immobliser feature? If so do you know anyone who does that as my Woodcraft key eliminator was delivered yesterday.

    2018 Track Days

    Think it was at least mid March last year before Cayuga had 2017 dates up for motorcycle lapping, not sure why it takes them so long. They had also cut back on the amount of motorcycle lapping days for 2017, shame really as I like it down there.

    Ordered my key switch eliminator for the GSXR from Bluestreak - free shipping. Haven't received it yet but install doesn't look that hard, aiming to do it over the Xmas break so I'll let you know how it goes.

    Toy hauler, travel trailer or tent

    Thanks for all the feedback guys, appreciated. I'm going to look at a nice (hopefully) KZ toy hauler next Saturday, it's an older one but has everything I want and more importantly everything my lovely wife said it must have. Will let you know how I make out.
