Shopping list for 2013 track season

I just hope he wheelies himself into the wall. Good riddance.
On second thought if he dies then there's no chance of me getting my money back.

Take out an insurance policy on him, it's just a matter of time.

i'm looking for some chest protection, how is that dainese chest piece? does it stay in place...guy martin kept flashing it in closer to the edge but I figure he could be just peddling it for endorsements.

 

[Mr.Azim]

Forcefield chest protector is great..... can get it at BlueStreakRacing. It's bulkier than the hard plastic pieces, but it's impact technology. very comfortable and flexible.

I love my Knox chest protector. It's a bit thicker then some others but I had the room in my suit, it doesn't move at all after you zip up your leathers. Forcefield would be my next choice, awesome stuff.

Mine works great. Doesn't move around at all.

I have an Oxford protector. It's a bit big for me now that I lost a few pounds, but otherwise I have no complaints. The wraparound works to keep you less tired, too, because your abdominals can push against it and gives you a bit more strength while you're on the bike - or at least, I find that it does, your milage may vary.

Finally picking up some stuff next weekend.

Braketech ductile iron rotors, Ohlins 0.95 springs, new bodywork, chain, oil, filters. That's all.

^ nice, I picked up some PUG from Rider's Choice when I bought my suit.

Still need a canopy and would like to find a good deal on a trailer.

 

[Mr.Azim]

Ken had a group buy for canopies, should have jumped on that one.

Got my enclosed trailer.... simple and cheap 5x8 but it'll do. Now I need something to pull it with, my car should be enough so need to try a hitch set up first.

Uhaul is probably the cheapest way, they will sell it and install it. I got to go do my car as well

If you can spanner a bike you can fit a hitch;

I've driven UHAul trucks. I wouldn't trust them to top up my washer fluid.

It wasn't a priority at the time.
It's the last thing I really need to be prepared for the track this year.

I'm also looking at 5x8 trailers but I prefer to have an open (utility) trailer.
Checking Kijiji everyday lately and all the ones I found are over priced ($600-$800) when the price of a brand new one is just under a $1000 or really beat up ones.

I had the uhaul install the hitch wiring on my car. I pulled everything off at a later time and reinstalled it myself. Don't go to uhaul.

Costco has Caravan 10x10 canopies for $219.

Mina, find a crappy minivan and use it. You have the connections, probably cheaper than a enclosed trailer.

Sell it at the end of the season and repeat next year.

Good idea, I have a Safari that just came in, I might just remove the seats and use that.
Not sure why I never thought of that.
Thanks dude!

 

[Corsara]

I have this shade, got it at 50% off on sale. Already survived a windy camping day, and one track day:
