Pull on your racing motorbike gloves. The best way to learn about racing is to visit the pit area of a racetrack and talk with the racers. Most will be happy to offer advice.
If you’re reading this then you’re already thinking about it.
Sometimes buying a bike built for racing is cheaper than preparing your own bike. You can find race bikes for sale in the pit areas. Look for the well-worn racing motorbike gloves!
Go to a high performance riding school and see if you are still interested. If you’re not, then at the very least, you’ll improve your riding ability.
One thing is certain…if you race, you will crash. Never scrimp on the protective gear. Get good motorcycle gloves and helmet.
A bike that looks like it has been cared for well will pass scrutineering much easier than a bike that looks like it’s been thrown together. All bodywork must be firmly attached…yours as well as your bikes.
Most club racers use tire warmers. Get a set with a thermostat so you don’t burn the tire. You wouldn’t put on a pair of hot motorbike gloves, would you? Warmers take about 30 minutes to warm the tire. Just like motorbike gloves, they are most comfortable after the first lap!
One more thing…it’ll probably cost you more than you originally planned. Depends on how many times you crash!! Therefore, concentrate on becoming that good rider you always wanted to be and your motorbike gloves will always look forward to being screwed open coming into the straight.
