Taping over your lights will reduce the distraction that they cause, and minimize the amount of broken glass and plastic on the track if your bike crashes. I'm surprised that she is allowing mirrors to remain. She is allowing them to be turned down out of the way instead of removing. Mirrors are a huge distraction on a closed course. This can be downright dangerous if you spend your time looking in a mirror, or worrying about who is behind you. When I do trackdays, or performance riding courses, I remove everything that I can. The value of those parts is high and breaking them hurts the wallet. If you tape, just use duct tape.
I would never consider riding on the street, track, or anywhere else without full gauntlet gloves. I've crashed enough times to know that if you slide at all, that extra protection is ALWAYS needed.
Can you borrow some from a friend? Or, check around for some used ones? If that is holding you up and you can't come up with a solution, you can borrow some from me, providing that they would fit. Send me a pm if you get stuck. Even if I don't have a pair that would fit, I'm sure that we could find a pair from someone.

The rain was fun. I can honestly say that I've never slid a bike that much in one day...on pavement anyway. It was probably due to the brand spanking new street tires that I had on it combined with water...front end, back end, both ends [moto]
I like what the rain does for people's confidence. A lot of people avoid the rain so when they get on a closed course with rain and work on cornering, they learn how to ride in those conditions. For most people, it's the only chance that you ever get to do that so the experience is very valuable.

I have a couple questions regarding gear. Is a textile jackets with pads acceptable and is it absolutely necessary to have gauntlet style gloves? I would love to come on friday but I only have a textile jacket and shorty gloves.

You can borrow my extra 2-piece leathers and gloves if you want. It should fit you well.

Yes I trailer the bike to the track. It's already prepped with no turn signals/license/mirrors and all lights taped.
You coming?

Do you have extra room on the trailer? That 1198 will pass anything but a gas station.

John, don't worry about gas. I'll have a gas can there. You live in Bloomington? That's not that far to ride. If you still want to trailer, I may be able to help but this week is a bad one for that.

My trailer is only set up for one bike. Like Gabe said, we will have extra gas there so no worries.
You will not run out of gas for this evening session as there is a lot of class/downtime.

I won't make it to this one either. I have too much maintenance to do on the bike and not enough time between now and then to do it. I'll get to one of these this summer.
Thanks Ulf and Gabe for the offers to borrow gear.

Don't worry, there's plenty more.
Ulf, actually there will be even more tracktime this Friday. We are doing thirty minute sessions back to back! So you will get more time in. There is a low number of students to instructors for this so it should be fun!

Will the track be open 4-5?
