Baileyrock Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 It looks like you have the idea on how to stay cool as far as clothing goes. Do you have a pop-up canopy so you and the bike can catch some shade? I've seen cheap ones at a grocery for as little as $50 or 100. Don't forget lawn chairs, too. Have the use of a AC'ed trailer and the track has really nice garages for free! I will not be in the sun except when on the bike! Thanks Michael, come on down. Your room is ready! :beer: my perf job! self perf leathers 001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RosscoB Posted July 18, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted July 18, 2006 We I got busy with a punch on my leathers(top) doing a home made perforation job. Spent about an hour on the jacket and if you can't tell used Peg Board as a hole chart. :beer: Fairly large holes and should help flow some air for tomorrows 100 deg. track day. Thanks for all the help and suggestions guy! The perfs look good! You will be amazed how well they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 The perfs look good! You will be amazed how well they work. Thanks for the idea ! :thumbsup: I only did the torso area of the jacket so far, the sleeves have a single short zipper vent. I may add some to the sleeves too and maybe some on the pants. My perforated pants will work with this jacket, but don't have knee pucks. Not that that's a problem, I've never touched a knee except in two crashes! I also now have Under Armor long shorts and long sleeve T-shirt in the compression heat type. I think were sharing the track with a Corvette Club and will get every 3rd session. Should be fun! :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually almost too nice for a track bike: Appreciate the notice on the party. I actually have to teach a class this weekend....
