Re: Beaverun 2008

Safety gear is something to ask over at the thread.

I know some supermotard racers that run with modified MX safety gear. My kids don't wear full leathers..... are they exposed to extra danger? Yes........ But how can racing be safe?

Some Mini clubs enforce full leathers etc....

OYL does not.

Check out the thread and start probbing.

So anyhow I would guess that if you have full MX gear to include back proctection, knee protection, elbow protection, full boots, guantlet road race gloves etc... you'd be good. Thats just about the minimum amount of gear to wear under a quality pair of pants and jacket. You can get some decent sport tour gear..... for fairly small dollars if you shop the sales that are going n right now.

Since thumpstar has bikes in spec classes now in Semra and OSB maybe they would help with the same at Beaverun?
