you don't have any glass so no.
and probably need new tires depending on the event.

if it's just an open track day than probably not, but you'll need new ones when you're done

Re: Cycle whore thread

Would it be illogical to drive ~1 hour to Summit Point, race, then drive back on the same bike? With different tires, of course...

it might be risky considering that you'll be stranded if you wreck, or someone takes you out.

Well I've got the projection headlights so I was just wondering about those TBH. And I mean I just want to take a nice VERY easy stroll around the track for around 30 minutes. I don't WANT to get comfortable...that is when bad things happen.

Re: Cycle whore thread

So... I really want to buy stickers (or clear tape) in the shape of my favorite tread pattern and put it on a matte black helmet.

The clear tape will make the matte part of the helmet shiny and darker thereby making it appear to be recessed. As a result my helmet will look like a tire.

Anyone have a cnc cutter I can throw a vector at?
