I fell out of the tree and landed here! Looking around a bit, it seems nice and friendly, just like the rest of the motorcycle world.
I spectated at BUB for a few hours in Sept. 09, and I am going to try to get a bike ready for Bonneville this year.
I do have a couple questions that I have searched for but haven't found a solid answer.
I am interested in ether Speed Week, or BUB. How can I get the most runs per dollar? Like at bub, I see the "run what you brung" is $250 for a T-shirt and 2 timed runs. If I enter a class for $400 (I think) is that per day or the whole meet? If it is per day, how many runs could I expect to run?
The other thing I was wondering is leathers. I have a brand new 1pc Vanson, that I bought for road racing effort that has been cut short due to a severe leg injury. The problem is that it is full perf, and has Kevlar stretch panels on the inside of the arms, legs and crotch. I see that will not pass tech for Speed Week but may for BUB. Can I wear a simple leather jacket and pants over the race leathers? I have $1400 invested in my suit and I would like to get some use out of it.
