Supersf,

A little vignette to illustrate the point:

I was suiting up one morning for a track day when the guy in the next pit came over to introduce himself. His opening line was "You can always tell the guys who have had a crash."

He was right of course, but I asked "What made it obvious?"

"You have all the gear - a suit, helmet, neck restraint, gloves etc."

PS: I'm still a wrist restraint evangelist!

Yup. "Stupid hurts". Many of us have learned that. I actually had a sticker made that says that for all my guy's hardhats. The other one from years ago and still prominent is YFNY..."Your Family Needs You". Get that one and put it on your dash and you just might get to go home at night. Belt and suspenders...;)

Thanks Larry

I should clarify though, I'm not advocating not wearing/using the equipment. If you have it, use it. I have the whole ensemble and do use it but if I'm at the track playing around with friends, I usually don't. (though I probably should)
Just felt I should through that in there.

Thanks for all the responses guys. This is all good to hear. I worried that the thing I might miss the most from moto racing (and track days) is the camaraderie that led to genuine concern with each other's safety and well-being. Countless times we'd counsel newer racers on equipment, wrench on each other's bikes to make sure everything was safe, and help with body position and race lines. The spirit of community always trumped the need for an edge over the competition. Looks like I won't be missing that at all...

Ordered a bunch of stuff from the good folks at Wine Country Motorsports. Very helpful guys in the shop, lucky to have them as a local shop. Hoping to be able to squeeze into the HOD session on the 29th @ Sonoma.
