There are many specialty shops in Sg selling bike gears. It depends on your budget and needs. For track days, the Johor Circuit (PG) and Sepang are not very sticky about using leathers, although that is the best for self preservation.
If you need to do double duty for touring and the occassional track days, your best bet is to get a good Cordura touring jacket and pants. Removalable waterproof lining is good so that you dont drown in your own sweat at the track.
The jacket and pants MUST come with good CE protection at the shoulder, elbows, knees, side of hips and preferable a back protector - altho the last can be easily purchased separately. A shin guard is good too. Also, good FF helmet and gauntlet leather gloves.

Actually, that's what I use when I go on tour and also for the track hehe.
I took a spill in PG and survived with minmal injury cos of all those protection.

To shave cost, try hunting for used items which are often a fraction of the cost.

For new gears try at Motorworld, LAB, JR (Dainese - expensive but good stuff), Chiap Lee or Chong Aik. All stock reputable brands.

Hey thanks for that info! Very useful. Will try motoworld first cos I bought my FF helmet there as well. Just need something that won't make me sweat too much.

Held Touring Jacket

The jacket looks really cool. Want to get something like thaty but this is size M and I am afraid my 1.87 frame cannot sqeeze in. I am in the east tom noon so maybe i call you to drop by and try it on.

As for the bike, your lau chio bu is still in very good shape! I did first servicing yest. I went to racewerks in bukit merah tho. Near my place and they open till 11pm. The main reason is that they have an offer for water wetter. They flushed my coolant from both sides thoroughly. Noticed that as of late the temp kinda goes up pretty fast in traffic. So giving this a try since it is a good deal. Immediatly change oil cos else very troublesome for them to take off both fairing for $20. Also installed my stebel horn so can blast those taxis off the road now also installed volt meter.

Bought a headlight protector from hamster for a good price. Going to change that worn out tankpad soon too. Next servicing I will change battery. Overall very happy. Must try riding without topbox too cos they say handling will be better. Also want to try going track so now looking for gear.

I call you tom re jacket

Hey today I just saw our TP using VFRs as their official patrol bikes!!!

But they using the VFR800P....and the registration that i saw is ROV 27. So not sure the corelation between TP and ROV registered bikes but I am sure they both can book us.

The bike does not have the under seat twin exhaust though. Is a single one sided design like the 4th generation VFR.

The speedo is full digital and dame huge too!! I can see it from a lane away!

All the sirens and lights are dame well put together not like those aftermarket jobs done locally after importing the bike.

The VFR looks much much better than the Yamaha Daverson.

yup it has been on hold for sometime... some of us caught it fitting the crashguards on SK... and also the lights at boon siew. if rumors are correct, there should be 10 or 15 of them. Not under TP. TPs operate differently from ROVs.

The large digital meter is not the dials of the VFR. It is the "clocki your highest speed" device heheh

Geez I would love to see them on the road man.. maybe can say hi to them.. before they say to me!!

i tot of gg 2D1N and staying at PJ.

there is a website for track schedules "http://www.malaysiangp.com.my/". Track day is the day for booking. Think vfrT told me if you have more than 30 bikes or something, they can close the track for you. In short means you might have to register with biketech21 or something.

So on track day, it is 100RM for 3 hours. (0900hrs~1200hrs). It used to be 90RM when i went last year. Guess the price went up.

1. minimum requirements

a) rollerblade pads on the knees

b) touring jackets with armours

c) army boots

d) leather gloves with knuckle guards

e) fulll face helmet

But when you are there, everyone is in leather suits!

2. Dos n Dunts

No particular regulations. But I suppose its track ettiquette to

a) give way to fast bikes.

b) stick out leg to let them know they can pass you

c) stick out leg to inform ppl you are pitting in (coiz the pit entrance is mid-way of a high speed 180deg turn!!)

d) double check the bike is track ready. (brakes/tires/chain sprockets etcetc...)

Other than that, probably make frens with the singaporean bikers... reason is so that you can lump your personal belongings together. If not bring as less as possible. There ain't any lockers for you

You can drop by this link. "http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286266317&code=10746909&mode=invite&cmp=EMC-IS_other&creative=album-invite"

There some pics on the track, and also the Sepang tags, reciepts, pits n so on.

If you have msn, I can send you the "on the track" video that i took from last weeks trip. Try it... its a super nice experience. The scenerio n track is fantastic. For 100RM, you get backup n ppl around the track "in case of fall" .. and its cheaper than PG!

Well if they are using 02 vtec for the patrol bikes, they can really give their WRX a fight in the sports style department.

But I think the Diverson are also not bad.

I was actually following a pair of them for a few streets yesterday,

they actually look for very good as a touring bike.
