I went to Eastern creek like 3 weeks after getting my L's , you dont need leathers just decent protection

It was the best thing i did, ive done hundreds since and brought a track bike

Best to check with each individual track for the rules regarding leathers. Many if not most will insist on full leathers before they let you pass scrutineering, but you may find some more lenient places.

For example, PI knocked me back for having an expired licence. Broadford let me on with a suspended licence. Go figure

will most tracks abide by which bike u are allowed to ride on L's, P's and fulls???

From my experience most tracks will not accept Learner's permits as they insist on a probationary licence at the very minimum. However, they won't insist on you sticking to your restrictions.

You don't need a licence to go on the track. Just need to know how to ride.

I used to do ride days at Phillip Island on a fairly regular basis with Australian Superbike School. They run a really good day as they don't pack the track with people and have graded groups. Last time I checked they charged about $190 ish which included lunch and tea, coffee and water through the day.

They are pretty strict and you would need leathers, which they hire out, plus a roadworthy bike.

A ride day is the best thing you can do as you can ride as fast as you want, without worrying about being caught speeding.

you DO need a license to ride on the track. i paid for my Superbike school day and turned up without my licence because it got suspended and i wasnt aloud on the track.

you need full leathers boots annd gloves, cant understand why you wouldnt anyways.

best feeling your goign to get whilst on a bike, the speed the adrenalin, the excitement of going so low on the ground your knee sliders are touching the ground. its awesome highly reccomend superbike school and even just the ride days there.
