Thanks for the post P,
I had 25 years exp. before my first track day. I was 40yrs old when a friend invited me to come along. Had to buy my first 2 piece leather suit. What I noticed was how comfortable a good set of leather pants where and how much easier it was to grab the tank (padded knees) with leathers. Much easier to take the weight off your arms and wrist. Anyone who has owned a SS knows its a matter of survival. I learned more in 5 sessions than in my previous years of riding.
After reading P's post the above was the first thing that came to mind. How easy it is to change your riding style with the proper equipment. Not to mention how much more comfortable, with no seams like jeans and extra padding.
