    Quick question, what kind of tape should I use for the headlights etc. painters tape or duct tape? Also how many miles do you usually put on ( trying to figure out how much gas to bring) Thanks for your input.

    Use the blue painters tape, comes off easy. Pull the fuse for the headlight or pull the bulb out. Keeps things from melting. Bring an extra 5 gallons of gas just in case.

    or if you're really anal, you can use colored duct tape, to match your fairing. looks better than the painter's tape, IMHO. but it does leave a little residue behind that you's have to wipe off with Goof-Off, but no biggie.

    5 gallon jug of gas should do you good unless you are at Road America. Then you might want to bring a wee bit more. Another alternative to tape is some Avery vinyl. I have a place where I get scrap and I'm using that until the race skins come in.

    and they mean bring 5 gallons in addition to your full tank on your bike.



    a typical day has 5-7 sessions of 20 minutes each. figure average speed of around 60mph...you get between 100-200 miles per day.



    i always bring a full tank on the bike...and then one 5 gal container per day.
