Hi there,
My name is Shawn and I am a new rider having just gotten my class 5 learners in July last year and getting my full class 5 a couple weeks ago, but I am probably on the older side of the rookie group having just turned 48. I ride a 2019 Yamaha MT-07 and am looking to take that bike to the track to learn some new skills and improve what little skills I currently have. I have reached out to Rod and he suggested posting here regarding suits. Ideally I would love to borrow/rent something for a track day and am hoping someone here might have something suitable. I am 5'10" and 155 lbs without anything on, slim build (very little muscle) and quite long arms. I have tried a few leather jackets (Icon Hypersport v2 Prime and Revit Vertex GT) and the arms are several inches too short.
Apart from that I have decent gear...TCX RT-Race boots, Five RFX3 gloves, HJC i10 helmet (I did peel the DOT sticker off the back but it is a Snell 2020 and that label is still inside the helmet).
Shawn

Hi Shawn -- are you on facebook? The MRA has a much more active facebook page where you could enquire about borrowing gear. The FZ07 is a perfect bike to start on for a trackday. I fear there is so little traffic on this forum since FB got up and going in that you might not get a response. If you have any other questions prior to your first time out (in June, now due to covid). Please email me at jksheppard@wcgwave.ca I'm happy to help. James

James Hey James, I sent you an email but maybe it went to your junk folder. I can't seem to find any real activity on Facebook so maybe I am looking in the wrong spot. I see posts only from January 2020 and before. If I go to schedule it has dates for 2018. I have to be doing something wrong. www.facebook.com/Manitoba-Roadracing-Association-282853998532750
