fm58 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hello to all, I am attending Sep. 3rd at Thunderbolt in New Jersey and using my Ducati Diavel. I am clear on the tire tread requirement but want to hear from anyone who has done this. I guess I will have to bring tape for the lights and tools to remove the mirrors. Any advice on how to do this or issues I should look out for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugget Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi fm58, as long as you meet all the bike requirements as listed by the School, I think you will be fine. But if you want to be completely sure I would phone or email your local CSS branch to get clarification on any specific queries. I know when I did the school we didn't need to remove mirrors (just folded them in or tape over them so you can't look in them) or tape up lights etc., but I think some tracks have different requirements (and CSS must abide by them). All the best - hope you have a great day on 3rd September! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khp Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Just bring the bike as CSS has asked for; they will handle the rest. I opted to take off my mirrors, otherwise the staff will tape these over (to stop you from using them). They tape the speedo too. As far as I can remember, that's the only thing I had to do on my street bike. Enjoy the day! Kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSJDS Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Are you riding the bike to the track, or will you be transporting it there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mblaster Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I took off the front turn signals, removed the headight fuse, taped the headlight ,tail light , speedo, and rear turnsignals. Good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm58 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks for all of the replies, this is very helpful. BL, I am riding the bike to track, I forgot to mention that. Good point. I see you are in OC, NY. I am there most weekends. Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSJDS Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yup - I live in Monroe and used to street ride quite a bit around here and out towards PA. The last few years, the only riding I've done has been on the track, though. Enjoy CSS at Thunderbolt - it's awesome . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
