First track day

  1. Hi guys my mrs has booked me a track day for my 30th will be my first, I have the ducati agv stealth sv-4 helmet it does not have a gold star sticker on and the guy said if it don't have the gold star then they will not let me do it? So what helmets have the gold star? That's not gonna cost the earth?
     
  2. You should be ok? Or buy an ACU sticker from ebay for £1
     
  3. Cheers will have a look
     
  4. Failing that you could speak to your nearest friendly helmet retailer.
     
  5. I have never seen them checking helmets. I dont think my Arai has a gold sticker.
     
  6. Never had my bike checked for anything other than noise, let alone my helmet.
     
  7. I can remember when i fell off on track, the medics saying, if my helpmet was damaged they would remove part of the gold stcker.. weird?
     
  8. Which track? You could always call them in advance and ask.

    My Schuberth C3 doesn't have a gold sticker but both Mallory and Cadwell didn't have any problem with it.
     
  9. I've had various helmets that come without the sticker and have never had any problem. You'll be fine.
     
  10. Never had my helmet examined either :Wacky:

  11. they won't check the helmet for a trackday. The Gold sticker is only checked for racing...
     
  12. Not even after that nasty rash

  13. Going to Snetterton and the guy on the phone told my mrs if I don't have the sticker then they will not let me do it.
     
  14. Which track day organiser?
     
  15. The guy on the phone is being a pedantic tit. You'll be fine... As long as its not one of those German WWII helmets that Hells Angels wear.
     
  16. The bloke on the phone was probably the bloke who does the noise testing at Snetterton who forgive my French is a complete twatjibsworthfucktwatbastardknobterdwanker.

    That is if he hasn't been put in hospital to have his teeth removed from his anus after someone punched them down his throat.

    There are few people that their attitude grates with me as much as his.

  17. But now you've brought it to his attention that you haven't got one someone will probably be checking ;)

    The stickers are easy to get hold of and cheap. Can you buy one in time?
     
  18. Hey yer I have time but the only sticker I can find on flebay is £20 it's a sticker lol or am I being a cheap ass?
     
  19. A total load of bollocks for a trackday. An ACU approved helmet is not needed. Whoever told you it was required is full of shit. The lid you have is fine, go play and enjoy.

  20. As above. Don't worry about it. I've never had a sticker checked for. By the way I have the same helmet as you. Hope you have ear plugs mine whistles like a bastard.
