Brian's developed a practical, slightly exasperated majority of TRO's track day packing checklist. Spare tools, wheel bearings and a leaf blower to cool your junk ... he runs logistics like a paranoid scoutmaster. Beforehand, however, tires need cookin' and brake pads need changin'.

Robin plays rider-in-chief, having covered two-up jaunts and a tire-frying solo session. His voice for hands-on prep points to side stand velcro, taped lights and individual tire pressure baselines for circuit riding. Leathers first, then boots before we mark sight lines, braking points and turn-ins!

Joanne won't haul a tire changer but she will carry tools that match her vehicle. Beyond that, everything is fit and function: seamless technical base layers in onesie or two-piece form. Moreover, real track boots and gloves are worth the cost.

Jordan detours into motorcycle history, picking back up on the Scott Motorcycle Company. From Isle of Man wins to an odd three-wheeler, we learn they led with two-stroke ideas long before others. Wartime pauses, both Squirrel models, unit-construction engines, early water-cooled triples and silk-era revivals, Scott machines were a cult following in the making.
