Well, after studying the schedule and reading the forums, I've sunk $75.00 in a one year NESBA membership, in the hope that it provides weekend riding opportunities that are safe and fun.

I'll let ya know how it shakes out.

Putnam is first on the hit parade, September 9 & 10.


Anybody else coming?

See you there Dave. I will be there for at least 09/09, May do the 10 and then going to Grattan on the 9/11.

I will be dropping off my little boy in Ft. Wayne on Friday and going straight down that evening.

Wish I could but I have a wedding to go to in NY. Which reminds me, I gotta go buy my plane ticket.

edit: Maybe I'll do another drive by like I did at the beginning of this month...

Re: I've become a NESBAstid. First up, Putnam 9/9-10
BTW........ I've done alot of Nesba this year and they are top class. I like them. Went to autobahn for the full track on the 4th of July, it rained most of the days but everyone where so nice. I have NO complaints what so ever..... well, except for the $75 but it's for a year from the date you get it so that's not bad

Please do keep us posted. I'm interested in how their Intermediate group goes, if you aren't allowed to pass control riders, etc. I'm considering trying them next year, or some other group.

If not, sell that damned thing and get a Honda.


Note: I guess I don't really think of myself as a Suzuki rider...

Look on mapping s/w for America's Best and there is other hotels close by and it is minutes from the track. Of course you could stay at Americas Best itself if you want Central Americas best.
