If one wanted to do a track day, would NESBA be the best thing to sign up for? or should i save my money and just find a motorcycle track day? I want to do one in June and NESBA seems like the best group to join. I dont plan on doing a lot of them just a few this summer.
okay, i got in contact with some people, there is a track that at NJMP thundebrolt raceway on july 6th its $150 for a beginners and hosted by absolute, they have coach on hand too.
Absolute runs a great trackday! [thumbsup]

+1 but a heads up that day is the Lightning track not Thunderbolt.
thanks for the clearence, i always mix the two up, one is suppose to be a bit more technical, the other more open turns and fast straights. anyone wanna come with? :P

I wanted to make that one, it might even be $125 if they fill it up. I got an e-mail about it. I think I`m going to go on the 26th to thunderbolt also with absolute. I did Lightning for my first time and it was the best moto experience I ever had.
I'm waiting to figure out my transport situation then going to organize to go to some track days. Hopefully should be sorted this week or next.
That price looks real good. Damn, I need to buy a suit. :-\

Less than $500 can get you a suit. Just check out closeouts online and find 2 pieces that zip together. Or you can order a custom suit from spartan leathers for about $500
whats your size?
i picked up a kobe misano in 38 red for $250. great suit, but the leather is really thick (i think its 1.8 or 2mm vs normal 1.3ish) and it takes a while to break it in.

I think Absolute has free suit rentals for beginner riders. Just bring boots. So guy there last time was riding in Timbs with the rental suit. I don`t know how that got by but he did it.
I'm a small, i around 38-40 depending on brand.

they only have it in 38 its really thick leather so it takes a bit longer to break it in. i really like it, though im a kind of large around hte shoulders so i wish it was a bit looser.
