If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

So what's the word on a DIMBY trackday at NHIS?

No.  I don't recall which one he doesn't like, but it's not Fishtail;

Nope...

you got that one dead wrong.

Fishtail is the bomb.

I might have said Tony's or Penguin.

Tony's are crash fests...

Penguin is the race school for NHMS.

You might like Penguin.

My take on track days is it's not race practice...which doesn't mean you can't go fast...

It's just supposed to be fun.

Fishtail days are educational...they have something, and an instructor, for every riding level.

Well worth it.

If you guys are interested we should schedule DIMBY for a weekday so that we can get a group rate with them.

I'd drive up again for a track day but only if you all promise to not take any pictures of me being lapped by that damn triumph as I ride my fast bike very slowly around the track.

The real question is...

will you drive up again if there is no track day.... ;D
