Hey everybody. After looking at a few organizations, I think I'll be signing with NESBA and looking to do Nelson and Beaver. I have a brother living in Meadeville and he's like 60-65 miles from either track so I could drive from there the same morning. Maybe two times each?? We'll see. I'm 40yrs. old and have been riding dirt and sportbikes off and on since I was 12, so I have a little experience. Just not on the track. Lost the front on my 636 back in 05 on the street. Got beat up but had all the gear on. Anyway, I don't feel safe going hard on the street anymore so I want to try this out. Right now I'm riding an 03 SV650S I couldnn't pass up. Looks like reading the forums everybody is very willing to help anybody and that really looks cool. So, we'll probably be seeing each other ay? I'll be in touch.

Hey there. Where from Central PA. (nevermind, I just saw Philipsburg) A bunch of us are in the Lancaster/Harrisburg area. BaveRun is a great track. Also Summit Point is a great track and close to Central PA. JC is perfect for the SV. Also New Jersey is close and both tracks there are just plain awesome.

NESBA is a great organization and you'll have a blast with the SV on the track. The people in this club are always willing to lend a hand and offer advice and pointers to help you progress. If you're like me, I thought that I rode hard on the street. That is until my first track day when I was "flying" and some Bozo in an orange shirt passed me hung off his bike draggin a knee all the while turned around 180 deg with his thumb in the air (at least i think it was his thumb). At that point I realized that I had much to learn. I soon realized that I had no business riding on the street like I was. I've never looked back.

Welcome to the addiction!

hahaha, so true. I came to the track thinking "i'm pretty close to dragging a knee on the street." right... I was a disaster.

Nelson and Beave are also the two closest tracks for me, so I'll probably see you there :)

I'm already booked for 5/2 and 3 at Beave, and it will take an act of god (or work) to keep me off Nelson in June.

Welcome.

Welcome...another one of the SCPMC (www.scpmc.net) guys here. I'm sure we'll see you at the track as most of us on that site have now become track whores. We'll all be at Beaver 5/2 and 5/3.

hey guys im new here too. bought a gsxr1000 and needed a subframe so i posted on here and waaalaaaa one of you guys had one for me. what a great site. anyway im from homer city, pa which is a little nothing town by Indiana Univ of Pa. can any of you guys point me in the right direction at how to start getting on the right track to maybe getting in some track time? i read your posts and im curious as to how much more i can learn on a track. im guessing you have to start by taking classes? i dont expect a huge message posted about everything in detail but a link or so would be great. ill be looking around beavers site but i thought id ask you guys too.

I was in exactly the same place you are at this time last year.

PM me if you want any detailed answers :)

Classes aren't required with NESBA (some other orgs will require them). Your best bet is just to sign up for "B" and make sure a CR knows it's your first time on the track. The faster YOU get up to speed, the faster everyone else feels safe around you. win-win.

intro group is FREE, so be sure to check that out if you have any doubts whatsoever.
