    Hello steel knee, Good by track.

    I will not be riding any more track days. After 68 days with Nesba and another 25 +/- with other providers, this is a hard post to type. ( You are thinking, "all that track time, how could he be so slow?"). I have a new knee that is working great. It has put my life back on track and allowed...

    Happy Birthday America

    I want to express my gratitude for being allowed to live in this Country. America might not do everything right, all of the time, but I really believe that She gets more right, more of the time than any other country. I have visited a lot of places and looked at a lot of systems. No place...

    Certificate for free tires

    DJ, The manual says if you do 15 events in one year, you will receive the free tire certificate prior to the start of the next season. I have not gotten mine and suspect other may not have also. Thanks for your help. Ben.

    Cabin or House in the Mountains

    I want to rent a place at altitude, 2000 and up, for some random long wkends this summer to get out of the heat. I live in Charleston and would like to hold the drive to 5 hours. Thinking about the Asheville area. No kids, one spouse and the best black Lab on the planet. Good motorcycle...

    Thanks to all and best wishes for the off season

    Guy, I want to thank the NESBA family for the love, support, friendship and fellowship that you have poured into 2009. It was not the most peaceful of years and I am hoping that 2010 will be a little less intense and a little more laid back. I have been blessed with a look behind the...

    Barber and Beer

    FYI. Barber hates glass. It has to do with their insurance. They find it painful if you are drinking beer from a bottle. Just so you know. A great weekend on tap ( pun intended ). Ben.

    Good routes Charlotte to Williamsburg, Ky

    Anyone have suggestions for route(s) going N from Ashville or Charlotte, then W toward Williamsburg Ky. Not looking for the Deal's Gap type experience, but nice fast sweepers would be great. Minimum slab, though some is tolerable. Thanks, Ben.

    Charleston to NM or Colorado Springs, or Somewhere

    Thinking about a quick trip W, motorcycle of course. 1800+/- one way. Leaving around Oct. 1. Anyone interested for all or part? It would be mostly slabs due to time restraints. Back roads and Mtns once out there. More details available. Ben.

    Severe pain at top of calf/altering position

    As the track day progresses, I experience an increasing pain at the top of each calf, just below the knee. It is not so bad in the first session, but gets worse throughout the day, limiting the amout of time I can ride. I have experimented with a stationary bike and learned that it is...

    The Best Thread Ever

    Back in the old days ( old forum ) some inspired Genius started a thread that introduced the CR's. It included a picture, not always the highlight of the post, and a lot of good information. We put our trust and lives in the hands of these orange shirt Gods and they deliver. I would like...

    Dumb Southerners................?

    How did we get the dumb rep? We are smart enough to live where it's going to be 70 DEGREES today. A play day for the Monster,and our track season starts in Feb! I am not trying to stoke the weather envy, really, that is why I did not post this in the frigid forums. Have a good day fellow...

    What I have been told (by CRs).

    IN no particular order, by: Brian Johnson; "Don't use the CR (in front of you ) as a rolling reference point." and another time, "Get your butt off the bike", and "Finish the turn." John ( from the DC area );" Stay low all of the time. If you are not looking through the windshield, you are...

    Barber and Hard Tires

    Guys, please take it easy for the first 1/2 of the day. The surface of the track is going to be around 40-45 degrees when we go out Sat. Cold tires are hard tires. One lap will not have them up to temp. Even if you are using warmers and go out with them at 165 degrees, most will be at 130 by...

    Maine, say it is not so!

    I saw on the Jennings Board that someone with a similar name was punted off the track but a guy who hit him in the rear (of his bike). A fast get off and major bike damage followed, but the rider is mostly OK. I hope this was not you. I am glad the human damage was not worse. Ben.

    Thanks to Directors and CR's for Barber Weekend

    Thank you guys. Derek too. It was a great weekend. Seamless and as close to perfect as any human endeavor is going to be. You provided a very high quality event for the members and their guest. I know it takes a hugh amount of hard work, even before a wheel turns on the track. Beer is...

    CR Bio's and Member Profiles

    Someone was doing a GREAT job with CR introductions. I know this was a popular thread, at least with me. Inquiring minds want to know. What does it take to revive that thread and get it brought up to date? Hopefully nothing to do with a goat. And, I for one, like to know a little about the...
