    Warm Weather, Great Track - Homestead anyone?? NESR Deal!

    Dec 2: Homestead, FL

    As we have been doing since 1996, we're headed down to Florida in five weeks to Homestead Miami Speedway. I'd like to invite all of you to come down to enjoy the warm weather and a track that has a lot to offer.....and we will put an offer out there to everyone at NESR.

    Homestead is a speedway track, but it doesn't feel like one at all. The layout of the course is such that the walls around the oval are nowhere near the motorcycles on the exits. It has 2 fast sweepers, an increasing radius corner, a decreasing radius corner, a couple switchbacks and two big braking zones. It's a great place to learn all kinds of skills, and the weather in December is nearly perfect. Plus, there is a CCS weekend on the Saturday/Sunday after the school, and the Florida Keys and South Beach are both close by.

    NESR Deal
    If anyone from NESR wants to come down - we'll put this offer out there. Put together 2 riders who want to ride down together from anywhere in the Northeast (must be New England, NY, NJ, PA) and we'll let the second rider have 50% off. All you need to do is call 978-400-8204 and ask Cathy for the NESR Florida Deal. It's a great trip!

    Man oh man do I want to go! Anyone up for a trip? Drop me a PM or email. I have a truck, but no trailer, and don't want to drive for 20hr myself. I may be able to finagle an open trailer, though.

    DOOOO ITTTTT! Homestead is a super fun track, and the complete opposite of Loudon in every way.

    Every year we get requests from guys who want to go to some of our southern events, asking if we know someone who can transport bikes. If you or someone you know is a trustworthy individual who has the ability to haul a number of motorcycles (preferably 6 or more), there may be a money making opportunity out there. A 40' 5th wheel trailer or similar would be perfect.

    Let's put the word out and see what we can drum up. There are some really cool tracks down there, and a motivated individual could help guys get down there, enjoy some nice weather in the off season, and make some money as well. Ideas?

    Not saying this is a definite but I may know someone that might do this.

    Could we get an idea of how many people would be seriously interested?

    I was just thinking about this today... I'd love to go but I don't trust my beat up old ford ranger to make the trip.

    Maybe yours won't but mine will! If you're serious about going, let's get something sorted out.

    I may be able to get the in-law's condo in ft. lauderdale which is about an hour away from homestead if that helps... But yeah, I am serious about going, just need the details of when and how much $$$.

    Hey, if you guys have a trailer and room I'll gladly contribute towards transportation. I have been tearing my hair out looking for a way to make it down for the Dec 2 class. I've also got a 4-door F-150 to drive down if someone has a trailer and needs a ride. In any case, I am serious about getting down there and want to explore options with whoever else wants to go.

    I'm not that much of an asshole, promise to roll the windows down if I fart, and generally am easy to get along with.
