    Hi from New Bedford

    Hi everyone. It seems a lot of motorcycle forums are full of nonsense. But, lurking over here on NESR makes me think this one is different. So I figured I would introduce myself.

    I have been riding for 6 years rain, cold, or shine. Most recently I got rid of my 07 DRZ 400 SM to get an 07 Yamaha R6. It's mildly modded w/ a slip on, levers and sliders. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but I'm falling in love with it. It's my first "supersport" but I feel very comfortable on it. But, there is no where to come close to trying it's limits on the street around here. With my Sumo I could get into a gated dump access road and really goof off with the bike. But, there no where to really get illegal safely (oxymoron?) with the R6.

    So now more than ever I want to hit the track. I'd still say I'm a very novice rider having no 2 wheeled track experience but, I'd love to find out more about it and start beating up my new toy.

    Re: Hi from New Bedford

    I did go to that sight. It seems like that tonys would be the best bet. I'm slightly reluctant because I don't have a trailer or truck to get get the bike there. So, it would be a long ride home. I'm looking to pick up a small trailer that I can tow with my car now though.

    Ride share is a great option too. I am close by and usually can fit another bike.
