I now forget who gave me the tip but I am all signed up for the NESBA Yamaha Demo day at VIR on 07/05-07/06/08 and I have an 08 R1 reserved for me on 07/05. This is going to fucking rock. There's a few of us heading down. Anyone here going? I hear VIR is an awesome track.

Curious- the Nesba site doesn't say anything about it.
Schedule: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/ra...esba_demo.aspx 353 miles for me to get there... ouch.

Before I signed up I just emailed info@nesba.com to check if they had demos available on those days and they emailed me right back to say yes. I think this is more of a Yamaha dealer program where like someone interested in a new Yamaha the dealer can send them to the track to try one out or incentive (1 year free membership with nesba and 1 free track day) for someone to buy.. Doesn't appear they are actively advertising it..

VIR is a haul for me...something like 6 hours. So needless to say...I won't be making it.

I wish it was only 6 hours for me.. 11 hours from the D:
665 mi – about 11 hours 1 min We have a 4 man driving team though, an ambulance with a license plate that says offduty, a trailer and some mad fucking karate skillz.. so marko pack that shit up and get to VIR.. if it was only 6 hours i would skip the bullshit and ride there..

I am totally considering if this is at all possible for me after taking the first two weeks off in June... unlikely, but I could potentially swing it.
So what's the deal here? Price? etc?

$160 for first day 15% off for second and third day so $140 next 2 days. I am doing Saturday and Sunday so its like $300 for me total for 2 days. Saturday I am riding a 2008 Yamaha R1 for one session - part of the Yamaha demo day. You can pick from like a 6 bike line up - R1, R6, FZ6, etc. They still have bikes available to demo.
Shit I was going to check out VIR anyways and I wanted to do different tracks this year so this is perfect.

VIR is a great track. Had a great time despite a severe sinus infection that plagued me all weekend and now finally am getting over. I have some pics and soon will have some video to post up.
