hey guys,
I am a forty year old vet c rider and Sales manager of Power Yamaha Motorsports in Sublimity, Oregon. I really want to come to Florida and ride the Dayton Amateur Supercross and do the Ricky Carmichael School but it costs too much to ship my bike round trip . I currently ride a 09 and 2010 YZ450f. If anybody in the area has a bike I can use for a couple of days, i would be happy to compensate you.......new set of riding gear, or new helmet, or something???? would be glad to leave cash deposit for any damage.........shoot me an email if your interested jonjolley@yahoo.com

My son will race 4-6 50cc and I'll do +35..

If you're talking about the school on monday, hell no! I think $444 is absolutely ridiculous!!!!

So you can afford 2 $7000 motorcycles but you cannot ship one to Fla.?
Bet you have a cool custom painted helmet also.

That does sound steep,and I agree I def would not drop that kind of coin. But, after talking to a friend of mine who has run a school for the last few years, the insurances, and track fees and over head, are pretty crazy.
I run a construction company, so I know all about liability insurances, and workmens comp and the whole nine, even still the numbers he was dropping on me was a real eye opener.

What was particularly interesting is even though the tracks he runs his school at (in the North East anyway) are fully insured, the second he goes out to teach a class, he has to have insurance for everything as if he was holding a race, right down to the track conditions, and grooming. If the track has a spot where a rider gets hurt, he technically could be sued for it! Nuts man, nuts. And forget about the minor release non sense.

Our sue happy society has really taken it's toll on the sport we love. IMO

The threat of litigation would be the biggest reason as an individual not to rent or loan out a bike to anyone. Release or not. Too many slick talking, money grubbing attorneys out there to even consider it.

This is a supercross track to boot. yeesh, I'd say with a $1000 down as collateral damage deposit. Heard of the word, "wadded?"

Thanks for the kind words.We rent bikes out quite often because of the ammount of tourists down here in florida and have never had a problem.But thanks again for your concern.

Larry......
I can certainly afford to ship one there, it just seems silly to waste that much money on shipping a bike down there just for the weekend........
