NESBA Announces 2006 Membership Drives Wyomissing, PA “” The Northeast Sportbike Association (NESBA) will be holding two membership drives in 2006, passing savings onto new and renewing members. These membership specials offer NESBA credits that can be spent on NESBA track days or merchandise. A NESBA membership has a ton of benefits including crash assurance, rain insurance, and dealer and sponsorship discounts. NESBA memberships are good for one calendar year and can be renewed before expiring. People renewing their membership early will renew their membership from the date their current memberships are set to expire, not a year from when they renew so they won’t lose any remaining months on their memberships. In addition to rewarding members, these membership drives were designed as an incentive to have memberships begin over the winter months, so more members can receive new season information before the season begins. The new 2006 member packets are scheduled to begin shipping in February, after new materials have been printed. The 2006 NESBA membership drives are as follows: 2006 Pre-season Membership Drive: Get a Jump Start on the Riding Season and Save $25. From January 1 through February 28 2006, anyone who signs up for a NESBA membership online will receive a $25 credit in his/her NESBA account. 2006 Special Northwest Membership Drive NESBA is offering a special promotion to boost membership in its newest operating region, the Northwest. Anyone living within NESBA’s Northwest region (Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alberta, British Columbia, and Northwest Territories) who purchases a membership online between January 1 and June 30, 2006 will receive a $75 credit in his/her NESBA account; from July 1st through December 31st, a $50 credit will be placed in his/her NESBA account. NESBA holds track days at Spokane Raceway and Portland International and is the only track day organization to hold weekend dates at Pacific Raceways. NESBA is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that sponsors track days and provides riding instruction at premier racetracks across the country, including Barber, Road America, Road Atlanta and VIR.

Offer not valid on memberships purchased through any other discount program. And now, some wise-guy reader comment: FIRST PERSON/OPINION: Via e-mail Not to point out the obvious, but if NESBA is “assuring” crashes, this could be the reason memberships are down!
