Sure thing. But I would prefer Rossi instead... We have something in common now! And it's on the same leg ;D
I purchased a new 2008 Yamaha motorcycle. But it's not a R1, R6, FZ1, or FZ6R, so I guess Yamaha doesn't appreciate this customer as much as the other customers. :(
Hey Eric, good to see you on the board, yeah I thought it was weird that only selected models are allowed at the track day. When Ducati does official track days, all models are welcome.

I'm not sure yet JP. This job that I have now probably I can not go.

last year all yami's were welcome. I'll try to find something out.....
Yeah yardsale I find that not to cool at all. I heard Z2 is putting it together. See if they can help you out with this. You've done enough track days with them so far.
Good to see your post .

Well, Yamaha has been bleeding money.

I bought the motorcycle in 2008 and it is now 2010. What have I done for Yamaha
lately? I want to ride my 1993 Yamaha at Miller anyway.
might be time to pick up a cheap Yamaha. MCW has a Rainey personally signed R1 Limited edition they can't get ride of. Heard you could walk out the store for 8k for it.

Easy...just quit and come back!! :D :D
Alright, I know it is still kinda far away, BUT...
In case I can go. Is there any one here that could maybe perhaps who knows have a spot for my phoenix bike????
I just signed up. As long as I can get the days off work I will be there. ;D
Damm I want to buy a Benelli not a Yamaha :-\ How much if you don't own a Yamaha?
Yamaha is paying for the days and has made this rule. If you don't own one of their specified bikes you can't go. There is nothing Z2 can do. Their instructors can't even attend unless they are on a Yamaha. It cuts out almost half of their instructors from being able to go.
There are soo many benefits to having a Yami, This is the third Yamaha appreciation day this year, first one was at Laguna Seca, then ButtonWillow, now Miller.... Although, last year it was completly free to ride at miller...
The one @ MMP last year was hosted by Yamaha Champions racing school. ( Free for all yamaha owners )
Z2 does the " Buy a new Yamaha sportsbike you get a free trackday" offer. ( free only if u buy a new bike ) We are lucky that they are letting older sportsbike in for a small fee.
on a side note:
Ducati offers a free Trackday + a ducati canopy and chairs if you get a new superbike. AWSOME!!!! ;D

We mention this at every one of our rider meetings: NO other manufacturer supports local riders, local track days, and local racing like Yamaha. This event is another example of what we mean. If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to come ride Miller with Z2 and Yamaha, this is it.
If you have any questions, please email: service@zoomzoomtrackdays.com
Hope to see you there.
Best Regards,
Zoom Zoom Track Days Customer Service
p.s. For something a little closer to home, don't forget the event at Laguna Seca on September 9th with Z2 and TrackMasters. More info here: http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/
Thanks for being a Z2 customer!"
I think I will sign up!

The only one I can think about is asking around here on the Forum... So, taking the chance: In case I could make it, could someone give me and my friend Rick Tahoe a ride??? ;D
crap!! anyone have a yamaha i can borrow for a weekend??
i think ill try to talk one of my non track riding friends who own yamaha's into letting me 'test' their bike out at miller... just to make sure there all of the bugs have been worked out on it!!
Miller is such a nice track. I need to go there more often
