Default R-Series Appreciation Day for Western Canada

Hey guys, as you may have been reading on the board about the Yamaha day at Shannonville, Ontario this past weekend, I just wanted to pass on a little info I got.

I was talking to the National Marketing rep and he was telling me that they did everything possible to get a similar event going in the West. By his account, there were no tracks willing to accomadate the event.

If I were in your guys' shoes I would be emailing Yamaha Canada and your local track owners to get this event happening for you too.

Yamaha really want's to do it out there somewhere, just they can't find a location to hold it.

Never heard of it.

Is it just demo rides?

No it's much more than demo rides. They have track time, maintenance and technical seminars, dyno runs, parts and accessory displays, food and they even had Rossi's M1 there for us.

Best of all, it's free

I don't think there's enough interest out West here for that, kinda weird consider there are so many r6/r1 everywhere.

The only group that can bring Yamaha out here is SBW but they already sponsored by Kawi. I see Honda, Triump & Buell involved but not Yami.

Who wouldn't be interested in free rides on new bikes, free track time, free food, free dyno runs, free swag etc etc etc ??

Oh well, just thought I'd post it up that Yamaha want to and probably will do it sometime in the future.

Sweet, well not because you can't go, but because Yamaha got it together after all. Hopefully someone from the board goes and posts up pics and such........

yeah this is a invitation event only... i have mine but it looks like they might not do it because it said specifically on the card "weather permitting". It looks like its going to rain for that event also... too bad you only get to try out the 05's no 06's
