I have had some problems with posting. Have them resolved now. The 2007 Season has had some twist for me.&nbsp; It started with an injury at Southwick on 4/1/07. Tried to ride both my KX85 and&nbsp; try out my KX250F.&nbsp; Had plans to race the 85B Class and Super Mini for the first half of the season, then switch to the KX250F. The KX250F felt more comfortable to ride so choose to run the KX250F. Had good results. With the KX250 I have pulled must of the hole shots for the whole season.&nbsp; Broke My wrist right after the New England Classic, held at Hemond's Motocross Park, in Minot, Me. If you missed the Classic's you missed a great time. They held practice for the week before and we had lot's of riding. It is a great track&nbsp; at a beautiful location with lot's of parking. Have had some issues with NESC that have altered our season. These issues are going to have to be resolved in the legal system. I want to thank all my Sponsors who have helped me this season. I hope to and would be proud to represent them for the 2008 Season.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks to all, who have&nbsp; helped and stuck by me.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nicky B.&nbsp; 108yhttp://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=eec68e0e-692d-4183-ac8d-f757f64ef619Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:05:14 GMTReggie's Kawasaki Ski-DooReggie's Kawasaki Ski-Doo in Wales, Maine has been a great Sponsor for two years. I need to thank Ken, Scott, Craig, Keven, Steve&nbsp;and all the Staff&nbsp;for thier&nbsp;super support..&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nicky B.http://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=3feed39b-3b39-4127-99c6-a13c0265486bFri, 25 May 2007 07:45:44 GMTKawasaki, Hole ShotsThe new&nbsp; KX250F, is running great. I have been lucky to have gotten, 10 hole shots out of the last 12 Motos, with 5 Overall 1st and 1 Overall 2nd. The KX250F is Awesome. I can not wait to get more seat time on the bike. It is a different Ride from last year on my KX85's or KX100's. Will be running&nbsp; NESC at Bull Run in Greene, Maine &nbsp;this weekend.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hope to see some of you there.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nicky &nbsp;B.http://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=66af9366-175a-40c8-9d38-c328045c5e96Mon, 21 May 2007 12:57:32 GMTAdjust, New Format<p>Sorry not to have been up dating. We have had a hard time to get the new format to work. Does not seem to be as friendly as the old one.&nbsp; I did go to Florida for 11 days this Winter. Had a great time. The Weather in Maine has not been to friendly this Sping. Did get to go to Southwick for the first NESC Race. Had a good first two Motos.&nbsp; We ran into some problems, loosing a muffler on the next one.. Next , we had back to back Motos. The second Moto took off before I could get back to the Starting Gate and change Bikes.&nbsp; They had a hudge start on me. Got by a lot of them , but my hands were welded to the grips when I got back. Called it a day after that.&nbsp; Still was a great day at the Races. My new 250F Kawasaki ran great. Can not wait to get some more seat time on it.&nbsp; Pulled two Hole Shots. Not bad for never having practiced before this Race. </p>http://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=6ac82a7f-0ad8-4d33-b921-3a57ce202014Mon, 21 May 2007 12:41:56 GMTTHANK YOU SPONSORS<p>I&nbsp;raced my last race for the season on 10/22/06 at Hemonds Motocross Park in Minot, Maine. This track is no doubt one of the best tracks in New England.&nbsp; If you have not raced on it, you need to plan to in 2007.&nbsp;The season in Maine is over. I have been riding in the pits. I am going to Flordia on 12/20/06, for ten days to practice. We will be practicing at Waldo and some other tracks in the area.&nbsp; Will also&nbsp; plan to go down in February. We are also working hard to get support and sponsors for the 2007 season. I want to thank my sponsors for 2006. Each one was important in my 2006 season.&nbsp; I need to thank Jim Myrick and Maine Cycle for their&nbsp; outstanding Track Support. I want to thank Reggie's Kawasaki in Leeds, Maine &nbsp;for sponsoring me with a bike this 2007 season. I want to thank Team Green for sponsoring me with&nbsp;the Team Green Dealer Support&nbsp; Program for 2007.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Have a nice winter,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nicky B.</p>http://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=cb11f502-2451-4c6e-a34e-e51e22b6b3a9Wed, 29 Nov 2006 21:12:43 GMTNew England Regional ChampionshipHad a great time at the New England Regional Championship. On the first race, SuperMini12-15, on Saturday, I got tangled with someone on the start and went down. Two bikes landed on me. It took me a while to get going. Finished 14th the first moto. Injured my left wrist. I thought it was broken. Gave me lots of pain and problems the rest of the series. In the 85B12-15, I got a 4th, 2nd, and 1st, for a 2nd overall. Thanks to all my sponsors. Went to the hospital yesterday and said it was sprained, then&nbsp;2 weeks later the hospital called and said&nbsp;it was broken and if it still was hurting I would need a cast.&nbsp; Hope to be able to go to the Kawasaki Race Of Champions at the end of the month.http://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=2c2ecc99-4d80-4077-98a4-f0b8458e9d8dThu, 07 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMTThank You, SponsorsI want to thank all my Sponsors. Each and every one of them played an important roll in my Championships and Spring Series results. Kawasaki - Reggies Kawasaki Skidoo, in Leeds, Maine. Kawasaki has kept me competitive and and up front. I have owned 6 Kawasaki bikes in the last 21/2 years. My brother owns 2. We both love Kawasaki Bikes. Maine Cycle - Track Support. Jim Myrick has given us the best tract support in Maine. DeCal Works - They have kept our bike looking good, after many crashes. Engine Ice - They have kept our bikes running cool. We check our bike fluids after every moto. We also check friends bikes. Have found their bikes low on many occasions. Have put Engine Ice in their bikes. Now all my friends use Engine Ice. Renthal - We use nothing but Renthal handlebars, grips, sprockets and chains. They are no doubt, the best. The handlebars, have help me to be able to keep racing after nasty crashes. The chains have never fail. I feel much more confident and relax with these products on my bikes. I know they help me win the Championships. TwinAir - We have run TwinAir filters on all our bikes. They have kept our engines healthy and and running from the start. Have had no engine problems. I know TwinAir has played an important role in winning the Championships also. Utopia Optics - I have used other goggles in the past and can honestly say, Utopia is the best. I have 3 pairs. One of them are the Roll Off. This system, with the Pull Off, is the best going. It has help me win many races in the mud and rain. I also have the Travel Case, love it. Monster - Monster has just become a sponsor. My grandfather keeps the refrigerator stocked in our Motohome. All my friends come over to cool off. We love Monster. Monster is a Sponsor of Team Maine Cycle, so I have the Monster Logo on all my gear. SponsorHouse - Thank you, for getting me in contact with my Sponsors. Your the best.http://www.loopd.com/members/NICKMX/blog.aspx?resourceId=cbf8068c-2f07-4738-9b6d-583bca245b31Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMTMMS 2006 SPRING CHAMPIONSHIPHad last race of Maine Motocross Spring Series Championship.
