2007 NRR Event Schedule

14-Oct-08

Click HERE for more info about local riding events.

 

Come on along! All brands welcome!

Participation in all Nittany Road Rider events is open to all prior and future customers of Kissell Motorsports (all brands) and their guests (with their own bike or as a passenger). Participation in all local Nittany Road Riders events is free of charge!

NRR events are planned and led by various experienced riders for both FUN and SAFETY. Depending on the number of bikes that participate, we will try to have two groups on each ride: Sport Riders & Cruisers, one of which should provide a comfortable pace for all riders. In all cases, each rider should drive at their own pace.

Please review the NRR RIDING POLICIES. Each rider and passenger must sign the Release Form that will be available from the Ride Leader prior to each event.
