I'd like to nominate several members on here if possible.
sparky1397r:
Sparky is just a genuine good guy - which are few and far between in this area. Not only does he offer an extra set of hands to help with a bike project, but is also the first to offer with a car as well. If he can't help with labor he's always more than willing to borrow tools, expertise, or even parts off of his own bike. He took me to buy my first bike, a Ninja 250, in November 2006. Without his help I would not be where I am today in the world of motorcycles in not only knowledge, but actual riding ability as well.

dave3.4:
I met Dave for the very first time at 5:30 in the morning on the day of the SH.org SGMP rental. He PM'ed me earlier that week after reading about my truck/trailer woes and offered to not only ride with him to the track, but to transport my bike and parts as well. I had never met the guy before and he extended this offer to me - which in itself shows hes a racer willing to help a fellow racer. Since then we've crossed paths several times at the local track and hes gone above and beyond to help out and asked for absolutely nothing in return.

I also met Cory for the first time at the SH.org SGMP rental. He introduced himself, shook my hand, and acted as if we've known each other for some time. He not only filmed my runs, which helped me continue to learn when I got home, but helped strap my front end, work on my bike, etc. Throughout the day I asked MANY questions about his bike, trailer setup, etc and he was always willing to answer and educate me. Not to mention you have to like his parenting techniques by calling the TV his kid's "third parent" and "babysitter"

Without these three I wouldn't have learned as much as I did this race season nor have made the SH.org rental in October. Three stand up guys, they get my nomination.
