We are Joe Vadeboncoeur and Scott Daubert, your everyday off-road motorcycle racers. The above photo is from the beginning of the 2009 season. Our bikes and gear are going to need to be updated in that photo this spring, but until then…
We live in southern Wisconsin and compete in the new RPAoffroad WIXC series, District 16 hare scrambles series, District 16 Enduro series, National Harescrambles series, National Enduro series, OMA series, and the GNCC series. Scott races the AA group locally and the A group on the national level, Joe races the A group locally and the B group nationally. On just about any weekend, you will find us at an offroad event – somewhere.
In 2008, we did the entire Grand National Cross Country Racing Series . We managed to complete that with the help of our sponsors, you can go back over the blog archives to read an almost day by day log of that experience. It was a hoot. Guys in their 40’s shouldn’t have that much fun. We saw a part of the country we had never seen, we raced in far off places, we were passed by David Knight (more times than we should have been) and we had a grand time. We were National racers – sort of.
We continue to compete locally and nationally. You can follow along with us, and laugh at us or with us every week on our blogs. We will do all of that with huge smiles on our faces, because… the worst day on a motorcycle is still pretty damn good.

Vesrah Suzuki Offroad team update
2010 is just about here. The local season is still a ways off, but Scott and Joe are preparing in earnest for the season.
- Training programs that are being followed.
- Race schedules being developed.
- Bikes being built.
- New Moose clothing being assembled.
- etc…
As usual, we can barely wait for the season at this time of the year.
Joe and Scott will both be riding Suzuki RM-Z 250 4 strokes for the 2010 season. Both are riding 2009 bikes for the early season, but hope to have the new Fuel Injected 2010 models in the spring. Wow. Fuel injection offroad. Cannot wait.
You can see all the stories from the past year, and see all our bike set up specs etc… in the blog sections. www.vesrahsuzukioffroad.com,
We owe a huge amount of thanks to Mark and Nancy at Vesrah/Suzuki. They have been unbelievably supportive of our efforts to race locally and the GNCC series. All of our sponsors have been super and we just cannot say enough good things about them and the products they have offered us. They are all great people and we truly love their stuff.

Yes, we’ve missed you at the schools but look what you are doing, that is great. It sounds like a life of leisure to me. I think I’m the guy who rides the least of anyone that I know and that is a crime. The cobbler’s family go without shoes.
You are right, we’ve been really busy the last couple of years, almost too many schools but being a gypsy is what it is. Much is the same but much is also different than it used to be. I think we’ve ironed out a lot of stuff to make the days go a lot smoother for the students and we use a lot more coaches now than before. What a project it is keeping up with your passions.
Good luck to you and Joe.
All the best,
Keith
Joe & Scott,
It was great meeting you both in FL. That’s a tough first race after a winter off! I hope you’re hands held up.
We (my partner Sam and I) were very impressed with the bikes/graphics, and could not be happier as a sponsor of your team.
Good luck with the series!

As I am putting together my first Suzuki offroad 2-stroke, I would like to say thank you so much for listing the products and settings of your bikes. You would think that sponsors would request such information be readily available to consumers. Thanks again, Eric
Thanks so much. If everybody had a bike spec listing as organized as you guys, and were as willing to share info, I truly believe sponsors would see an increase in their sales.
Sincerely,
Eric V. & K. Ashley Muth
