So many colors to choose from yet so few stand out

Hope all are doing well and adequately recovered from Inzane. I had great time.
Was wondering if, VRCC and ever considered partnering with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and offered any safety training for it's members? Might be a good thing for next year's Inzane.
Wouldn't surprise me if we didn't have a few certified instructors within our group.
Just an idea, bounced it around, banked it off the wall, hit the ceiling fan and decided I'd see where it lands if I asked. Nothing to get riled up about, just curious. I'd probably sign up for a class or two.

In the past, Valker from Texas did an abbreviated course, called Dancing with the Fat Lady.
It was a good course... I would like to offer it again... if Valker is willing.

Excellent, I'm sure I would attend (assuming Inzane is located where I can go). Was hoping there would be one offering a certification (not abbreviated) that might apply for insurance coverage or even for state licensing requirements. I've been to quite a few but, it never hurts to add to the resume. Thanks for the quick response also.  |

At Inzane VI in Frisco, Colorado, I did a clinic on collision avoidance (swerving) and emergency braking. About eight riders participated, IIRC. I was an active instructor at the time. One difficulty with doing this is the availability of clear pavement and the prevention of passers-through.

I would think lacking those obstacles and passer bys would take away from the realistic value of the class.   |

Sorry GR... Brain fart. Thanks for doing the clinic! No worries. I wouldn't expect anyone who didn't participate to remember that from so long ago. I encourage any other instructors to do something similar at future Inzanes, should the facilities be suitable. |
