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.


You can't do much about the length of your life, so focus on the width.

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.   :cooldude:

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.  ;)   :2funny:

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.

I wouldn't get into that until day two.  Baby steps, Rams.
