Actually one of the instructors had modulated blue point lights (like the PIAA lights) on the front of his bike. Hard to imagine that would be legal. At the very least I would expect to get serious grief from LEOs with that on. Would be nice though But as you can see in the video they just pull in front of you and point to their ass to get you to follow them.
The whole day was fantastic. Maybe a little too much time spent waiting around but the lessons learned were invaluable. I’ve actually learned some more by watcing my videos from the day. I can see how my lines improved during the day but the big thing is watching the form of the instructors whenever I was lucky enough to be directly behind one. They just make it look so easy and graceful.
There were a few students who got on my nerves. There was one guy on that huge Triumph cruiser (forget the name but it has something like a 1900cc engine). He would blast down the straights and then mess up the corners. Wouldn’t have minded but he almost took someone out in front of me as he tried to pass them under braking. Can only imagine the marshalls were asleep as it looked dangerous to me.
Bad news is I am now drooling over that completely impractical Ducati Hypermotard.
Oh, and I forgot to mention one of my fellow students was the MSF instructor who took my BRC class two years ago. That means I had better lines than he did. That made me feel good
