Actually the instructors were on FZ1's but there were a number of R1's in the garage. The students were all on R6's. Glad I bought on in December. I hope you get to go. I think you will really enjoy it and learn alot.

I had the opportunity for a private day with Ken last year at Thunderhill. Early in the day I told him I wanted to better understand trailbraking. He responded by putting me on the back of his bike with the A group. It took a LOT of faith to be a passenger and must have been demoralizing to a lot of the riders that were being passed entering corners by a two up machine. A great demonstration of just how hard and deep it can be done.

I watched the Spies and Hayes video interviews on Ken's site. You were probably there and that must have been a real bonus.
