insurance costs on the moto version probably would double the cost of production

Still would be worth it for the cost to produce a show

me neither but it would be great to see a bike shootout with some real world riders on their bikes, and especially if there is a busa trying to run a race track with a 42" stretch swingarm. Hell i would vote you on the show with your GS, you would prolly beat half the jokers out there

I really want to get my GS on the track for just the curiousity factor.

Insurance? WTF? That's what waivers are for. And getaway vehicles. And aliases.

Waivers don't stop lawsuits and shit. You sign a waiver to go to any track day and if you don't think the track doesn't have insurance, you are kidding yourself. It's probably law for them to have it.

Zoom could probably answer this more accurately though.

Insurance is ridiculous. I've learned more about insurance for high risk activities than I ever wanted to know On average, I carry $9m in coverage for a normal trackday - though for an event like this I'd imagine it would be less as it is limited participants.

I'd be game for hosting this... anyone have a camera crew?
