Plenty of sunshine for this event. The facilitators were well organized and the parking lot was well prepared.
Just riding up one could tell we were in for a First Class presentation.

These Championship Award winning officers share their knowledge and experience with each other
and now they are willing to share it with the rest of the motorcycling community.

The "LA Rider" TV Show (http://www.larider.tv/)will air a segment of this Seminar on a future episode.

The Officers worked together to present a wide variety of topics.
Here’s just a small sample…

Do you run your motorcycles headlight(s) on “high beam” during the day?
Why? ( or why not?)

Take a look at the difference below…

I wouldn’t wish to run over a 4” x 4” post in the street, but if there was no choice,
It’s good to know how to reduce your risk and do it safely…

These Officers make it look easy.
OK, but, what if it’s not perpendicular to your path?

These Officers took an 80 (eighty) hour course and presented as much of the material as they could in a couple of hours
Free of charge
to the motorcycling community.

Plans are to continue this annually and maybe another one in six months.

Thanks to Joe Cobb and HPC for providing the facility complete with shade and free ice water; and

Thank you Baton Rouge Police Traffic Division for an excellent presentation!
