I did a motorcycle track day this year, that was a pretty big thing for me.  I was *very* nervous.  I basically spent a day riding my motorcycle around a racetrack while being instructed by experiencing race coaches. I wound up having a blast! [...] […] What was your biggest achievement of the year?

That's a good question... I would suspect they would *not* allow them because the disparity in speed could potentially lead to a dangerous situation.

The fact they were wearing skin-tight racing leathers was just a fringe benefit. Just about all of the instructors, male and female, are active racers in several regional motorcycle racing leagues so they have demonstrated their mastery of the craft!

Your instructor was a "she"? Somehow I would balk at taking any kind of driving lessons from a "she." But then again that's a sexist attitude to have, I know. She?? Your instructor was a “she”?
