With that said, there ARE track day organizations that'll give rides on the back of a QUALIFIED INSTRUCTOR'S bike. Cornerspeed and Tony's Track Days are two examples of that.

The one drewpy uses allows it.
I think the bike/driver have to be in advanced, and you have to run in novice when 2 up IIRC.
I know he was talking about taking PC out for one sometime.

wow... Guess I'll go boil a brick :P

On the grand scheme of things, my TD experience outside the org that I work for is pretty limited... but I'd imagine that's some pretty friggin serious liability right there. Just think of the legal ramifications if something were to happen. I can't imagine the insurance companies would look too favorably upon the TD organizer letting an unqualified rider out on the track w/ a passenger. There must be some hefty restrictions in place for them to allow that.
