Twistie Carving: 3 & 7 day all-inclusive trips
If you guys were going to go on an all inclusive 3 or 7 day sport touring trip through some really nifty twisties in the northeast and southeast. What would you expect to get out of your registration fees?
An initial idea would be to have all meals and lodging covered with registration. Each hotel would have a hired security officer present to watch your bikes overnite. The daily rides would be about 250-300 miles through some of the finest roads in MD,VA,WV,NC,NE. Your trips would be lead by some of the most professional, mature and fun, twisty carvers out there. All motorcycles are invited. No racing or horseplay just great hard riding through the mountains.
The evenings would be filled with some form of legal entertainment. The rides would be captured via on board video as well as depicted in numerous digital images. Each rider would get a finished CD with the video and digital photos. A ride long-sleeve tee-shirt as well. If the roads were a 10, the food was a10, would this be a worth while endeavor. A great chance to meet some really great people and have lots of fun! What are your thoughts?

You could have a few rental bikes too. Like older VFR 800, 636, GSXR 750...

Excellent points thank you. Another concern is liabilty. I know many other "rides" are covered via a highly detailed and signed/witnessed waiver. I also know having a program like this under the umbrella of an LLC is the way to go. Is there another window of concern?
Rental bikes: What CC: and I would think the liability and insurance for rented bikes would be extremely high. I would think having regional tour guides is the better way to go. Keeping the excursions within riding distance of the regional interest group would help. Maybe the final day would be at a health resort, sauna, massages and hot tubs!
But great riding and fun are on the top of the list.
