I just picked that one video randomly, I do not know what locations offer the BRC2 (experienced course) for free, other than PA, but I am not aware of any basic courses for free. That said, you can find a location here:

I guess I was typing the same time you posted this. Good to know others with the same interest in rider training as I, are members of this forum. Maybe we need to make an "Okie" video! I am one of those who thinks the BRC2 should still be called the experienced riders course.

In Houston, I'd go here as I went to their basic MSF course:

Ditto. I have gotten too many Basic Riders on some "Full-Tilt-Boogie" bikes and they just made a bit of a mess of the bikes and sometimes themselves.
I tell BRC students that when they get a bike, they should be actively riding for a year on that bike and be very comfortable before enrolling in the BRC2.
Any other Rider Coaches out there? At the next Rally, we can get a group photo and send it to MSF. Maybe we can write off the trip as a business expense.....

I'm a Rider Trainer and Vic Roads Officer in Melbourne Australia. Totally agree. It's all about practice. Get comfortable on your bike and keep practicing the basics of braking, counter steering, looking where you go and scanning the road ahead. These are the skills that need to be instinctive when you are riding. You don't want the first time you have to do an emergency stop to be the time a truck pulls out on you.
I would practice on a smaller, lighter bike. I cannot imagine developing riding skills on the F6B.
Re-tired, or Re-tard. Depends on your attitude.
I've taken the ARC before, but not on the F6B.... Because bikes handle differently, taking the ARC on the bikes you ride is quintessential to success.
It would be silly to take the ARC on a Buell Blast and then park the Buell and ride the "6" for 15,000 miles.
Although, taking the ARC on a Blast suddenly sounds like a lot of fun.......
Cheers,
Steve

The Stayin’ Safe experience combines the pleasures of motorcycle touring with real world, real-time advanced skills coaching. Regardless of which tour you choose, our programs are similar in that they offer riders of nearly every motorcycle type a fun opportunity to enjoy some of the best riding roads and attractions in the country while also learning advanced visual strategies and techniques for smoother cornering and safer riding. With a target ratio of three or four participants to each tour leader/coach, we conduct our instructional tours primarily on mountain roads, in rural settings and smallish towns with limited riding on divided highways and in urban environments (although we do have programs available for this type of riding).

BMW offers both on road and off road courses at their Spartanburg, SC facility:

Honda has a much bigger market share so my hope is that there is that type of course availability.
I doubt there would ever be an F6B specific course but with all the police on Gold Wings, I would think there is something out there.
Thank you for all the great responses.
