For a class in the Bay Area, checkout the Alameda County Sheriff's Department motorclass. They have a civilian version, but use the same techniques as in RLAP. You sign up for the class on their website.

RLAP class in California is down in LA; next to LAX.

You may want to consider a Hayden M6 Tensioner. With it you can idle in first gear w/o lurching.

To get real value out of any riding videos, don't pay so much attention to where the motor goes, and instead watch the rider's head and eyes. If it's a video of something done right, or something done wrong, you can almost always find the reason in the head and eyes.
