I've done moto-support for some local bicycle races and triathlons, can second that this can be a lot of fun. One of my favorite moto-support moments was during the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis. I had a marshal two-up with me on my ST1100. One of his responsibilities was to confirm that the course was clear prior to start of the race. We accomplished that with a high speed run around the lakes followed by two squads with their lights flashing - great fun and would have made a fantastic picture!
