Motorrad Fest Police Rodeo Competition Run

On October 7-8, 2022, the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America sponsored the inaugural MOTORRAD FEST, which included an E-Prix course for electric bicycles, an ADV Track for adventure bike competitors, and as the premier event of the weekend a Police Rodeo.
Motor officers from four departments utilizing BMW Motorrad's authority motorcycles (both R 1200 RT-P and R 1250 RT-P) in South Carolina, Tennessee and Idaho participated in the first MOTORRAD FEST Police Rodeo, building their skills through training and practice on Friday, and competing against each other (and themselves) with three runs each on Saturday afternoon. The competition was fierce, with awards going to the first and second place riders as well as the most improved rider.
The folks who run the US Rider Academy, which is part of the BMW Performance Center in Greer, South Carolina, spent hours coming up with a unique course to challenge motor officers in ways many of them had not seen before. Many of them are also motor officers, and they served as the official timers and marshals for the course. The MOA thanks them for their time and effort, without which MOTORRAD FEST could not have been the success and fun it was. Find out more about the training offered by the US Rider Academy at bmwperformancecenter.com/moto.... Come to a future MOA Rally or Festival and get 20% off any motorcycle training course the US Rider Academy offers!
MOTORRAD FEST will be back and bigger in 2023. Stay tuned to mfest.bmwmoa.org/ for more information.

I remember coming through Boise.. Radar gun pointed at me.. I waved and the police bikers waved back.

Incredible, absolutely incredible .. thats magic.

If I have a motorcycle given to me to practice, I can become more proficient and perhaps be able to achieve/master the skills. With my own? I cannot afford it. The repairs (what you see is the final step of a long multi-drop and repair process).

[@MR-xb3nl]

Totally admire the riders’ skills but they achieved such proficiency after a lot of drop and repair on the tax payers’ dime.

[@socal33]

@@MR-xb3nlActually, the bikes we practiced with had cages over the cylinder heads and the only thing that I ever scratched up but never replaced in four weeks of drills were my foot pegs.
Better to drop it and damage it in a controlled area than just go out on the road, get injured because you didn't know what you were doing, and then pay workers chino or disability retirement. In the end you're saving money long term.

yeah..... I need more practice! 😆

[@tonocabanas2202]

Es impresionante. Me gustaría saber en que relación de marchas realiza el ejercicio. Gracias

[@mhordijk0871]

Mostly in first.
I think second for that fast weave and maybe third for the 45mph run.
