I talked to a motorcycle cop who told me that those bikes can do a 360 in 8 ft. they give them 9 ft in training. I thought my training for a tractor-trailer licence was tough...
I've driven various large motors over the years. I can tell you probably the best handling at slow training speeds was my HD Heritage, similar to the police motors. These bikes seem to have an inherent low center of gravity that makes cone work simple. The smoothness of the engine when it's tuned DOWN makes it easy to handle. I also loved my Goldwing for the same reasons, low CG and etc.
Very low CofG, keeping the power on while not locking the front wheel, and slipping the clutch. Also, You can see them actually turn the bars like a steering wheel, which is something you have to master.
As a motorcyclist who has chosen a Half-Helmet (open face) for riding (even though my personal State does not require a helmet); and, as a guy who did 10 safe years of riding before the switch over............I wonder why police officers don't wear full-face helmets?
Per my department, they feel a closed faced helmet is "scary" or disconnecting from the public.. Too bad it is more important to be personable than safe.
As I understood it. Open face helmets were used because they did not require the helmet to be removed in order for the officer to interact with the public. For example talking to a person on the side of the road, in a moving vehicle or in an emergency situation where the time it could take to u do the d-rings and pull a helmet off could mean life or death. I know now that in European countries motor officers are going to modular helmets which the "full face" component can be flipped up easily in one motion. I believe some areas are using them in the states now too but I may be wrong.
.......lots of motor officers now using modular helmets. They fit the need for the public to view officers faces when interacting, and provide the safety factor when riding. I wear one. Wouldn't switch for anything.
KD Neeley using the front brake in slow cone maneuvers or tight turns will cause the bike to fall. Feathering the rear brake allow you to have more control over the motorcycle staying upright
You only use the front brake for normal riding, not in situations like this. Like someone said, the front brake will make the bike go down. They use rear brake, throttle and clutch, and counter balance to make these turns
Tô lateral sides of cicle will bê good have some litle bearings (1/2 inches) fixeds tô under of feet suports to down to extreme sides of suports, sorry english
Grid lock traffic. splitting lanes and cutting over across a lane to get through between cars, obstructions, etc. Chasing a bad guy through the park, split between park benches, hard left or right with a pole, etc. I have seen motors do those things live in action. Thats why I mentioned it. It may not be every day but when the time comes where they have to get somewhere, they gotta have the skill to get there....

Learned this on switchbacks at Rushmore, revs make the motor a gyroscope

Thanks for the tips because I crashed my dirtbike on a low speed turn because I used the first break
And I thought the box in the msf course was tough
lol that course is EASY compared to the stuff they do
I know, right?
Great to do this course on someone else's bike, like the cops do
And scrape the paint from a publicly funded asset.
Yeah! a tumble even at that speed will strip skin off unprotected elbows, and helmets tend to come off when the strap isn't fastened.
See now, I'd be nervous as hell to drop the bike when I went down to scrape on the floor boards.
The bikes got crash bars all over it. You can drop it all day long and absolutely no damage.
This is awesome.
no front brake on low speed manuvers? just learned from this video.. thanks..
Love those days
How far apart are those cones?
magnificent riders....seriously they look like knights on horses.
Front braking will cause a "washout"or nose dive
I tried this it's not easy on big bike that cop is good
How do they turn so well with such limited lean angles? How would they do on a ninja 400?

That's why they have flip ups now.
I want to ride like that
What gear ?
Why did they make the comment "Hey no front break!" during the training? When is it preferable to use the front break vs the rear break? Anybody know?

Stephanie Troha Thank you Stephanie.
Stay off the front brake in tight corners

Wonder how often these techniques are actually used? lots of wear and tear on the bike.

So as he is turning he is holding the rear brake?
Jody Yes, all rear brake, clutch and throttle
Anthony Parlette I've been practicing this.. a lot harder than it looks. for sure!
Big City Motor Cop=BCMC . LAPD Motor School. A graduation cookout and off to the streets of L.A.
Philadelphia police hero thrill show FLHT bike. keep practicing
Safety first I see ! No hi viz jackets lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏

And I thought the regular test was hard
Facebook motorcycle practice guards has products for this
Harley Davidson road king dollar for dollar best low speed handing bike for the money
Front dem auto correct
तय
training wheels
xD
Riding through cone is basic handling skills; not advanced riding.
yeap great way to treat our tax money by scrapeing
Dalton, put our tax dollars to work, go back to school and learn how to spell.
