Local Cop can Ride!!!

This guy is local-ish to me. He works with the Ventura PD. He definitely knows his stuff. A couple videos of him riding. One from a rear mounted cam and the other from a helmet mounted cam. When I grow up I want to ride this well.

WOW! Watching Run 1 is almost vertigo inducing.

 

Yes, I have. Pretty dang impressive too!

 

HOLY COW, now that there is some talented rider....like the first vid when he's out of his seat and doin the left leg Rossi

 

Its like the legal cop version of stunt riding. very impressive. if he tries to pull me over in a parking lot i guess he will have the upper hand!

 

That's probably why they get so pissy when the 16 year old punk on the zx-10 takes off from him on the freeway.

 

These guys know how to handle a bike! I took a course two years ago here in NC with MotoMark. http://motomark1.com/ He's a retired motor cop that teaches handling and safety skills. I took the low speed handling and obstacle avoidance course. By the end of the day I was able to turn my 630 pound BMW K1200RS in a circle at full lock! It was worth every penny of $250. I put the skills I learned to use every time I'm out on a bike now.

 

I bet if I rode my VFR everyday, all day, I would be a better rider.

 

What's stopping you? I know I try to! :wink:

 

Bet I could of done that course last Sunday no problem.
Ya right, glad I didn't upchuck in my helmet.

 

Don't think they can do that over here!

 

They have 3 things going for them:
1. It's not their personal bike!
2. They are well trained.
3. I am sure they practiced on flat ground alot before going up on platform.

 

Too much blood in the alcohol stream I take it?

 

Well I don't think the Canadian Mounties can do that-look at Randy he has the drop bike record in Canada and US!:happy:

 

Exactly right

 

Well if its any consolation, I think I brained my damage

 

Haha, right behind ya. First drinks since Jan1
Out of practice fwr sure.
