I dont like how hes using the emergency 'kill switch' as a generic off button.... those switch sets are very pricey units... why not just turn it off with the key like it was designed to do...
Just for all you smartasses commenting on that this won't help them in a chase - these exercises are all about control and maneuvering over 300 kg of machinery in tight spots. That might help an officer going through shortcuts and traffic jams - spaces a car is useless in.
props to these guys for sure. low speed cornering is hard as frozen shit. but for as ridiculously hard as this may be, if theyre chasing another motorcycle, theres no way theyll be going this slow. i mean if youre at these speeds, just get off the bike and chase them down on foot. probably be easier. i think the need to make some of it more like real corners theyll encounter in a chase. not saying they dont already but this is a little much
Be sure to watch my video on "how to escape motorcycle police" by running four feet in one direction then running three feet in another direction... repeat as needed.
Yup.. been to some of these rodeos. I'd like to see some of these courses set-up for different makes of bikes to ride. The balance of the motorcycle makes a big difference. The BMW RT bikes would more than likely be best on theses types of courses.
Most of this is pretty easy once you know how. Clutch on friction point, steady throttle, control speed with back break. Nice vid, I miss doing these exercises! ;)
I owned an st1100 95' bright red pearl. A fantastic motorcycle. 96 hp and silent. I used to drag the pegs on curves! I guess the 1300 is a little better.
i have a 08 one, with abs on it , like the red one on the flim but i see he dont have any boxes on his , you must learn to ride the bike at very slow speed ,and keep your feet up" try sharp turns at 3 to 5 mph, to get the hang of any bike , anybody can speed along , but at 3 to 5 mph figures of 8 ,will tell you how good you are ,
Let's see. Over 40 comments so far .. do ANY of you OWN an ST1300? I bought an '06 new from the show floor. I rode it 22,000 in the first four months I had it... WONDERFUL bike and handles well. But with any gear and fuel aboard it is a 750 monster that can break a leg in a heartbeat if you are not careful. This training not only builds the confidence to ride the bike within it's wide range of design limits it makes you understand just how to keep it up and running when others might go down.
I own an 1150RT. It's a 635lb monster with 220lb of rider on top. Spent a lot of time in the parking lot with a tape measure and about two dozen cones yet I'm nowhere near them guys. I get on the bike, ride for an hour and then spend the next 8 hours at work. They get on a bike and ride 8 hours FOR work. I don't think any stoppie-popper crotch rocket astronaut can outride them. I tried, and lost...
what the fuck are they doing? if its like a test then yea i see but they dont even look like theyre trying to do anything beneficial. why dont they hit the track or something and throw down some lap times, that would make handling better on the road.
its called control you can do or you cant lap times on a track bollocks try road racing do the Isle of Mann or the North West 200 then you will want some controll
When I took my state test for my motorcycle license they had this deal the slower you went the better your score and if you took your feet off the pegs and put your feet down it went against you. I did fine and aced it, but seriously who gives a shit if you need to put your feet down for balance, It is the real world
lol you're a fucking retard thats not true at all. you hold your foot out and "tap" the ground to keep your self upright and how will you get seriously injured going less than 5 mph
Wow you hurt my feelings. Why don't you do me a favor and attend a police motorcycle training course. All of the training that is taught, you never put your foot down. It is discouraged because of injuries that are sustained as a result. These are not dirt bikes these bikes weigh 800 lbs plus
in reply to rassmith78 If these bike did weigh over 800 lbs, which they don't it seems like it would be more dangerous to not put your foot down and then fall over than to keep yourself upright by putting your foot out
you must be a hwy patrol officer and full of shit ,and yourself. I have 36 years of bike riding experience and find your comment ridiculous. While riding at hwy speeds you would be correct, at lowers speeds it is far from the truth.
The so called experts that are teaching these courses made this stuff up. Just like speeding kills, it is about money, they don't give a damn about any of us. It's not the officers fault obviously it's the dumb ass rules, we are not allowed to use common sense. And put rules in place to keep darwin from doing his work
good, less me ask your opinion then, in all of your riding expreience has putting your feet down in a low speed situation caused you injury or harm?. I honestly don't care about rassmith78's opinion, I checked his page and most of the comments he gets are cursed insults,hahaaaaa.
it might be true about the injury thing but i think the main porpuse for keeping your feet on the pegs at all times (unless stopped, naturally) is to show that your in control of the bike. its almost like riding with your fingers over the brake, it shows that your scared and not confident in your abilities.
watch my video of me rolling on the throttle mind you I was holding the camera with my left , I'm not scared of these bikes. It's just made up bullshit. Sure it shows balance but it is unnecessary, doesn't matter in the real world, you put your foot down if you need to.
of course you put your feet when you have to. i was just saying that the instructors what to see this, its like the 10 to 2 hand postion on the steering wheel who real does that after their test (very few!). when i done my test thats what my instructor told me, nothing to do with injuries. i put my feet down and push all the time when parking my bike (especially when two up) and never have had an injury doing it! and i meant to the instructor it shows fear and lack of confidence.
The ten and 2 position on the wheel, that is another example of some people trying to conjure some reasoning about testing that is immaterial. Stick to the facts and be objective. Do they exhibit control of the bike or are they reckless, that should be all that matters. Police and their rules are sometimes over the top and unnecessary. And there is not universal application of said rules
whats the fucking point oh ya if there following a man on fo9ot whos running through a cone maze? or there driving down the road and omfg there like 45 infant baby's lieing on the ground better dodge them at low speeds
It's a simulation of going around traffic... if there are cars in the way, you have to get around them at slow speeds, as fast as possible and without damaging anything.
Slow speed control is very valuable to a motorcycle rider.
A police man on a motorcycle can filter through traffic a lot faster than a car.
