I was a motor cop for 15 years in the US. When I was a lieutenant, I had a line of police bikes from all over the world in my office. One day a man and his so walked by and the man was pointing to them, so I wasn't out to greet them. He had been a motor officer in Kennemerland in the Netherlands so I gave him one of our Traffic Division polo shirts. A few weeks later the son arrived and dropped off a collection of Dutch Police items including a baseball cap, tie, and tie bar. It was great to see you getting to experience some of their training. The instructors were great representatives of the Dutch Police. I'm glad I discovered your channel with this video! Best wishes from Delaware, USA! 🇺🇸🏍
And of course it is a very good advertising for the police of the Netherlands. There scills and profesionality in driving a motorbike seems to be remarkable.
@@beakittelscherz5419 I don't know. It is true that a lot of collegues are bikers. Why? The feeling of freedom? The bond you have amongst each other like bikers do?
Hello Noud, for the exact reason why you would have to ask the person driving it. But I do have an idea. Every city orders it's own specifications on the bikes. It does happen a lot that the cruise control is not ordered because there are too many other buttons to be installed (and for the price as well). Also the bikes being offered to the police zones are pretty much standard. Like I said, the police force orders the specifications needed themselves. That wunderlich throttle lock can be convenient to practise figure-8 moves, very slow speed maneuvers ,... to keep the revs up. I saw as well that the bike had a non standard throttle lock ;) :p
@@noudwieland3668 Hello Noud. The reason is that a lot of riders give police directions (with their right hand) while riding. The wunderlich is much better to handle in that case. Greetings from a police biker from The Royal Dutch Marechaussee.
First day out with my license I went too hot into the turn and braked and stood the bike up and went into oncoming traffic but got lucky. Ever since then I’ve always put a high value on advanced rider training, defensive riding techniques (which doesn’t mean slow, quite the opposite in fact), and regularly practiced braking at various speeds, lean angles, and different bends (parabolic increasing curves are my favourite), emergency braking, and trail braking. I still watch and analyze crashes to see how I could have prevented them, try to learn new techniques, and try and hone low speed maneuvers. Never stop learning. It always pays off. My advanced training and constant focus on learning has saved my life 3 times that I know of.
You have really raised the bar this season in regards to challenging yourself and improving your riding skills. They need to make you a deputy after this 🚔👮♀️🇳🇱
Police in western Europe are highly educated. There is normally a 3-5 year program (depending on which country) to even start serving the public as a street officer.
This is also how the police talks to you and handles you when they pull you over. Day and night difference between American officers if I have to believe the reality shows...
The instructor seems to genuinely love what he does. Having a passionate instructor makes all the difference in the world when it comes to learning, and you seem to be loving it too! Looking forward to another double episode week! 😁
I attended a training course in Huntington Beach, California, put on by their motorcycle officers... what a great experience! Great bunch of guys, and great skill training... plus it was free, and they provided lunch! Loved this video. Your spirit is so contagious and always makes me smile!
I did a training day with the Scottish Police many years ago. Such a great day and brilliant riders keen to pass on their skills and knowledge to help make us all safer and better riders
One year later a border officer in Nicaragua will tell her... "OH... You are the one that trained with the Police Akademy"... That was an remarkable moment. Very cool. I love when stuff like that is happening! Or suddenly people from other channels that I also watch pop up; like Charly Sinewan, Ed Merch, Or the Sealife rescue at South Africa... Didn't see that coming! 😏👀😁😁😁🛵😃
This was a great video Itch Boots...I have watch this a few times now, most exciting, I am a retired Motorcop out of Alberta, Canada. I was an instructor for 25 years. Taught the same course,,, our course was 80 hours plus spring refresher of 20 hours on course. Our rides when I started were Harleys and had the same fun. I used to put on a family day for the motor officers family's could come out to the track to watch and get some ride time as well,,,under some instruction. This episode brought back so many wonderful memories being on the track teaching. And believe me YOU would be a great Motor Officer!!!!
The Police escort to the Academy was very cool, as is the Instructor. You seemed to impress him with your ability to learn quickly. Another great video from Noraly.
The police bikes here in the Netherlands are incredable!! So many awesome features, so much comfort!! The power is also absolutely awesome!! Great vid girl!! These things are badass!!
Those big beemers must be a bit like the starship Enterprise with all that gear they carry around. Brilliant idea to do this, I think that they don´t invite everybody so they apreciate what you do, just like we all do.
This was one of the best videos in the series. A huge "respect" must go to the Dutch Police Motorcycle Section for allowing you such close access to their training centre.
Memories, memories, once i was a young man and knew that circuit as the inside of my pocket. Now I am a bit older but when i see this, i know my hart is still young! Thanks Noraly, for charing. For me it was a trip to memory lane. No regrets here, still using the skills I learned there and thankfull for a wonderfull time.
Wow! That was so cool! I had a smile on my face the entire time I was watching! And the main guy was great too! He really seemed like he had the heart of a teacher. Thanks for posting!
Police motorcycle training was by far the best training i ever received. It is a perishable skill. You are fantastic in your riding endeavours. All the best Noraly!
Greetings, Noraly, from the beautiful Pacific Northwest! I just discovered you here and on IG and this video was fabulous! I recently bought a 2006 R1200RT-P, a former Seattle Police bike and watching you here and listening to the instructor will definitely influence my next parking lot practice sessions! Thank you!
It is great that the Police allowed you to join them .The instructor has an excellent calming way of teaching . Also I was delighted to see you ride the R1200R Boxer machine . A much underrated bike . Loving this series .
I miss the "little bridge" , but LOVE the different views of the city! 😃 THANK YOU to the Police Academy for allowing Noraly to visit & practice!! This is soo cool!! I can't imagine, doing stuff one might not have done much before, in front of a bunch of others, on the instructor's bike - the PRESSURE!! But, Noraly handles such things SO WELL!! How??
I am awestruck at how helpful the instructor wanted to be to you. Trust me, it is rare for a motor cop to be so accommodating to a citizen here in the States. You bring out the best in people, Noraly. Including motorcyclists with badges. :)
That's our Dutch police. There to serve and help people. We believe in transparancy and education when enforcing safety in our democracy. It works as long as citizens respect authority when needed. We do cause we like the policing to stay this way. I wish other countries in the world would do that too.
Great episode, can’t wait for the next... as a retired London Traffic Officer it’s interesting to see how the Dutch training compares with the Met’s. Our off road training was done on the Army’s tank training ground... the instructor told us to never let on how much fun we had otherwise the Commissioner would be sure to put a stop to it! 😆
That was one of the first things that came to my mind when watching this video's outro, like, wait they are having an aweful lot of fun, aren't they supposed to be training to be cops? hahaha
@@Juuul89 trust me there is nothing better as a biker than being paid to ride motorbikes and thrash them all over the country for 3wks 😊👍 (oh and learning to be a better safer rider of course!)
I've been riding since 1973 (age 21) and mc cops have always been friendly and courteous to me in Texas. Most have ridden Harley Davidson until the last 10 years or so they have ridden Honda Gold Wings. Here in the Houston area, they seem to ride a lot of escort duty. I seldom see a motor officer doing traffic enforcement. The Dutch BMW bike is impressive!
I just adore Noraly ! Big blue eyes, a smile that lights up your day and the cutest accent .... add to this her positivity and courage . Love watching your adventures.
@@ItchyBoots well noraly as far as motor bikes go you have done it all , but iv yet to see you pull a wheelie and hold it . well are you game ,or are you chicken ?? regards phil australia
@@philbond4297 Pulling wheelies is for stunt shows and idiots on the road that only care for themselves. Seen plenty of videos of these fools crashing into peoples cars and bystanders. I have been riding for over 40 years and never felt the need to pull a wheelie to show off, I am an Instructor, CBTA Officer and a Motorcycle member of IAM. Stick with the skills for the right place...Not saying you do them on the road of course cause only idiots do that...Of course this is just my opinion
@@fprintf I pull wheelies on my R1250GSA to help get over obstacles. In certain situations you just need to get the front wheel in the air to keep the skid plate from hanging up. Not something that you should ever need on the street, most of the dirt riding skill set is like that, though. There isn't a lot of cross over skills from dirt to street, but learning how to keep a bike up when it's sliding around can be very helpful.
I have got the same bike as your Instructor. Mine is the 2014 R1200RT. I am 61 years old and once you get used to the bike, it is really easy to ride, despite it's size and weight. The problem you had with your boot is actually common and I had the same issue when I got it. You simply adjust your movements of you feet and in no time this becomes a none issue. I can see this being a bigger problem if you would use Motorcross boots that have zero give. This version of the BMW RT has another future that will catch you out the 1st time you use the brakes a bit harder, spatially in a corner as the front doesn't dive at all under braking as you would expect it to do. Anyway...what a great video and complements to the instructor. I laughed when I saw you trying to get the side stand down...been there...done that. I am 1.89m tall and despite that had the same problem. Again, you have to learn to get around the fairing.
A riding day full of activities and study. Dealing with motorcycle on the road is also a learned thing. It really seems that the police academy is something very special and serious. The most wonderful thing is that in everywhere you are received with sympathy and a desire to teach you. Waiting for the next video, just wonderful !!
I don't know how you persuaded the Police to cooperate so wonderfully, but we can all congratulate them on winning such a great favor from all viewers of your channel. Bravo Dutch Police - you are wonderful! Many successes in catching traffic offenders! Happy New Year 2021!!!
Well there is no crime in Scandinavian countries (may change now due to migrants) so the police basically have no serious job other than driving around for fun.
Wow Noraly, best video this year! I did enjoy it. My dad was once a police biker too. The reason a drive a GS boxer now ;). These instructors are the top of the world. Many thanks to them for joining for one day awesome
Oh my days! I have never worried for you until this video... I felt all the pressure just watching you....all those flipping buttons and the size of the bike! You did brilliantly, well done! I am so impressed with the police training set up...I can’t think we have anything so good for our motorbike cops here in the UK! Jackie x
UK motorcycle officers are very highly trained. In fact, the must serve time in a traffic/response car before they’re allowed to move up to the bikes. UK police also do riding days with the general public motorcyclists that would like to improve their skills.
@@motosnape Hi Neil, I wasn’t criticising our UK police motorcyclists, they are superb riders and I have plans to do a review and training session myself with our local road safety officer who is an ex motorcycle cop. I was more commenting on the facilities that the Dutch training school have available to them which look amazing!
@@mjp_adventures7582. That’s the joy of online comments, never precisely sure of what’s implied😉 I did my compulsory basic training, then my direct access test with an instructor who is an ex-police motorcycle officer. The level of training was superb and I went out on test day with a greater level of knowledge and skill than I needed to pass that day. He was excellent and it’s part of the reason that I have the utmost respect for their skills. You’re probably right that the Dutch have better facilities than the UK.
it is wonderful to see that a lady who passed through so many paved roads, now getting trained to become better rider. Actually I am inspired by her action "never stop learning"
I learned to ride a bike in 1979 on the UK's RAC/ACU training course. It was all Police Instructors. They were brilliant. We were taught bike handling and how to stay alive. 40 years later, I still put that training into practice.
Money couldn't buy this kind of advertising for the Police! Great of them to welcome you and show you round, and what a great instructor, giving a positive, confident instruction with a huge passion for what he does - well done them!
Wahoo! This series may be about the Dutch moto scene, but it's also a fascinating, in depth look at the Dutch. I love this. The skills you learn from the police training are excellent. Many of us, especially seasoned riders, should be so lucky as to ride in their program. Cheers, cheers Noraly. Oh, and BTW, the Christmas special (lost voice and all) was a really great.
These two episodes at the Academy are brilliant. I'm an experienced road rider and I learned a lot from the comments from the instructors. These gentlemen are fantastic motorcyclists and teachers, and they've done their service proud. Good on them, and good on you Noraly for being a good student.
In my teens when started riding, Dad was in charge of the Police Academy. I got to learn from the pros on their off-time. I learned both Car and Motorcycle. It was great training for life. I am happy to see you learning from these people that ride the bikes all day.
You are so good Noraly! I had my motorcycle cop training years back and it was awesome too. This episode brings back memories. And very instructional and fun. Your videos should be on Netflix! I haven't watch Netflix since I discovered your video blogs. I'm still binging on season 1 and jumping here and there.
"OFFICER" Itchy Boots, well done. I am an 'old fart' that used to ride a sportster when I was in my 20's. Now, I would be afraid to get on a bike here in the states. Most drivers don't like a bike in traffic and don't know how to behave around them,. Some riders bring it upon themselves. But, I still get the thrill of riding by 'riding' along with you. You show us the joy of riding, and also many locations not many of us would ever be able to see in person. Then , you go and ride with the Dutch police!!! AWESOME. I could tell you were stoked, and it appeared the officers were impressed by you. I watched all your series in order and now restarted and part way thru Patagonia. What a surprise when series 6 popped up. Thank you so muck for what you do1 BE SAFE!!! Remember to keep it between the lines ( when the lines are there) 😂🤣
20 or so years ago I was lucky enough to much the same as this in the UK , I learnt so much from the Police and am still riding at 61 years of age and still love it , Motorcycling has and is like a drug to me I can only go so long with out riding . Ps I used to love my Pan Euros . Happy new year to you
This was so amazing...police ahead and behind...like a vip movement..the bigger bike's instrument panel looked like combo of baby Yoda and another animal I can't remember name of.....so excited for Thursday....🤩🤩🤩
That really is advanced riding. Fantastic. I'd love to spend a day training with those guys. I'm an advanced rider and blood biker and improvement is always possible. Absolutely excellent film. Spend your money on training guys.
Amazing to see the officer was patient so polite with his instructions imaginative to say the least bet you enjoyed every minute keep the vids coming love the channel 🏴
Sjezus, net geüpload en dan meteen al over de 2300 views. Maar, welverdiend Noraly. Jouw bijdragen op YT zijn van zo'n geweldige kwaliteit dat zo'n aantal ook weer niet echt als verrassing komt. Mooie jaarwisseling en goede vooruitzichten voor 2021.
I just love your enthusiasm, its how I felt 40 years ago, the instructor was brilliant calm and concise. I did an advanced riders course in the UK a long time ago and it was very much like this and it gave me confidence and respect for the machine I was riding. Enjoy 2 wheels it cant be beat.
Good evening Internets, what a lovely channel. Stumbled across the channel when i saw this video as i am a bike instructor in the UK teaching novices to ride so was interested in the techniques and instruction. Then i wondered who this bubbly Dutch woman Itchy Boots who loves riding bikes is. I am now working my way through all Noralys video content starting Series 1 in India. Thank you for posting so much good content and looking forward to getting through it during yet another lockdown when we cant ride
You never fail at keeping our interest! What an experience that had to be for you! The police escort was so cool and what a great instructor. I can’t believe how well you maneuver on a strange bike...you were born to ride! Learning braking techniques on a curve in the rain on a strange bike...my pants would probably need a change lol. Great video, can’t wait for the next! 🏍🇺🇸
This was simply satisfying to watch. I have always wanted to do a police riding course. They really do challenge you with a series of maneuvers. Great video!!!!
…as my playlist had arrived at Queen, this video pops up. How very fitting on many levels. ^^) I find it very considerate and appropriate that the police escorted Noraly like a queen there as well. :oD
What a wonderful learning experience! In this short episode you covered bike handling exercises that I think most riders in the US have never done. We saw you become a better rider in 20 minutes, well done!
Good morning Noraly! Another great installment in the Dutch Moto Scene. Thank you for this series during this era. We’ve all certainly endured a tragic year. Ride safe my friend!
I gave up riding bikes about ten years ago, seeing you doing this training on the police bike has made very envious. riding that bike listening to André Rieu would make this 70-year old think I'm in heaven.
Greetings from Scotland. When we instructed on this, we taught as the bike sits up, to push forward on the inner bar (counter steering) and the bike will follow the cornering line. Practising slow riding and braking is what keeps you alive.
Hi Noraly, a great video, and as you are already an accomplished rider, the skills you learn here, will benefit all riders watching this video, I think you surprised the police with your skills!
Itchy Boots, "The weather is also pretty crap" and you can hear the smile in her voice. Bret Tkacs at the end of his videos it says "ride with a smile, Attitude matters". Miss Noraly takes that to the next level. Thank God for Noraly and her amazing attitude.
Noraly, you bring me joy when I watch your videos! When the pandemic lets you travel, I recommend you to come to Portugal! We will love to receive you in our beautiful country!
You impress me more and more with every video and i'm proud to have promoted your site to as many bikers in the UK as possible! PS: What a cool instructor you had here!!!!!
Dankjewel Itchy voor deze vlog! Hierdoor heeft Paula, m’n a.s. vrouw, ook eens kunnen zien wat deze politie motor rijopleiding inhoud, die ik i.v.m. m’n werk ook in het verleden gedaan heb! Maar ook voor jouw is dit een geweldige dag geweest, waar je zeker weten iets van geleerd hebt.

@@fprintf I pull wheelies on my R1250GSA to help get over obstacles. In certain situations you just need to get the front wheel in the air to keep the skid plate from hanging up. Not something that you should ever need on the street, most of the dirt riding skill set is like that, though. There isn't a lot of cross over skills from dirt to street, but learning how to keep a bike up when it's sliding around can be very helpful.
Yes officer Boots I know I was speeding, I don’t want to be late watching Noralys new video! Love ❤️ the channel! 🇺🇸
I have got the same bike as your Instructor. Mine is the 2014 R1200RT. I am 61 years old and once you get used to the bike, it is really easy to ride, despite it's size and weight. The problem you had with your boot is actually common and I had the same issue when I got it. You simply adjust your movements of you feet and in no time this becomes a none issue. I can see this being a bigger problem if you would use Motorcross boots that have zero give. This version of the BMW RT has another future that will catch you out the 1st time you use the brakes a bit harder, spatially in a corner as the front doesn't dive at all under braking as you would expect it to do. Anyway...what a great video and complements to the instructor.
I laughed when I saw you trying to get the side stand down...been there...done that. I am 1.89m tall and despite that had the same problem. Again, you have to learn to get around the fairing.
A riding day full of activities and study. Dealing with motorcycle on the road is also a learned thing. It really seems that the police academy is something very special and serious. The most wonderful thing is that in everywhere you are received with sympathy and a desire to teach you. Waiting for the next video, just wonderful !!
Your amazing. You know how to be happy. It's so good to see. Good on you from Australia.
I don't know how you persuaded the Police to cooperate so wonderfully, but we can all congratulate them on winning such a great favor from all viewers of your channel. Bravo Dutch Police - you are wonderful!
Many successes in catching traffic offenders! Happy New Year 2021!!!
No persuasing needed, they give riding courses there together with the KNMV
Well there is no crime in Scandinavian countries (may change now due to migrants) so the police basically have no serious job other than driving around for fun.
@@softwareengineer9435 not a Scandinavian country though...
@@ajdegroot1980 Technically you're right, I should have said West Europe. I kinda mix them sometimes to make a point.
@@softwareengineer9435 pure bullshit
Wow, how exciting. You did well. The motor police are so professional.
Great experience on a great bike, those BMW's as well as their drivers are unbelievable. Thanks for sharing 🙏
You can just see how professional and very adept at what they do. Big big thumbs up for the officers. Great vid as per norm.
Wow Noraly, best video this year! I did enjoy it. My dad was once a police biker too. The reason a drive a GS boxer now ;). These instructors are the top of the world. Many thanks to them for joining for one day awesome
Oh my days! I have never worried for you until this video... I felt all the pressure just watching you....all those flipping buttons and the size of the bike! You did brilliantly, well done! I am so impressed with the police training set up...I can’t think we have anything so good for our motorbike cops here in the UK! Jackie x
UK motorcycle officers are very highly trained. In fact, the must serve time in a traffic/response car before they’re allowed to move up to the bikes. UK police also do riding days with the general public motorcyclists that would like to improve their skills.
@@motosnape Hi Neil, I wasn’t criticising our UK police motorcyclists, they are superb riders and I have plans to do a review and training session myself with our local road safety officer who is an ex motorcycle cop. I was more commenting on the facilities that the Dutch training school have available to them which look amazing!
@@mjp_adventures7582. That’s the joy of online comments, never precisely sure of what’s implied😉
I did my compulsory basic training, then my direct access test with an instructor who is an ex-police motorcycle officer. The level of training was superb and I went out on test day with a greater level of knowledge and skill than I needed to pass that day. He was excellent and it’s part of the reason that I have the utmost respect for their skills.
You’re probably right that the Dutch have better facilities than the UK.
@@motosnape Wow, that's awfully nice of them!! UK & Netherlands - my 2 favs - admirer from afar 🇺🇸
it is wonderful to see that a lady who passed through so many paved roads, now getting trained to become better rider. Actually I am inspired by her action "never stop learning"
I learned to ride a bike in 1979 on the UK's RAC/ACU training course. It was all Police Instructors. They were brilliant. We were taught bike handling and how to stay alive. 40 years later, I still put that training into practice.
Money couldn't buy this kind of advertising for the Police! Great of them to welcome you and show you round, and what a great instructor, giving a positive, confident instruction with a huge passion for what he does - well done them!
Wahoo! This series may be about the Dutch moto scene, but it's also a fascinating, in depth look at the Dutch. I love this. The skills you learn from the police training are excellent. Many of us, especially seasoned riders, should be so lucky as to ride in their program. Cheers, cheers Noraly. Oh, and BTW, the Christmas special (lost voice and all) was a really great.
These two episodes at the Academy are brilliant. I'm an experienced road rider and I learned a lot from the comments from the instructors. These gentlemen are fantastic motorcyclists and teachers, and they've done their service proud. Good on them, and good on you Noraly for being a good student.
That had to be a blast! Thanks, Noraly! I would really like to drink a beer with him and listen to his stories. Skills acquired!
In my teens when started riding, Dad was in charge of the Police Academy. I got to learn from the pros on their off-time. I learned both Car and Motorcycle. It was great training for life. I am happy to see you learning from these people that ride the bikes all day.
You have a very beautiful country. Can see the traffic officers love their job.
You are so good Noraly! I had my motorcycle cop training years back and it was awesome too. This episode brings back memories. And very instructional and fun. Your videos should be on Netflix! I haven't watch Netflix since I discovered your video blogs. I'm still binging on season 1 and jumping here and there.
"OFFICER" Itchy Boots, well done. I am an 'old fart' that used to ride a sportster when I was in my 20's. Now, I would be afraid to get on a bike here in the states. Most drivers don't like a bike in traffic and don't know how to behave around them,. Some riders bring it upon themselves. But, I still get the thrill of riding by 'riding' along with you. You show us the joy of riding, and also many locations not many of us would ever be able to see in person. Then , you go and ride with the Dutch police!!! AWESOME. I could tell you were stoked, and it appeared the officers were impressed by you. I watched all your series in order and now restarted and part way thru Patagonia. What a surprise when series 6 popped up. Thank you so muck for what you do1 BE SAFE!!! Remember to keep it between the lines ( when the lines are there) 😂🤣
20 or so years ago I was lucky enough to much the same as this in the UK , I learnt so much from the Police and am still riding at 61 years of age and still love it , Motorcycling has and is like a drug to me I can only go so long with out riding . Ps I used to love my Pan Euros . Happy new year to you
Amazing to watch! Thanks for sharing!
This was so amazing...police ahead and behind...like a vip movement..the bigger bike's instrument panel looked like combo of baby Yoda and another animal I can't remember name of.....so excited for Thursday....🤩🤩🤩
That really is advanced riding. Fantastic. I'd love to spend a day training with those guys.
I'm an advanced rider and blood biker and improvement is always possible.
Absolutely excellent film.
Spend your money on training guys.
Amazing to see the officer was patient so polite with his instructions imaginative to say the least bet you enjoyed every minute keep the vids coming love the channel 🏴
Sjezus, net geüpload en dan meteen al over de 2300 views. Maar, welverdiend Noraly. Jouw bijdragen op YT zijn van zo'n geweldige kwaliteit dat zo'n aantal ook weer niet echt als verrassing komt. Mooie jaarwisseling en goede vooruitzichten voor 2021.
I just love your enthusiasm, its how I felt 40 years ago, the instructor was brilliant calm and concise. I did an advanced riders course in the UK a long time ago and it was very much like this and it gave me confidence and respect for the machine I was riding. Enjoy 2 wheels it cant be beat.
Great Adventurer with various skills, experience and knowledge. 🎉🎉🎉
Good evening Internets, what a lovely channel. Stumbled across the channel when i saw this video as i am a bike instructor in the UK teaching novices to ride so was interested in the techniques and instruction. Then i wondered who this bubbly Dutch woman Itchy Boots who loves riding bikes is. I am now working my way through all Noralys video content starting Series 1 in India. Thank you for posting so much good content and looking forward to getting through it during yet another lockdown when we cant ride
Best thing about Mondays? Noralys giggles. 😊
Might we see a GS in her future?
Don't make THAT mistake !
You never fail at keeping our interest! What an experience that had to be for you! The police escort was so cool and what a great instructor. I can’t believe how well you maneuver on a strange bike...you were born to ride! Learning braking techniques on a curve in the rain on a strange bike...my pants would probably need a change lol. Great video, can’t wait for the next! 🏍🇺🇸
What a lovely teacher, he is wonderful
This was simply satisfying to watch. I have always wanted to do a police riding course. They really do challenge you with a series of maneuvers. Great video!!!!
…as my playlist had arrived at Queen, this video pops up. How very fitting on many levels. ^^)
I find it very considerate and appropriate that the police escorted Noraly like a queen there as well. :oD
What a wonderful learning experience! In this short episode you covered bike handling exercises that I think most riders in the US have never done. We saw you become a better rider in 20 minutes, well done!
Great job. The wet road really adds a stress factor.
You are an incredible ambassador for motorcycling and this series shows your infectious dedication, curiosity and courage for all to enjoy. Thank you!
Simply Fantastic !
My nederlands is improving with these videos, along with your riding. Heel leuk! :)
Fantastic! Great instructor.
Good morning Noraly! Another great installment in the Dutch Moto Scene. Thank you for this series during this era. We’ve all certainly endured a tragic year. Ride safe my friend!
I gave up riding bikes about ten years ago, seeing you doing this training on the police bike has made very envious. riding that bike listening to
André Rieu would make this 70-year old think I'm in heaven.
This is the best way to upgrade skills! Hats off to the professional policemen of Korps Nationale Politie.
Amazing video Ms. Noraly 😎😎
Itchy Boots worked that bike so hard it needed to lie down and have a rest! 🤣🤣
What a privilege it is to have instruction form a real experts, thank you for organising and posting, regards John from sunny Devon UK.
Greetings from Scotland.
When we instructed on this, we taught as the bike sits up, to push forward on the inner bar (counter steering) and the bike will follow the cornering line.
Practising slow riding and braking is what keeps you alive.
as a belgian guy i'm realy liking how down to earth the instructor is.
He has something calming in his tone. Great to see this!
HAD to watch AGAIN! Even better the second time around! AMAZING! KUDOS to you and the Police !!!!! :)
Hi Noraly, a great video, and as you are already an accomplished rider, the skills you learn here, will benefit all riders watching this video, I think you surprised the police with your skills!
Itchy Boots, "The weather is also pretty crap" and you can hear the smile in her voice. Bret Tkacs at the end of his videos it says "ride with a smile, Attitude matters". Miss Noraly takes that to the next level. Thank God for Noraly and her amazing attitude.
Great to see you gaining confidence as the day progressed.
Big thumbs up for the police and your trainer! So nice they doing it with you!
Noraly, you bring me joy when I watch your videos! When the pandemic lets you travel, I recommend you to come to Portugal! We will love to receive you in our beautiful country!
What an awesome experience! Thank you for sharing! 🇺🇸
Every motorcyclist should aspire to ride at this level. What a great and inspirational vid.
Q Bien ... seremos mas expertos con ITCHY BOOTS ...SALUDOS DE CHILE
That was fabulous... your enthusiasm is palpable... really enjoyed and will look for part 2.
Well done Noraly .....👍🏴🇬🇧
You impress me more and more with every video and i'm proud to have promoted your site to as many bikers in the UK as possible! PS: What a cool instructor you had here!!!!!
Noraly is living the DREAM! You kept me engaged for 26:34 minutes, and now we get to enjoy your videos twice a week? Awesome!
Dankjewel Itchy voor deze vlog! Hierdoor heeft Paula, m’n a.s. vrouw, ook eens kunnen zien wat deze politie motor rijopleiding inhoud, die ik i.v.m. m’n werk ook in het verleden gedaan heb!
Maar ook voor jouw is dit een geweldige dag geweest, waar je zeker weten iets van geleerd hebt.
Got to love this lady and congratulations to the Dutch police for letting Noraly join them for the day. Fabulous video!
Love the video. Netherlands Police look very professional and courteous.👍👍👍
