- Come along with me as I ride my 2015 BMW R1200RTP Police Motorcycle at a law enforcment track in Salem, OR. We focus on slow speed cone drills, braking from 40, 60 and 80 mph, traffic stop collision avoidance and proper spacing, as well as cornering lines and braking in turns.

Hi.. retired UK police officer here...Great slow speed skills on such a big heavy bike, especially as you were commentating all the way through. We can only dream of having such outstanding training facilities here in uk policing . Very enjoyable to watch. 👍🏽👍🏽 Thank you. (p.s. Subscribed)
Thank you very much for the comment and subscribe! I appreciate it greatly! We are definitely blessed to have fantastic training areas and some excellent instructors who teach us. Enjoy your retirement! I’m a ways off still... haha!
it's a parking lot, if you get this going in the uk you would have a great following,
100%. The fact that you are narrating through it is phenomenal. Well done. Respect. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for watching! It's been a lot of fun showing some of this training. Lots of practive to get there for sure. Appreciate your compliment.
I’m a cop in my cruiser right now. I’m looking to buy a 2012 R1200RT after my R Nine T got rear ended and totaled at a stop light on the way to EV Room training. Bike was totaled ($9,500 - all cosmetic damage…)I was fine. ATGATT!!!
What I’m jealous about is that you don’t have to transport annoying prisoners! 😉👍 Stay safe brother!! (SUBBED w/ full alerts)
Very impressive. I wouldn’t even be able to see which way to go through all those cones.
👆🏻
I was lost 😂
Makes me realize how much advantage there is to being solid with control
When I first got a dirtbike, my dad loved to push me through tight trails a woods riding, doing all these same techniques to avoid trees and rocks. It was only when I got older and started riding street bikes that I realized what a solid foundation it creates.
You practice or lose it! Well done all! 21 years on motors in Ontario 🇨🇦 and 18 years on our Demo Team. Practice to get better!
Practice is so important! Thank you for your service up in Canada! That’s awesome you got to be on motors 21 years! That’s a long run. Thank you for watching!
WOW that is impressive,, I wish every one had a chance to train like that ,,, especially ME!
I totally agree with you, would be great if this was standard on lessons
I've always had the highest amount of respect for motorcycle officers! The skills and control level amaze me. Law enforcement is already a difficult job but on a bike it has to take it up several notches! Stay safe and thank for all you do.
Thank you very much and thank you for watching! Best job at the department getting to ride a bike!
Yeah they're not great of motorcycle riders. Outrun them on lesser bikes many a time. And it's not just me, many motorcyclists are better than them, just like many shooters are better them if you go visit them at a gun range you'll see. Many carry weapons, ride bikes, etc. Not because they're good at it but their job requires them to.
@@sean_daly such a crock, but thanks for telling us what a hero you are.
@@sean_daly see if you can pass motor school bro. you think you "outrun" me? nah, i just laugh as you haul ass away from me and hope you TC. then it wasn't a pursuit because i didn't chase you, no pursuit paperwork :)
Can't believe I am saying this but seeing your guys riding skills on these big BMWs is impressive! Keep the videos coming officer!
Thank you! Hopefully will have another one soon!
Harley Davidsons are to big and clumsy to be police bikes.... really! Watch this cop!
th-cam.com/video/sBngfmXsihc/w-d-xo.html
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp did I say that? Plenty of amazing police riders on Harleys.
@@Mclovingarage Nope you didn't. Sorry my man. Just a little sensitive to all the commenters on TH-cam sites who knock HD cop bikes. Take care.
I highly respect our law enforcement officers that routinely have to go into unknown and potentially life-threatening situations almost daily.. It's interesting to see this training.. Impressive! Thank you for dealing with the "entitled" maniacs out there..
Dude this is so cool to see. Amazing machine control. Thanks for sharing your training day with us. Stay safe
You’re welcome! It was fun to record and edit. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Just became interested in bikes on my 60th birthday a couple of months ago. Your skill is phenomenal! If I can just keep the bike up, I'll be happy. Lol. Thanks for showing what these machines can do.
Just wanted to say, Thanks for being a police officer....... Its not a easy job...
Thank you! No it is not. Getting more difficult by the day.
awesome... I like your comment "Always practicing'... as a rider I know how important it is to be always practicing... stay safe...
Practice is a huge part of being a competent rider. I know I certainly feel it when I don’t train. Thank you for watching!
Great run, I was lucky enough to run aRoad King motor for 7 years. Best part of my career.
Motors is the best gig in law enforcement!
I feel awful after watching this and realizing how hard the regular uturn was for me in the MSF course lol!!! Crazy skills to get through what you’re doing there!!
1- Thank you for your service!
2- Fantastic skills, very impressive and inspirational.
3- Best thing I've watched on my tv in the last year.
Thank you very much for watching! I’m happy you enjoyed it. Means a lot!
I love this. Thank you for posting this officer - no matter what we appreciate all that you are doing. We know it's a tough job.
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and the kind comment!
TRUE THAT.
One.
You guys are awesome! How I wish I can have at least 50% of your motorcycle handling skills.
I was impressed at how much respect you afforded your instructors. I've been riding on and off for 40+ years and I'm still learning each time I'm out on the asphalt. It would be nice if you were to narrate in more detail as you are riding your training pattern. Also, If you would also express what you're thinking if your not in an ideal alignment for a particular maneuver. Thanks.
Good stuff! As a Motorcycle Riding Instructor i learned something from this video too! American way of mc training for police riders 👍👍
Happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
I just got my 2012 rt a month ago and I know that full lock slow speed turns require great skills!
Awesome! Thanks for recording and sharing that experience. Big props to your buddy for pushing that Concours around the cone course; I'm sure he loved the track portion. I don't think I'd try it on my 2009 C14. Hopefully I can get my 2003 R1150RTP in decent shape this spring and I am hoping to participate in some of the local moto-rodeos. I'm federal LEO, but not in a motor unit, so I am limited to the ones that are open to civilians. I am eager to see how well I can get my R1150RTP through one of those courses. Subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos. Stay safe, brother!
Thank you very much for watching! The Concourse is a big pig in the cones. I’m always impressed when guys can hustle them through the cones. They are rockets on the track though. Have fun with that 1150!
Thanks for the entertaining vid of what Bike Officers go through in training! Great riding skills to say the least. TWO THUMBS UP! Thank you all for your service!
The unpredictability of the 'criminal element' in that car stop was unnerving for me! That would have been too close for me in the real deal, but then again, I'm one of those that goes the other direction! Thanks for your service!!!!
To answer your question, it all looks cool! Maybe this would be an excessive expectation, but I think we should all be able to ride like that before we are allowed on the street. Very, very impressive! Thank you so much for the upload.
Very useful and important video, thanks for taking the effort and sharing.
Regarding the slow cone work, if you ever get a chance to do something similar again, it would be really useful to see a video of the rider as they carry out the drills just to see their head and body movements.
Thanks again, appreciate it!!
You are a great rider.
I have learned that oncoming traffic will cut across the apex so I make turns so I am nearest the shoulder at the apex.
Still thankful I am alive watching that old man cutting into my lane didn't catch my left jug. There wasn't 1 millimeter of room as I looked down at his car passing me.
Thank you for the kind compliment. I appreciate it!
I am ZX14R Kawasaki rider, , you guys are Just Great. Good to witness the fantastic skills you Bigmen have. Great Video.
as a rider, this is exactly why i always respect motorcycle cops,.. fleeing suspect think its about speed, nope, its about agility, and you guys have the agility. Ride safe, and go get'em CHIPS
It’s not every day you score a front row seat to a 2 wheeled ballet meets yoga show…. The skill set throwing/placing a lazy 300 plus kgs of machine into such tight spots was most impressive and massive kudos your way fella. Stumbled across the page and enjoyed it so much have liked and subscribed for more content. Awsum stuff… Go well, stay upright and be safe mate…
McLovin Moto thank you for the videos and training you make it look so easy it's more fun than work . Keep these videos coming . Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
This is amazing! I love watching the police training videos, but I've never seen it from the rider's point of view. Awesome!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
That was fun to watch. I'm very impressed with the ease of these very technical skills. I have a lot more respect for motorcycle cops now.
Thank you for watching! It takes a lot of practice.
Man that looks like fun!! Don’t you just love being able to show up and practice and the cones are already set up and waiting for you?
Thanks for sharing this brother. Be safe out there and thank you for your service.
Thank you very much! It’s a blast!
I,m a Police motorcyclist from the UK, I also ride a BMW 1200RT, i envy your slow speed handling training and skills my friend, i wish we had such a facility in the U.K., and such training was part of our curriculum.
Hey Mark, thank you for watching! We are definitely blessed to train in an awesome facility. Most of our training is slow speed cone work. It’s probably my favorite part of training. Stay safe over there and appreciate your comments.
Mark, do they not do the slow speed cone stuff here in the UK for Job bike courses? I assumed it would form part of the bike course
@@manwithnoname6580 unfortunately not, we did workaround 5 days on endure bikes in a field learning bike handling but the rest of the training is all high speed stuff on the road.
@@markneal1175 interesting..I’d have thought slow speed handling would’ve been part and parcel of the course. I remember watching Job bike courses out on the driving school roads within the Hendon complex ( now demolished ) back in the 80’s and 90’s where they did slow speed stuff with cones, slaloms, etc . I’d have thought those skills would be imperative for inner city police work . Hey ho 🤷♂️
Cool video. The cupholder at 10:19 made me laugh because it seems so American to me
LOL, I totally missed that! I'm pretty certain that's not an actual "cup holder" though, it's a LIDAR speed gun holster.
I recently rode the new R1250RT, how you guys throw these around is something else. Love it.
The new 1250RT is pretty impressive. The updates for 2021 look pretty awesome too! Thanks for watching!
I have watched NZ police do a similar ride through cones and I find it remarkable to see the accuracy combined with speed on large and relatively heavy bikes. I know that the NZ officers are happy with a move away from the BMW and Honda's that they have been riding in recent years with a switch to the Yamaha MT-09.
You’re riding is incredible. I wish I could ride like that. The slow stuff blows me away. That’s were the ok riders become good riders and throwing the pick out at 80 mph without triggering the abs is really classy stuff. I wish I could get the training you guys have.
Thank you very much! It was a great day of training. Sharpening skills and doing things we don’t often do is a total blast! Thank you for watching and the comment. It’s appreciated.
I love the narration on what you're doing.. Very professional and great rider. And cool to get an inside look at Police Training.. 🇱🇷👮🚔👍
Retired Deputy Sheriff, rode for 6 years until forced retirement. We rode Harley Davidsons because our Sheriff liked them but didn't have to ride them. I miss riding motors and doing enforcement on one. I bought a used BMW RT 1200 but, having never trained on one, wasn't confident about it. So I bought a Harley, in 2019 and I regret selling the BMW. I am having back surgery to fuse my spine; the doctor assures me I can still ride. Be safe out there in that crazy part of the country. God Bless all of you.
Thank you for reaching out! Awesome you got to be on the bike 6 years! It’s the best job in LE in my opinion! Heal up well and get back on that bike! :)
Impressive skills! Thank you for sharing this, and I appreciate your positive attitude.
Thank you for watching! I love riding motorcycles so it makes it easy to be positive!
That was great, looks like a hard day, but also fun, so many aspects of riding covered.
That was a great video, officer McLovin (cool name too! For real? ) ! I admire your calmness. I am a pediatrician who rides for fun since I was young. I appreciate your and all other officers’ commitment to service! Wish you fun and great health!
Love it. I went through the CA CHP Motor Academy back in 1988 and continued as a Motor Officer and motor training officer until I made Sergeant in ‘96 (Santa Ana Police Department). In 2003 I came back to traffic as a Commander. I retired as a Homicide/Gang Homicide Commander and Assistant SWAT Team Commander in 2012. Riding a motor was by far my favorite assignment.
I agree. The best job in the department hands down.
As a brand new rider (10 months) I found this video to be incredibly helpful. Can't wait till I can corner like that 🙂🏍
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you found value in it. Welcome to the awesome world of riding motorcycles! Sounds like you’re enjoying it already! Keep on learning and practicing. Ride safe!
Police motorcycle skills motivate me to be a better rider. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! I’m happy you found it useful!
Much respect for your skills and dedication to constantly improve.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out my video!
Noraly, you are one gutsy adventurer! And one fine cinematographer. Those drone shots in the desert, combined with the perfect music, were some of your best work yet. And chalk up another place in the world we get to see through your eyes, that we never would have otherwise.
Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate it.
This is so damn cool. Im signing up for every skill training i can afford this summer. I would really love to train like a motor officer. That is skills. Thanks again. Ill keep watching and riding.
I loved it man! Great insight into what you guys go through. Big BMW rider myself.... Respect Brother!
Thank you!
Great video, especially your attitude through the whole routine. Very enjoyable, thank you for all you do.
Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it! I’m a pretty happy fella generally. And riding bikes is my happy place.
Very impressive bike control.What a nice polite happy policeman.Great.
I am impressed with the bike and your skill level. I have ridden an BMW only once. The driveshaft made the feel so different. The back of the bike would rise up instead of going down. And they are so quiet. No vibration to speak of. Smooth. Well made motorcycle. STAY SAFE! This track seems very nice. A safe place to practice and learn. I did enjoy it. THANKS....
WOW! You have some skills Officer! Thank you for your service and stay safe out there!
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it!
This was really cool! It made me want to go out and by a motorcycle! Thank you for your service and be safe Sir!!!
Awesome! - thanks so much for sharing - particularly the low speed in the cones, it was real treat getting that first person perspective. I wish I could have a go there.
Nice video! Excellent ride through the cones. I can tell you’re a cop because you stay in your lane even on the track. You’ll carry a lot more speed through the corners if you use the whole track.
Thank you! We were actually told to maintain lane discipline to keep things more real world and less track focus. We like to train how we would do it on the street and don’t want to develop race habits for street use.
superb slow riding skills on such a big bike, well done fella.
Thank you-that was really interesting especially to a non biker such as myself. How you managed the initial obstacle course was impressive to say the least. These videos increase the respect the general public have for the skills and abilities of traffic officers. Good that the powers that be approve of you making these blogs. They do wonders for the image of the department.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and your comments. It was fun to make.
Training is vitally important, and it is good to know you do a lot of it. This was an interesting video, and I liked it. Nice job & thank you!
Thank you! We train a lot and it certainly makes a difference in confidence and continuing to build our skills.
Very cool 😎. I’m impressed as to how nimble that big BMW is in the tight course.
It's not the bike, it's the rider
Wow. I wanna learn that on my goldwing 1800. Nice to see The skills from a motorcycle cop. Thanks. Greetz from The Netherlands 👍🏍
Just found this....awesome! Leaning into each curve with you. Makes me want to ride too. Good job. Stay safe.
Thoroughly enjoyed! My mission is to buy a used RT and work on my slow speed skills, thanks for the inspiration!....
Like how you touched the rev limiter at about 80er mph there ha. New sub, nice riding through those crazy cones. Riding a 1200GS myself.
Brilliant riding skills, always admired how you cops keep it so smooth.
Thank you! Appreciate it very much!
You make it look easy that is a sign of smooth expert learned a lot watching thank you
Iam in Argentina..just enjoy your performance with an engine...It is an art and at the same time an ilustration hou our brains work guiding and anticipated any obstacule. RESUME THE LIFE. tk...for you dedication and enormous example for every one who love to ride..
This is my first adventure with you. I enjoyed the ride along I enjoyed the commentary the way you talk to us through the turns on the course that you guys do. Motor officer training is something I always wanted to do not necessarily to be a motor officer but the training looks like it would be so good for everybody. I have subscribe to your channel and I am looking forward to seeing more videos thanks for taking us a long. Scraping a foot peg on a 1200 RT (or your foot) means you’re really got a good lean angle going. The 1250 RT is even a better ride. Good for 140+. Don’t ask how I know that Thanks again.
Found you through dork. Didn't know you were a superhero 💯 Thanks for keeping us safe!
Thank you for stopping by! Appreciate you watching!
Really awesome riding skills! Makes me want to work on mine.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking it out. It’s a fun gig!
Awesome! I don’t ride bikes anymore because of a serious crash when I was just turning 18 but I can still remember the unique feeling, the adrenaline and everything else that only a motorbike can offer. Loved to watch your ride though, very cool!
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it!
I’m a sport bike guy and this video now makes me want your bikes (not because I want to pull anyone over or anything lol)
Jokes aside; very impressive riding and it’s a mantra that anyone on two wheels should adopt: “always training”. There’s always something to learn, regardless of what bike you ride
Thank you for watching and for the compliment. Training is so important in any discipline we want to be good at. It can make or break how good we are at things.
Terrific video ! Feels like we are on bike with you . You have great skills , and you accept advice kindly and openly ! Great job . I ENJOYED ! 👍😁
Thank you very much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

As a civilian rider all I can say is, “wow”! Very impressive!
Holy smokes! I live in south Salem and have ridden my '18 RT past there on the Aumsville Highway hundreds of times. I never knew a track was there. I'm envious of your training and skills. My next training is in July up at Pat's Acres. Thanks for sharing your great video. Stay safe!
Have fun at Pats Acres! That’s a fun track. I’ve ridden it a few times with Team Oregon. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the experience! -from Lake Patrol
Great vid! Super unique content. You can really ride the hell out of that thing. Impressive.
Dork in the Road thank you. Funny part is I’m not even close to the top as far as rider skill and ability in my peer group at work. So many riders that are better/faster/more skilled than me in my profession. Lots of practice, lots of training, and I’m still having fun so that’s what matters at the end of the day. I don’t have to be the best to find enjoyment in it.
Thank you Dork for leading us to Mclovin. This fantastic video definitely inspired me to keep on with the skills drills. I'm comfortable handling my bike but this shows how much room for growth I have!
McLovin, you make it look so easy!! Nice job Officer.
Thanks brother! Appreciate it!
Found you by mistake n glad I did... Doing research on bmw police bikes.. Since I came across 2.. 03 n 06 both wsp... However love the bikes but extremely powerfull.. Seen your videos and preciated your service... I live right next door mcminnville again tnx for your service
Thank you for watching! They are very good bikes. I don’t have much negative to say. If you can do your own maintenance they aren’t too expensive to own. We have 2015’s now and before that had 2009’s. That boxer motor is a tractor but it does well.
Truly awesome video. Your handling skills are superb...found myself actually getting a little dizzy as you manipulated those tight turns through the cones lol. Thanks officer for sharing your bike handling l skills and a big thumbs up and appreciation to ALL you officers for your outstanding service. God bless you all and keep safe.
Thank you very much! Truly appreciate you watching and commenting. Happy to do it.
I am surprised to see so few views for such a great video. Excellent work, both riding and filming. Thank you for the insight into slow speed control, the more input from you eith regard to speed, clutch control, body position etc the better.
Thank you for watching and for the compliment. It was fun to ride that day and I enjoyed editing it for others to enjoy.
Good to see you young guys need help standing one of these bikes up. I am 72, have 80,000miles on a 2014 RT and I was worried I was getting weak. Cool video!
I started riding this past year, my first bike. This was really cool to watch. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe, A.L.E.A. Class 294
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it! You stay safe also! It’s the best job in the department, bar none!
THIS WAS SOOOOO AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time to post this.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching it!
PPB has a great motor training staff and that track is a blast to train on.
Yes they do! PPB does a great job with training. The DPSST track is a blast. Wish we got to use it more.
Training was very good and you are very good handling your big bike, i will give you a big big thumbs up. Keep it up.
I am a former LEO (never a motor) but have a 2006 R1200RT and now a 2019 R1250RT... Enjoyed the video, particularly the “as you saw it” perspective... Stay safe out there brother... #backtheblue
Thank you very much! The RT’s are great machines. BMW did a nice job with them.
Dang McLovin!! Nice moves! Almost like you’ve done that before…😂👍🏼
Impressive skills! Thank you for your service and commitment to professionalism.
Thank you!
I just like watching you guys then go through the cones it's kind of fun to see how you can make those bikes work
Thank you! Appreciate you watching.
Seemed fluid and relaxed.
Nice skills very cool my friends laugh at me cause I'm always doing things of that nature in parking lots and drive ways while I wait for others and it truly pays off in the end. Thank u for the vid 💓
Excellent facility wish we had that in Northern Ireland for my advanced motorycle I A M group.Great control as you say use your head ride safe guys
Thank you for watching! I have family in Ireland. County Leitrim. I got to visit about 7 years ago. Can’t wait to come back!
what I like is the ability of the training centers to keep conducting training. '92 I completed the advanced riders course and here we are in 2021 I will take the beginners course and up---times change; fundamentals may stay the same but ones approach or mere perception based on previous training can become an impediment to staying "current"
not a motors person just a huge fan (the near chips soundtrack intro nice lol)
Also liking the way you motors units ride in pairs or close proximity like 'wingwo/man'
great video!
Thank you got watching!
I like all of the variations in those cone patterns. I am a motor officer down in the SF Bay area, and we don't train with that amount of patterns. The most valuable training I would say we get is during the practice day(s) prior to motor competitions (before Covid...). Good video! Stay safe!!
Thank you Adam! Appreciate you checking out my video. We do a lot of cone work here. Once a month training plus a 3 day training/competition every year. We get less of the high speed training that’s in the second half of this video. It was a great day though. Hope I can get some more training like this next summer. Stay Safe down there in Cali!
I think that you did a great job navigating the course!!! BRAVO. Too bad for your com-padre!!
Thank you very much! Appreciate you watching!
Appreciate your service and wish you a safe career!
Thank you Mike! Thank you for watching!
