  • 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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      @@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 🤷‍♂️

    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.

Have installed the strobe light fixture at mirrors without blue lights but use the amber ones. I am part of the Think Bike Marshalls and our training is relatively similiar to what you did but without the high speed and traffic stops. We mostly escort cyclists and runners, keeping them safe from other road users. Anyway, thanks for the very intertaining video, looking forward to more.

    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.
