Police riding techniques

thats a really cool video....I think it reminds us how much we can always use more practice and learn more about our bikes thanx for sharing
 
Took the course a year ago, and it was great. Lots of tips and demonstrations and enough one on one help to make it worth while. I have the DVD and watch it and practice when I can, in a deserted parking lot.

They do not have the course in Nj this time. Do you think the video can help learn the technique?

Practice as part of your post winter bike hibernation is really smart. Our riding techniques get little "rusty" after a few months. Give it a try, you will be amazed how much more easy it is to "gas up" in a crowded station where impatient cagers compete for that pump station that may have slippery or crowned surface making slow speed skillful maneuvers with the rear brake and careful throttle/friction zone clutch work more necessary, rather than "paddle walking" that 800+ ladened bike. :s

Nice observation. Power walking has its place but experienced riders can usually maneuver with skill and both feet on the pegs in those tricky situations. That's my goal as a rider. Still a ways to go.

Here's a link to the RLAP website NJ classes: RLAP-NJ I have the video and it is very good, but there's no substitute for hands on training. They also do some HOG rallys and other events, I just missed the Conn rally signup, darn it.
 
A friend took it twice. Raved about it.

They expect you to drop the bike so precautions are needed in the form of crash bar guards they sell cheaply.
 
Another rider I know said he took it while in the states (We're both here in Germany now). I forget how much he said it cost him, but I'll double-check.
I personally bought the video (RLP) and another one on The Dragon/Deal's Gap. Pretty good stuff. When you practice it, it really works. Been riding almost 30yrs but I'm always looking to control the bike on a higher level each season. Haven't started scraping my floorboards up yet but I do have some cones and pipe insulation at the ready.
