The very best of two worlds, being a total badass and being a protector at the same time. Gotta love MC.

Love the boys in blue, awesome skills... now stop giving me tickets while I’m practicing “speeding”.

I know I am late to the party but watching the hiccups at the end makes me feel better knowing even the best sometimes make mistakes.

Gotta be at least this good before attempting to run, roger that.

These guys are great. Riding one day, I stopped for gas and had a chance to chat with a motor officer at the gas station. Great guy, they ride many, many miles during the riding season and get constant practice and training. His attitude and friendliness will always stick with me.

And here I am worrying about a little figure 8 between parking spaces!

I sure wish I could throw my bike down the way they do, it would definitely reduce some fear. Awesome skills.

Man... so much respect for motorcycle cops. I wish I had those skills. Shout out and Mad Respect for my Orlando P.D. :-) Shout out to MCrider for his amazing channel

I took a course given by the Virginia State Police called "Ride 2 Save Lives" where they taught the basics they learn in MC school. It was fantastic...! I was able to learn a lot of new technics to incorporate into my riding. And it was free.... But, watching the Troopers demonstrate how to perform the perticular exercise was worth going. What these Officers can do with a motorcycle is nothing short of amazing...

God bless our law enforcement officers 👮🇺🇸

How those folks do that with those 900lb Harley's is beyond me, amazing balance!

"Lightly ridden, never dropped"

Very impressive. Those cops can ride

Bodies stay upright, heads always turned, not just eyes, elbows always up and lever for control.

Absolutely beautiful, graceful even. Hats off to these officers and their skill levels. They didn't get that good overnight.

The motor cops who patrol our school zones are a big hit with the kids, and are always kind.

My problem isn't handling the bike, my problem is following the course of those damn cones. If I'm following somebody I never have an issue, but if I'm the leader or I'm solo I get lost, the cones just never make sense to me.

One of the guys that trained me in our state sponsered beginners course was a retire motor officer. What he couldn't do with a motorcycle wasn't worth knowing. He could hold his bike at a dead stop (for as long as he needed), then make an escape maneuver (right or left) to the next lane. Beginners were required to hold the bike for 3 seconds, but no escape on that drill. 3 seconds is a lifetime for a newbie.

love military and pd...you guys are the BEST....appreciate youre getting some respect for once!!!

Часттое явление мото экипаж наезд на пешехода или ребёнка на пешеходной зоне🎉😂❤

Cops are some seriously badass riders.

I've watched a lot of these cop bikers on YT. I would really like to take a course that teaches these skills. I am unaware of any available offerings here in southern Ontario, Canada. I met a moto training officer 2 yrs ago but not come across him again. If I do, I'll ask him for some instructional help, see what he says.

throwing those 800 #+ bikes around like that requires strength, skill and determination plus a lot of practice. I rode motorcross and trials bikes in my younger years, but there is a huge difference between a 200# dirtbike and those fully equipped cruisers. Hats off to these guys. And if anyone thinks this is easy, just get your harley bagger out in an empty parking lot and try it.

AMAZING! What i learned: lead/direct bike with your head, NOT your eyes. Let the metal scrape...trying to preserve your pretty (replaceable) bike will get you permanent scars. Embrace the roll and wobble. Ride like a kid on a $100 Schwinn instead of a scared man on an expensive shiny road princess.

I once got the opportunity to watch mc cops in New York City take down a Hayabusa with a young man riding... Well, let's just say Mc cops 1,young Hayabusa 0😉😁😂😂 it will always be a cherished memory👏👏👏

the bottom of the bikes hit the pavement. does that do anything to them?

Amazing skills,they manouver those harleys as if they were little scooters.

Now that I've watched this video, I feel my motorcycling skills magically improved.

I think the side by side one is the best skills ever

At 1:08 why did they all just throw their bikes like that and raise their hands?

I respect what their doing but, why no gloves? dang I mean err aren't you going to brace yourself with you hand to the concrete. idk

MCrider, check out (ride like a pro Jerry Palladino),he teaches courses similar to these on large bikes like those.Good video and thanks for your knowledge.

And I couldn't even get a single double U-Turn down in my MSF Basic Rider course this weekend. Bravo to these guys.

Those bikes obviously have very limited clearance for leaning. Also, when they are dropped, they don't go down very far. Thus, practicing those maneuvers would be relatively risk free. With bikes that go all the way down when dropped and are easily damaged by being dropped, riders are far more reluctant to practice turning as short as possible at low speeds.

Where's Eric Estrada.................?

Poetry in motion. Skillful riding all-around. 👍 These bikes are not light, but these guys have amazing control over them! * Yes, bad stuff will happen, but still, amazing. I wouldn't want to see one of these men in my rearview mirror! 😅

Thank you very very much for sharing an excellent video with awesome riding skills... Now, need practices :-)

Really, really respectable. But still... It's respectable because the motorbikes are massive. With less massive motorbikes, that track would just be super easy. For instance, a BMW GS1200 can haul at least the same amount of luggage, and is at least as comfortable as a Harley Davidson. But the handling is many, many times better, top speed too, etc. Probably even more comfortable because it doesn't vibrate so much. Really, I have a huge respect for these guys. I can't touch that, especially not on a Harley. But why do they make it so hard for themselves in the first place? :)

I cannot get enough of watching people handle their bikes with such control and precision - I absolutely love it!

Tis a fine show but i would like to see theses same riders do this course on super sport bikes it would be very interesting .

I'm genuinely confused by the "training" these guys go through here. For instance: AT WHAT POINT ARE THESE GUYS GOING TO ACTUALLY RIDE LIKE THIS ON THE ROAD????????????? No really, these guys look like clowns putting on a show. none of this looks anything like how an actual ride is supposed to be. At what point are these guys actually going to dance around cones on their motorcycles???! I'm 39 and not once have i ever seen a motorcycle cop needing to ride like this on the roads.

Its obvious. I DO NOT know how to ride a motorcycle! These fellers are great!

These motorcycles are the worst tool for the job. Overweight, underpowered, not very maneuverable, and unreliable. We're only using them because they're US made. That's it.

Intentionally dropping and potentially harming tax funded police vehicles. How is that right? You’re welcome BTW.

Did not expect the drops, should have known it happens. Thought I saw one officers do a unique pick-up, by pressing down further and using the momentum the stand it up.

Much respect to these officers!!! God bless y’all! So impressed with the skills!

They make it look SO easy, don't they?!! You can see and hear the motorcycles grounding on the turns, yet they look SO relaxed! Love watching cops do this stuff. Also good to see that THEY sometimes get it slightly wrong too though! Gives hope to the rest of us! I was looking for the disclaimer stating that "NO HARLEYS WERE HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS" !!!

Every motorcycle cop I know when they finally got put on a BMW R/T was thrilled to get off those archaic anchors called Harley

Like watching ballet or something. I did something like this for my motorcycle safety course but a lot less crazy

Lol liked the part where the cop throws his bike down

Before I started riding I would watch this and I could tell they were good riders, but now that I know how to ride … Well, these men make me feel like I don’t really deserve to say that I know how to ride.

Just throwing your taxes dollars on the ground...YAAAY!!!!👏👏👏

👁️ Whats the best tips or secret for praticar as curvas no formato 8, PLEASE?

the moment 1:11 - 1:16 when the other officers dropper their bikes on purpose: i really can't decide if it was for entertainment or respect; i just really appreciate how the other riders dropped their bikes when the others did

Very nice..but that is their daily job. I am very good at what I'm doing, so should they.

why do the police ride heavy touring bikes? In my state AL there is a lot of off roading.

I am in India and after going through this video I am want to be an American police when I grow up

Watch at the 1 minute mark. The bike hits ground and just basically sits at that angle.

cool but can they handle a Honda Grom?

Absolutely Incredible 👌🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾❤️

The first part made me laugh a little. But other than that' great motorcycle skills

I wish there would be a training here in Berlin Germany to learn to ride like that

Those are some serious skills. I get dizzy watching them.

Why is all the footage fast forwarded ?

That dude at 1:13 dumping his bike on purpose... LOL

So they just drop Harley's like you do a bicycle???

Robert Pine, Erik Estrada, and Larry Wilcox

And I thought the riding license exams were hard :)

Trynna ride better that these goons try enduro riding way better to learn

Gotta hand it to the fellas - they can really handle those Harleys!

I'd love to go to one of these events in person. Thanks for posting this, it was a lot of fun to watch.

Scraping peg at 4 mph, the skill is unbelievable!

Back the legal blue and dump the corruption

I love they toss their bikes together in solidarity 😂

I could do that in reverse……..lol

Join the Turn in front of a Moto cop for kobe's kid.

The V-Twin ballet. Very nice work.

The engine is literally scratching ground

Every yr. , we have a state m/c skill competition for motor officers, great to attend live. Also have taken( with 2 local HD msf rider coaches instructors) an advance class form 2 local city motor officers that teach. I believe they have the best knowledge of techniques for slow turn maneuvers and on the street riding.

I think it would be easier to learn this if you were in a bike that you are ok with dropping. That’s the biggest hinder for most of us common folk trying to do this on our own bikes. Obviously referring to bikes that big not those 250 ones..

Event coming up in the Dallas area on September 28th, 29th, and 30th. The North Texas Motorcycle Challenge. Best riders in the country will be there , both citizen and motorcop. Saturday is the best day for watching finals and special events like those shown here. Visit www.rideskillfully.com.

Absolutely awesome!

Why they use so big bikes 🙈 this aint 80s

Do they ride with a full tank of fuel ???

Us Motorcop uniform are the best !

It's almost like it's their job....

treating those tax dollars with respect

Awesome slow riding skills by the motor officer near the end of the video. Great technique - full-lock to create, forward resistance, steady throttle, use slight clutch friction zone engagement to correct balance, and slight resr brake actuation to control forward movement and speed. So well-done.

Wow that's amazing skills, but two riders riding together while a strap keep them together it's incredible. If one goes down everyone leaves no man behind, they also go down. Such incredible support, I love motorcycles and obstacle course are my favorite part. Those guys they rock 🤩

The Harley guys say I'm cheating with my supermoto but their bikes don't even fall over. They've got permanent training wheels lol. If I fall, it's a long drop, and my leg might be under it. Their center of gravity is much lower too. I'm not convinced I have an overall advantage.

Hey MCrider, check out a guy by the name of Quinn Redeker of Ventura PD. He wins most of these. The guy's incredible.

I recently talked to a highway patrolman officer who rode at a car show event that they were at he said during training they dropped the bike from 80 to 120 times. And 30% of trainees drop out and don't complete the course

If I practiced more, I could ride like that, on my CFR250L... Nice to see a police riding video where they dump it once in a while, makes it real.

I love watching these guys do their thing. I wish the MC police in Australia held events like this.

Friggin' awesome skills and riding. Really love the guys riding side-by-side. That takes it to a whole other level.

Must be a fun day for them!

First of all, I wonder how much wear they have on the undersides, from all of the scraping. And the tethered ones are pretty crazy.

This is full body coordination. To the left, press right. Vice versa. Head, level and point to the road upfront. A dirt bike is good for the starter on the skills needed, yes?
