I mean that looks fun but difficult at the same time! Third one i think it is looks the slowest and even then its quick!

I've seen a similar thing (albeit much slower) of American cops on dirty great electraglides. I've not, however, seen this sort of fast "slow speed manouevers" before though. V. impressive; vastly moreso than some clown winding a litre bike deep into 3 figures on a motorway.

If there was somewhere in the UK where they teach this sort of riding, I'd sign up like a shot.

Its called riding in London i bet :rolleyes:

I havn't picked up on anything like it though :confused: perhaps I need to hang out with the soho lot a bit more :king:

Seen a couple of these Jap cop vids, they are mightily impressive and i would love to learn to ride even half as good as that.

I saw the american version which was really amazing too. That one was great, makes me want to practice....

When I was getting ready for my test I was quite nervous about the U turn and such, so went round in fig 8's in the uni car park, trying it as slow as I could and trying to get it down to the pegs, good fun when you get the hang of it (not tried it on the SV yet though hehe)
Those guys look brilliant.

We do a cone test but nothing like that we do it at 5 miles an hour and dont use the pegs to turn the bike!!

Pah, looks like my normal commute into town tbh, dodging potholes...swerving over slick manhole covers, dodging stupid pedestrians or cyclists. Its exactly the same. Nearly lol.

[yorkie_chris]

If you're having to dodge pedestrians then your bike ain't loud enough!

On occasion I'll give mine a proper thrashing off the lights in town and stuff just to see the lemmings dive for cover :smt077

Pah. Not a kneedown in site. Amateurs.

Oh hell yeh, thats always a bit of fun in London too. Its just that so many peds here are either on their phone and oblivious to the world around them or they have their ipods/mp3s in their ears and just look at the floor in front of them as they walk.
Morons.

Very nice. Makes the Americans look crap. Anyone got a vid of our coppers?

Yup we do, last week where I was training is also the same place as the driving school, any way while taking the exam I spent probally more time watchin the bike cops training than answering the questions! Had a good view from where I was! Only 2-3 years to go I hope before I can get my bike and car response licences.

Strange- my dad sent me a few clips of Japanese cops throwing VFR750s around and now there's some more cops on here too!
Bloody mental. How much time do they spend being able to do that..

[yorkie_chris]

How much time do they spend being able to do that..

A lot.

HTH :p

[northwind]

I can't remember what it's called, apparently it's quite popular in japan, sort of the equivalent of our trackdays... The car guys do drifting, the bike guys do demented crash-bar scraping loop-the-loops. I reckon I could get round that course, in no more than 9 or 10 times as long as it takes them :mrgreen:
