Police escort video (London slow speed)

[Stu]

How to be driven in a car through London and not be at any risk of coming to a complete stop at any point.

(Oh best enjoyed with the sound really low :roll:)

What's really funny is when the convoy commander messes up and the convoy comes to a stop. The armed response lads have to deploy around the convoy on foot, weapons drawn.
Our lot got it wrong a while ago going into Liverpool and we had soooo many complaints! Having said that, imagine sitting in your car and suddenly a bloke in full ballistic armour, helmet, goggles etc jumps out of the car behind you with an MP5 drawn!

That slow control video is good. My favourite one is the american police's champion (US police have a national championship) doing something similar on an electraglide. It is really, really good- makes peoples complaints of u turn difficulties seem laughable. :)

Still watching the main vid so will comment on that later. As an aside though, I've already noticed that the naughty policeman has an illegally small 3 line plate, tut tut 3 points and crush his bike! ;)

Those bikes are old, R reg I think? (1997??) so three liners are fine! ;)

WTF was that music about, talk about the most annoying sound track I've ever heard.

That is some seriously classy slow speed riding by the lead solo. Not once does he put his foot down on the whole journey. At some points he's almost stationary. Probably even harder than it looks barring in mind that he's got more than his own riding to concentrate about.

Fair one, I hadn't been able to read the reg and had assumed (and we all know what 'assume' makes, don't we ;)) they were more recent than 2001. I can see in part of the video that they are 'R' reg though. What sort of bikes are they BTW? V. narrow and look ideal for London riding.

Really enjoying the vid, nice seeing how they do it.

Dullvilles I think?

Plus, have a look at this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_1BJ-RgcU1I&mode=related&search=) It's Japanese bike cops and is truly mind blowing!

conjoined bike cops! (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HbrByL9F22s&mode=related&search=)


Never looked at this sort of thing before. I just can't believe stuff like this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ByZ4Z4_fY&mode=related&search=) can be done!
