[QUOTE="James Burleigh, post: 1229533, member: 4162"] This Saturday is the first of many Western Region / Northern Calif. police moto competitions: [URL="https://www.facebook.com/fairfieldmotorcomp?fref=ts"]FAIRFIELD POLICE MOTOR TRAINING COMPETITION[/URL] I plan to shoot up there, probably by late morning, to watch these police officers display the amazing maneuvering skills they have worked so hard to master and that are an inspiration to me.

Anyway, based on previous competitions I've attended, I now practice slow-speed maneuvers every time I get on the bike (haven't dropped it yet, but that's because I'm taking it real...well...slow [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG]--I didn't say I haven't dropped the bike, I just havent dropped it (yet) practicing tight u-turns [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png[/IMG] ).
