[QUOTE="43Duc, post: 949709, member: 28583"] I am a certified instructor for motorcycle police officers. I can tell you for a fact you do not want to use your bike for this. We run ST1300's, BMWs before than and KZ1000s before that. As an instructor a large amount of time for the first few days of training a new motor cop is spent picking up motorcycles. It is amazing what you can put an ST1300 through and have it start every time. It won't look pretty but it will get you home. The skills are taught over a month long period. The first two weeks for our department is in-house training w/ basics to get through the various cone patterns. It's all clutch/throttle control w/ no braking (2 tested patterns use brakes). After the first two weeks, the rider goes through a formal POST certified class. By the end of the 3rd week he/she has to complete all the tested pattens by making 3 clean passes in a row in each pattern without touching a cone, putting a foot down, or riding out of the pattern. They only get 6 attempts for 3 consecutive passes. The final week of training is spent doing more high speed riding involving regular patrol driving and pursuits. Different states have different reqs, but that's how we do it here in SoCal. Here I am on one of our long rides out of town on Route 66 outside San Bernardino (fear not, I was not moving when the photo was not about to pull in front of on-coming traffic): [IMG]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x338/ninjaduc/100_1858.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
