I didn't watch all of it, but about 7 minutes of it and I don't really know what to say. Those guys have some really good control. I got confused just looking at the cones after they were set up LOL

Good find

lol ya there good at low speed manuevers , now lets see them in high speed tight twisties in hot pursut on the *** of a good sportbiker rider, lol all that schooling means nothing , it would just hurt there igos when they are lost in about 8 seconds. ive never been in a cop chase at 5 miles an hour through pilons before but it does look fun.. good job boys in blue keep the good work and efforts up

Man, that's nuts. Those bikes have a much lower cg, but they also way a ton more too.

But seriously, how bad would it suck to be the guy that had to set up all those cones?

I see what you're saying on the high speed chase, but if you ever watch COPS, the idiots on sportbikes always get taken out because they can't maneuver slow, tight turns. The cops catch up to them and bump them over or they drop the bike. I have a buddy that has a Road King.... very heavy and the only way it will see triple digits is if you drop it from a plane. His words, not mine.

Remarkable riding. I have taken the three safety classes from the "Team Oregon" program in this state. They are all taught mostly by police. They are not anywhere near as hard as wheat the cops have to do. They said that they love chasing sport bikes as most riders have poor skills and it is satisfying for them to be riding a cow and still catch them. Although most chases they say end up in the sport bike crashing.

I wonder how well they would do on the track?
I wonder how well stunt riders would do on that obstacle course?
Does riding that slow and controlled really help you at riding fast?

That was crazy slow or not that takes skill! The first guy was standing on his seat running through the cones! I agree setting up those cones would suck but I would hate to be the one cleaning those bike after those mud runs!!
