Video. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6178043709180164205&q=motorcycle)

Fuck me, if you were on foot and trying to escape through an alleyway or footpath you wouldn't want these guys chasing you.

[The Pastor]

Damn that looks like fun!

[McJim]

Suppose all this 'Asians can't drive' stuff spouted by kiwis is bullshit then?

[Hitcher]

Should do this at a KB ride day and see how much plastic gets spread across the macadam.

[BarBender]

The Keystone Cops they defintely are not.

[gijoe1313]

Sugoi ne, totemo subarashii ne - taihen pyscho desu! Reminds me of the anime "You're Under Arrest" with Bokuto Police Station legend Ken Nakajima!

Meh, so I'm an anime geek as well - go figger! :innocent:

[Hitcher]

go figger!

You may need to draw me a map and provide detailed step-by-step instructions...

You mean to Bokuto police station? :msn-wink: Or that phat-mad riding course those Cops doing the learn on? I'd probably get carried away and end up drawing Hello Kitty! characters and Keroppi on them! :doh:

Anyhow, saving up for Kaneda's bike from Akira... oh wait... they don't make them... yet!

[gamgee]

what sort of bike is that, it looks like a honda vt250

[SwanTiger]

Absoloute respect.

[beyond]

LOL.

That was a hoot. Betya they practice on that layout over and over again before they are tested and know it inside and out. Darn good riding though.
Should get a bunch of them leading through the Coro loop to keep the tax collectors busy while we have some fun. :)

[Bend-it]

This low speed manoevurability (how the heck to you spell that?!?!) is quite a different skill set from riding fast isn't is? Someone good at this might be shitting his pants doing faster twisties...

Dunno... some more experienced people's views?

[onearmedbandit]

Different skill set yes, but I dear say that these guys have had some high speed training as well. Just having the confidence to throw a bike around like that at slow speed must do wonders for your riding full stop.

[kiwifruit]

awesome skills!

[outlawtorn]

thats just friggin amazing :gob:

Wonder if our cops could do the same......:whistle:

[Insanity_rules]

Well I guess to be able to move round on their jamed roads you gotta ride like that? Way cool.

[sAsLEX]

There has been a similar vid posted of a guy on a NC30 or 29 doing something similar before, amazing bike control!

[ManDownUnder]

I worked out why NZ cops could never be that good...

1) Not enough funding for decent bikes...
2) Resource consent would be needed for the practice grounds, and emissions from the vehicles involved
3) OSH would never let them takes risks like that, maximum 30kph to be observed at all times, and bystanders must be behind safety glass capable of withstanding 1.5x the force of the maximum predicatble impact from a the heaviest vehicle to ever use the track, fully laden under the most severely adverse conditions

[Brian d marge]

Meeehhh iultra sticky qualifying tyres.....


the only bike cop I see is always sitting by the gas station on the 254 to Kawagoe , Ive seen him move once in 7 years

Should do this at a KB ride day

I'd be keen.


and see how much plastic gets spread across the macadam.

... starting slowly, of course.

Presumably the bucket racing and other events that need closed venues are organised by more formal clubs, though; I guess that'd be needed for this too.

[robertydog]

i wonder if someone would lend me a bike to have a go at that. i promise not to damage it. lol

[kro]

I dare them to do that on a West Auckland round about, they have more diesel on them than a boy racers front tyres.
