    Your answer is to point to a post that asks if it's in a police handbook, I guess you've never had to deal with the police, they usually don't know shit about anything.

    Although the police motorcycle gymkhana tests/comps are very impressive both in America and Japan I have to concede some do know how to handle a bike extremely well at low speed

    Go sit at the back of the class with the retards.

    I'm asking Graywolf what the Police Handbook (that he calls the "definitive book on motorcycling") says about 'The Zone'.

    I certainly hope you are not serious about that. Any motorcyclist who regularly rides to the limit of their skill is asking for trouble.

    I often feel like I am just flowing along and its a brilliant feeling. But the challenge is only around 50% (or less) of my skill. I like to keep heaps in reserve.

    gee whizz, so much opinion, thought and argument being put into how people should ride. Just get on it and go!
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Jantar, go read the theory and get back to me?? REPEAT< REPEAT< REPEAT it isnt about going to the MAX, FLAT OUT, 200 fkn kph an hour... it's a 'balance'... as I posted in ????? you could ride a Royal Enfield 500 bullet over the Taka's and achieve 'FLOW' the 'total package' of skills required to ride a motorcycle need to be used, road placement, gear selection, lean angle, spatial awareness, roadcraft, environmental awareness (other vehicles) .....

    Not familiar with their training (unless you wondering how I know about the gymkhana thing, look up there are some impressive vids on YouTube). But I have had experience of the attitudes of police and other than a couple of rare good encounters, cops seem to be small minded and often oblivious to what is actually going on. I'm one extreme case I saw a cop relentlessly hassle my friend and then blatantly lie in court.

    And I'm supposed to trust the guys that teach these guys, don't think so.

    If the challenge is EQUAL to the skills of the participant, then you are advocating that the rider ride to maximum of their ability. It is only when the skills of the rider exceed the challenge that they are riding safely. The rider must always keep something in reserve.

    I'm still really wanting to know what the Police Riders Handbook to Better Motorcycling (the definitive book on motorcycling according to Graywolf) says about 'The Zone'.
