How Motorcycle Cops Stay Alive04:33

No other vehicle quite matches the adventure, engagement, economy, and freedom of a good motorcycle. If you approach riding smartly with proper skill and gear, it can be done year after year with high levels of safety. That’s what this video is all about. Using the a Moto Safety Course by Alameda County Sheriff Dept I attended as a foundation, I discuss key essentials of riding skill. I address Evaluating Traction, Visibility, Planning, Braking, and Maneuvering using both the course instruction and my own decades of riding experience. Lots of different motorcycles and clip footage shown and these retired motorcycle officers know how to ride; they survived 30+ years on their duty bikes. Video interspersed with real life lessons that might grab your attention and provide teaching moments. Watch what happens as a herd of deer steps out in front of me on a KTM 500 EXC while doing 70 mph. There will always be risk you can’t foresee; sometimes it just finds you. But practicing the concepts discussed here will go a long way in keeping you alive and smiling as you continue to adventure safely on your favorite motorcycles.//////////////Tell them Nuntnfancy Sent You:
