The motorcycle test in Japan, for bike cops.

Holy smokes.

I just took the DMV test, and doing the circle was actually not instantly easy.

These guys handle these bikes like they are one.

Sorry if it's a repeat, but I'm sure it's a first for someone and they WILL enjoy it.

In all seriousness..that should be the test for your M1. Not just for cops.

That is not their test, it is a competition. Not unlise the competitions we do here in the US and they do elsewhere. If you have never been to Pacific Grove for the Annual Police M/C Competition or Vallejo's Annual M/C Competition, you would be similarly impressed. You would be amazed at what they can do with those big Harley's. :thumbup

The PG event is part of their annual "Good ol' Days" Celebration. They do the police m/c competition on Saturday and the Fire Brigade events on Sunday. They also have a big street faire downtown. The only thing that is hit-and-miss is the weather. It is usually the first Saturday of April. I believe the MMOC and Blue Knights have been past sponsors or supporters. I know the results of the event are recorded as official CA Police Olympics events. It is open to all CA PDs and all makes/models.

As for Vallejo's event, I believe Vallejo PD hosts and I think Vallejo H-D is a sponsor. It is a H-D only event. I beleive it is Mid-September each year.
