Title: OC Traffic Officers Moto Rodeo Post by: triangleforge on November 17, 2009, 07:05:00 AM This looks hard on those big bikes, but a lot of fun!
OCTOA - Orange County Traffic Officers Association Annual Motor Rodeo 2009 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2APKEnCLElU#normal) Title: Re: OC Traffic Officers Moto Rodeo Post by: Slide Panda on November 17, 2009, 08:11:40 AM It is *impressive* to see these guys in action. I'd never seen a follow the leader game like that - just the timed gymkhana courses. That one guy who was leading and would bring the bike to a halt and hold it had some 'dirty' tricks for this game.

Title: Re: OC Traffic Officers Moto Rodeo Post by: DucofWestwood on November 17, 2009, 10:11:21 AM amazing what those guys can do. it's like their bikes are simply an extension of their bodies!

Look for one of the time trial ones where the riders on pretty small bikes - amazing.

Title: Re: OC Traffic Officers Moto Rodeo Post by: 1KDS on November 17, 2009, 02:23:22 PM The moto cops here just have harley classics, they would scrape peg way before doing a lot of these maneuvers. You can get 'em to wave at you once in a while though [moto]

It's possible. Around here I've seen moto officers from a couple depts practicing this sort of things in parking lots. If you ever happen to be in DC for national police week, they hold that national championships then. So the best from depts all over the country are competing... the 5x around an 8' circle, exit and come to a full foot-up stop obstacle got a few guys one year. But man was it neat to see them go at it.Title: Re: OC Traffic Officers Moto Rodeo Post by: Grampa on November 18, 2009, 04:38:29 AM they need live obstacles [laugh]
