Motor Officer Academy

Some Food For Thought.

Most motorcyclists have never spent much time learning precision riding. Why? Its simple most riders depend on having plenty of “space” around them as they travel along. They ride in a staggered formation when in a group thereby secure in the knowledge that they have the whole lane if they need to swerve…or if their attention wanders and they “drift” a bit.

The police many times don’t have the luxury of that extra space. They have to hold very tight “lines” as they maneuver through traffic to get to the scene of an accident or they have to “thread” their way through debris as they near the accident. Regardless of the reason police officers need to be secure in their ability to ride their motorcycles through very narrow spaces. This is one of the many skills that we work with in our class.

Let’s face it - Everyone admires the way the cops ride their bikes. The confidence they exude as they ride in tight "side by side" formation, and the uncanny abilities they have for close quarters manuevering. What's more - they have the best safety record of any class of motorcyclist.

So ask yourself - Would you like to be able ride like a "Motor Officer"? Would you like to have the same level of confidence? Would you like to be a safer rider?

If you answered yes to any of those questions then please consider joining us for The BMW Motor Officer’s Academy program.

This program will follow a curriculum identical to what the Los Angeles police department uses- We are pleased to offer - official "police motor training for civilians"

The Curriculum: Most riders don’t really understand the concept of how to properly use the clutch, throttle and brakes “together in concert” to provide stability for the maneuvering of a motorcycle in tight conditions.

This motorcycle training course is designed to give you improved skills using the same techniques that police officers use. Something worth noting is that most police “motor schools” are 3 weeks to 6 weeks in length. (40 hours a week) It’s impossible to provide you with the same level of skill & confidence that most officers gain during their training, but we can definitely “introduce you” to the concepts and techniques. What you do with it after our class is up to you. It takes hundreds of hours of practice to become an excellent rider. Most of us ride “recreationally” and rarely take time to practice with focused exercise’s but this course will give an understanding of what you’ll need to practice to “ride like a cop”.
