Over the years the Portland Police Bureau motor officers have fielded many questions about rider safety, equipment and general riding. Police motor officers are some of the most proficient riders in the motorcycling community. As with most police agencies PPB motor officers ride 24/365. Only icy roads prevent them from patrolling on their two wheeled squad vehicles. With this they have gained extensive experience in riding in foul weather, heavy traffic, and hours of darkness. They have ridden thousands of miles on various motorcycles, numerous brands of tires and, other aftermarket equipment. We have tested and evaluated various pieces of after market add on equipment. In this we have found some items work well and other surprisingly did not stand up to the designers claims.
This blog "Advanced Police Motorcycling Tips" is intended to share the vast knowledge and experience with our fellow motorcycling enthusiasts. We are not claiming to be the top authority but, our years of experience and extensive training has developed a skill set unmatched in the public arena. Our focus is not to develop faster riders but safer riders. We hope to monthly post article(s) on topics such as equipment and riding points. The view point we will be sharing will be from our experience, testing and evaluations all done in on the road activity. We hope to hear from you as we progress in this new venture.
Next week we want to run an article you tire performance. Michelin Pilot Road 3 compared to Pilot Road 2
ReplyDeleteI like the idea, however, dark text on light background is easier to read than white on black. I look forward to reading this blog :)
