If YOU ride a motorcycle?

[migraineman]

Can you make a 180 degree turn from a standstill in a tight area like motorcycle cops do?



I saw a cop do it while I was at the "Run to the Wall" Rolling Thunder ride last May. I practiced till I could do it and gently layed my bike over in the process (very minor scratches). Motor cops are really good riders!

Yes but I cannot do a doughnut on the hog. I've seen guys do doughnuts and fishtail burnouts on full sized dressers. Not me. And yes, those cops really can ride!

This is a picture of my wife and I on my 96 FLHTC all I did was put a jet kit in it. She likes the way I drive

I've seen motor cops do some truly amazing things on two wheels.

We had an escorted charity run a month ago and saw a moron drift out of the line to take a picture while a motor cop was SCREAMING up the left lane at probably 90+mph, to block the next intersection. I still don't know how he avoided certain disaster. ( alot of skill and luck, I guess).

I found him after the ride and had to shake his hand.



Migraineman... . If you come up next year for the "Run", stop by Harley of Washington. We put on a great free lunch for the Riders, and have a live band. always 2-3 thousand show up for the ride Sunday to the "Puzzle Palace" parking lot.

Oasis-3, Are you draging your tailpipes on the ground in that picture? It looks like more on the ground than one rear tire?

 

[Mill Rat]

No

I guess I'm chicken, the Ultra is just too heavy and expensive for me to try this. Back before my middle expanded I rode a Sportster and did stuff like this on ocasion.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Almost afraid to ask this but how heavy is the wife?

[The patriot]

Yes. It was part of the road test here in NJ.

When I sold the bike the pipes were worn down and looked like slash style pipes it only had 6,000 miles on it.

I could do the wheel stands with no one on the back but the wife enjoyed it so I would take her along.

My 89 FXSTS would lift the front wheel at 30 mph and when it hit the ground again it would read 75 to 80 mph

How do you guys put pictures up like that?

i ride a FLHTCU also. i want both of the tires on the ground at the same time at ALL times. mine has been tweaked til something slips in first gear if i lay into it, and the front wheel gets pretty light, but not off the ground. i used to ride a unicycle... ..... them as can, DO, them as can't reminisce(sp)

i also ride. these days i ride a heritage classic and my wife rides a road king. i hope you all are members of abate. the organization that was the leader in having the mandatory helmet law overturned here in florida.

 

[o_mccarroll]

I have no trouble putting the Buell S1 on one wheel. Which wheel you want? Gotta love the American Iron!

 

[Papa Joe]

Nope, I can't (without a foot down). My ex-brother-in-law was a CHP motor cop. And, yes, they are GOOD riders. Joe
