KCMO POLICE TRAINING
Posted: 22 May 2014 21:58
The KC BMW Motorcycle Club is sponsoring a day of training by the KCMO Police motorcycle instructors. All bikes are welcome. The date for the training will be Sunday, 15 June, 2014 (Father's Day). We've got openings for 28 riders, led by 4 KCPD Motor Officer Instructors. Money raised benefits of the Kansas City Police Foundation. The cost is $50 per rider, which includes a fantastic BBQ lunch.
Here are some of the exercises that will likely be covered: The keyhole, 90ยบ pullout, lane change, offset cone weave, box-8, the intersection (4-leaf clover), slow cone weave, U-turn, stopping in a curve, 30-MPH cone weave, diminishing clearance, 40-MPH evasive maneuver and brake & escape. Those last 4 will be strung together into one circuit. Expect to spend about 20 minutes on each exercise or circuit, and a break after about an hour. It's pretty intensive, so bring your A-game! As always, if you're not comfortable with any particular exercise, sit that one out - no shame in knowing your limits.
I have taken this course a number of times and it is very well done.
Please drop me a note with your email address if you would like an application.
