2016 Yonkers(NewYork) Police Motorcycle School

[@Igot2fly1]

WOW. This is amazing. I've been riding Over 40 years and would never think of riding my BIG off road. I would love to be able to take a course like this. Thank you sharing and also Thank you for your service.

[@Chopbreaka]

This course is not for the faint of heart . Hats off to these brave officers keeping us safe . Long healthy careers..

[@Kactapuss]

much respect for yonkers motorcycle police training class - I'll mention this video if they ever stop me!

[@MeatyPetey]

Lol! Thanks!

[@Kactapuss]

I would love to take this course - super dynamic conditions and looks like a lot of fun too. Also the video is quite entertaining, it starts off with rookies who can barely stop without falling over, then your're riding single track in parks and suddenly you guys are launching the grassy hill and going through deep sand. If normal citizens did most of this to improve their skills on their bikes we would be arrested and charged with reckless driving :-( Props to Stamford, CT MC PD too, caught one of their bikes in here.

[@anthonyjake9939]

Wow, they put you guys and those Harleys through HELL!!!!

[@RyRyWags]

One of the best police motorcycle training schools I've viewd!🙂

[@jimwhite8891]

Wow, I would seriously pay to train with these guys :) Way to represent Yonkers!

Greetings from Russia from admirers of brand Harley-Davidson! Great video! You are real professionals! Good luck in the service! And as they say in Russia - Flat roads and a full tank!

[@MeatyPetey]

Thank you! As we say here Sunny side up!

[@prince78roman]

Привет из России не только от почитателей HD но и от мотоинструкторов! Отличная работа, хорошая школа!

[@MeatyPetey]

Thank you! Both of you i'm sure would be happy to know that my personal motorcycle is a Ural!

[@МихаилЧенчик]

Meaty Petey ок ! Ждём видео про русский Ural в Америке ;)

[@MeatyPetey]

Lol! I'll get working on that! Another instructor in the school has a Ural as well... I'll make sure to include it in my next video which should be coming out in about a month.

[@jesterd14]

My friend is a motorcycle officer in the CHP, he and his family went to a fundraiser and his daughter entered a raffle and the grand prize was a choice between 12k or a 2-year-old Street Glide. She won and took the Street Glide. At first, he thought she was kidding when she told him, then they asked if he wanted to ride it home for her.

[@NiYak1974]

Nice video! Good luck on the roads and success in your business. Sunny side up!

[@toro5338]

Guys, you took my breath away !!! 👍👍👍

[@puddingleaf]

The great thing about these machines is that when you fall off, you aint got far to fall!

[@dmitry.gafarov]

Мое почтение, мужики!

[@bentoucourt]

Hi meaty ! I am a motorcycle cop in France. I was glad to see your video. the motorcycle school is different here ( like we don't ride the bike we will ride on duty ! we had gears during the training) How long is that motorcycle school? Thanks again ! Benjamin

[@MeatyPetey]

Hey Ben! Our motorcycle school is 10 days long. Ours is certified by the state of New York but there are many other schools throughout the country and even NY state. I've heard of some as short as 5 days and others as long as 15 days. How long was your school? Do you wear a different patch that shows you are a Motor officer once you graduate? How did you come across my video? Think it's really cool that it's being viewed as far away as France! Stay safe brother!

[@bentoucourt]

hey !!! Thanks for the answer. The motorcycle school is 15 weeks long, but yes the 1srt and last weeks are not dedicated to training, but more for administrative (1rst) and demonstrations skills for the show at the end of school. As the french police is organized like the FBI in your country, our school give us the opportunity to work in all part of the country... We had to back to school each 5 years, for a week, to check that we are able to ride strongly enough. We are not paid more for being a motorcycle ! The only nice part of being a motorcycle cop into the french national police force, is that we are not allowed to work out of our motorcycle squad. We can't drive ! only ride! We are not pedestrian cop ! How did I see you vid? I like to see other country motorcycle cops, particulary your country, because yours uniforms are nice ! (I like the Rhode Island trooper uniform !) Benjamin

[@motorbikehorseman]

I winced for each of these guys going down, even the pro got thrown. But practice makes better. Enjoy the ride boys I am glad I passed the going down stage - I hope.

[@chirazdjelti2833]

I love motorcycle

[@DavidSmith-br4vt]

Thank you for sharing very informative

[@ferik.-aerodron1854]

excellent video - I wish you a nice day

[@marcomillari6847]

complimenti! compliments! great job!

[@mavricxx]

Damn that looks like fun but awesome training. Better that they learn the skills here than the hard way outside on the open.

[@givnasty2943]

Dude...this looks like an awesome school!

[@MeatyPetey]

Thanks, man! It's a great school that teaches our students how to ride in any condition. We are currently hosting our 2017 class and I will be posting another video in a week.

[@lawdog490]

Another great video Petey.....

[@MeatyPetey]

Thanks, Rich! Motor school starts next week so I should have another put together in a couple weeks.

[@thedriver4038]

Another great video.

[@warlockraven]

Perfect!!!

[@ОлегМ-о4ф]

Офигенно!

[@babaiker]

guys on russian forum are interested why don't they use protective equipment, like elbow or knee pads Meaty Petey, can you tell us please?

[@MeatyPetey]

I can't really speak for the policies of each department regarding safety equipment beyond what is required for my personal agency. They require we wear a helmet, eye protection and gloves. Any officer can use additional equipment if they'd like and many wear riding jackets with added protection or heavy leather coats in the winter. Sorry I can't answer the question better.

[@babaiker]

i think i got it, thank you

[@2W3bSv]

Молодцы!

[@comondu]

Awesome

[@willnot5687]

must be a relief to crash a bike u don't have to pay for ha

[@xxsunnymelodyxx77]

I didn’t see any crashes .,, did you ?

[@MaseratiChris556]

The PD should've spent the money on the Victory bikes have you seen those things balance themselves!

[@xxsunnymelodyxx77]

Victory is history.

[@ortsjp]

日本と全然違うな・・・。ハーレーをあんな風に走らせてみたい

[@bobsmeyne763]

Short sleeves on the highway? What happened to ATGATT?

[@halil367]

is there any way for a tourist to join such a school

[@GhostlyDelinquent]

Pretty sure there is, youd just have to pay a entrance fee or something

[@halil367]

@@GhostlyDelinquent could you recommend me some place

[@halil367]

In NY

[@مهيمنمحي-ي7غ]

💪👍

[@andringresch4061]

What's the top speed of those bikes?

[@STI1000HP]

Cool story much respect for the riders not cops

[@choorela]

So heavy motorcycles. These vehicles can run only easy paved road.

[@ИльясАблязов-п6б]

Без защиты тренируются, видимо чтоб не переоценивали свои возможности.

[@GRM13]

В каком месте им нужна защита?

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

Our tax money put to good use

[@xxsunnymelodyxx77]

Illegal drug money, laundered money seized money- buys motorcycles.

[@aapo1699]

Why do they get harleys? Shit to manouver and slow. It hink they should get nakeds or sportbikes

[@painmagnet1]

I hope these guys have several schools ahead of them. What they are displaying in this video is low average street ability and none offroad whatsoever.

[@allgrainbrewer10]

Looked on YOUR page showing your skill. Hmmm nothing there. Stick behind your keyboard, where you are safe.

[@xxsunnymelodyxx77]

Compare W-2 s. See who makes more to ride. Return to keyboard.

[@xxsunnymelodyxx77]

Ok.... total assessment based on 5 minute video of a 80 hour course. Hmmm

[@riverw007]

These are terrible bikes. I rode my brothers $15,000 ultraglide a couple of decades ago and it was the least competent motorcycle I have ever ridden. No clearance, frame tubes like a schwinn, nasty shimmy while cornering, horrible vibrations and it was unstable at low speeds. The only upside was the comfort, the heated grips and the cassette deck. Why are these terrible bikes used for such a vital job? I hope the discount is steep. If someone wants to sponsor my old ass crushing their course on a ktm adventure with saddle bags and appropriate radio and equipment weight it would be fun. Thanks in advance.

[@xxsunnymelodyxx77]

Wow... so about the video ... are you going to make a point?

[@EpicMale]

It would save a LOT of our taxes if they learned on a Vespa before they moved up to the big boy bike. LOL..

[@Super3xtr4]

well picking bikes like that for the police is so stupid it´s only possible in murica

[@MeatyPetey]

Each Department selects what motorcycle the officers ride. Different departments ride different motors. Kawasaki, BMW, Victory as well as Harley's are the popular choices. Most of the riding is done on pavement and the HD is a popular choice in the Northeast. BTW it's 'Merica

[@V--N]

If those guys can handle HD like that - i just can't imagine, what they can do with BMW GS ))

[@MrWolfSnack]

And you need a bike that can handle all the police gear and still stay balanced on the road. You try putting all that kit on a motocross dirtbike for example and it will handle like a single speed bicycle loaded with sunday newspapers.
