Motorcycle Rodeo Lets Cops Battle Head-To-Head
Motorcycle Rodeo Lets Cops Battle Head-To-Head-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:23

Two will enter, but only one will leave a victor. In what looks like a miniature auto-cross, this parking lot in Grapevine, TX has been repurposed for local police to show off their skills in a mano a mano obstacle course style competition.

Two riders enter the box, the second rider must follow the pattern of the first or they lose. If either rider touches a cone or puts a foot down they are eliminated. If the second rider follows the first for 90 seconds they win. If they fail to follow the lead rider's path for the full 90 seconds they are eliminated and the first rider wins.

Highlights from the 2015 event show some of the best motorcycle cops compete in four man competition, two man follow and tandem events.

These cops show off an excellent display of skill which no less is expected for a job that requires the officers to sit on their bikes all day everyday. Kudos to the guys lugging around those massive Harley Davidsons, but you'll also get a show from others including a sweet Victory Commander 1 that's not available to civilians. You'll also catch a BMW 1200RT thrown into the mix and I think I caught a Honda ST1300 in there as well.

Holy Shit, Yamaha Still Makes The TW200
We are a nostalgic culture. We like to look back and think about how good things used to be, to watch old movies and pretend like they aren’t really terrible. Auto companies know this, and that’s why they sell us the throwback designs. The look and feel of the...

Yellow Lights Need To Be Longer
If you’ve ever felt yellow lights aren’t long enough, you aren’t alone. The length of the light varies from place to place and it’s sometimes confusing for drivers driving somewhere new who are used to a certain duration at home. A Swedish engineer named is fighting the good fight...

Let Me Ride The Hasty Flaming Buffalo
Let Me Ride The Hasty Flaming Buffalo
It is rare that a custom motorcycle tickles my fancy quite like the “Hasty Flaming Buffalo” here has. I am an absolute sucker for simplicity, motorsport inspiration, and old school cues. And this bike from LM Creations has all of that and absolutely nothing else. It is ostensibly a...

Florida Pedestrian Bridge Collapse The Result Of Bad Math And Ignoring Giant Cracks: Feds
On March 15, 2018, a pedestrian bridge at Florida International University collapsed, crushed the cars underneath, killing six people and injuring 10 others.

I Told My Friend Not To Buy A Broken Daewoo Van 1,800 Miles Away. He Didn't Listen
From across a table crowded with wine bottles, my friend, , announces that he’s flying to the middle of nowhere in less than twelve hours. That is, to a part of Russia bordering Kazakhstan—nearly 1,800 miles from the Saint Petersburg kitchen in which we’re drinking—where he’s “going to buy a...

Don’t Be Nice Around Motorcycles; Be Predictable
Don’t Be Nice Around Motorcycles; Be Predictable
People will often tell you to ride your motorcycle like you’re invisible. This is pretty good advice because most people don’t see you. Many of them don’t see anything except the cell phone glued to their face and whatever their peripheral vision happens to catch. A lot of people...
