Law enforcement rodeo!!
This last weekend I went to a "Law Enfrocement Rodeo". Several law enforcement organizations from around the area (florida big bend) compete on a very tight course.
It was amazing to watch these guys (and a few girls) sling these 800lb bikes around like they were dirt bikes.
Excellent time, excellent experience.
Here are a few pics:

I've seen out local Sheriffs team put on a display. They are really good. I thought I could ride but I would not even try some of the things they do. Takes lots of practice though.

By the look of that first pic, they spend too much time BEHIND A DESK... probably munching donuts.
Civilians ride just as good. Just depends on how well you know your ride.

RE: Law enforcement rodeo!!
Those guys and gals have to know how to ride as their lives depend on it. They are doing a heck of a job. Their bikes are their tools like a carpenter and his saw and hammer, or a mason with his trial and square. They are good at what they do. Could all of us do it, maybe with tons of practice.

The biggest thig is that although you practice some manoeuvres with your scoot, you are sure not tempted to push the enveloppe and drop your fully chromed up bike that you still have another 60 payments on. A mistake is just not an option.
