Police Motorcycle Officer-New Cone Pattern & Training-The Chaser-Designed by Police Motor Officer Ryan Urlacher

January 11, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

This is a brand new cone pattern drill I designed for an upcoming Police Motorcycle Officer Training Course. I have designed it from scratch and I am calling it “The Chaser”.

I spent quite a bit of time testing and measuring things out. I tested it all out on my Police Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. At the end of the video, I walk you through the course and give you the exact measurements and how to set it up.

This is an advanced police motorcycle cone pattern and you should be a very experienced and skilled rider before trying this at the prescribed measurements. If you're a beginner or intermediate rider, you can widen and lengthen all the cone settings.

The goal of this pattern is to get riders comfortable with emergency threshold braking, obstacle avoidance and quick and aggressive U-turns. This is a maneuver Police Motorcycle Officers perform daily while turning around to catch violators or to respond to collisions, just to name a few.

Once riders discover the proper turn points and get into a rhythm, it will feel awesome and will look great. If a rider does not hit the proper points and is forcing the bike it will be very difficult. It's all about full bar locks, head and eye placement, quick transitions, and quickly coming in and out of the clutch gray area in this drill.

Check out my Harley-Davidson Police Motorcycle! | In-Depth Look

August 16, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 8 Comments

In this video, I give you a very thorough look at how my 2018 Harley-Davidson Police Edition Electra Glide is equipped. These Harley Police models come from the factory with red and blue lights, siren, and special switches for operation such. When a particular law enforcement agency gets the Harley Police Model then it is up to them from there to set it up in a manner that best suits an officer’s needs. Computers, printers, modems, extra battery and more can be placed in the trunk. Rifles and other equipment can be placed in the saddlebag or on mounted on the outside of the Police Harley model.

Paint schemes and graphics also vary from police agency to police agency. The Police Harley Electra Glide is really a stripped-down version of a Street Glide. There is no stereo in the dash and just a storage box instead. We mount a police radio in that spot. Our police radios connect to our helmet microphone and speaker system via Bluetooth. I hope you enjoy this video and get a real in-depth understanding of how a Police Harley Electra Glide is equipped and functions.

I was interviewed by Lawdog (LD) over at The Fine Blue Line Podcast, which is his newly created podcast for cops by cops as he says. I actually got to sit and relax for once as a guest and not run the show. He wanted to interview me as I am a full-time police motorcycle officer and trainer. I also run Law Abiding Biker™ Media on the side. He had a ton of questions for me and we just sat and talked. It was a great time.

Take a listen and get an inside look into what it's like day to day being a police motorcycle officer and riding a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. There are many things the general public may not know and I reveal it all. We talk about many things such as the best police motorcycles, day to day duties, what I like, what I don't like, policies, equipment, my experience, and training. And a whole bunch more!

I thank Lawdog at The Fine Blue Line Podcast for allowing me to use the interview audio file and put it out to the Law Abiding Biker™ audience on this podcast! I have never really explained in depth much about my police motor officer career because I'm always so busy putting out other biker content for this audience.

LAB-179-My New 2018 Police Harley Electra Glide Milwaukee-Eight!

I have been riding and training on my 2013 Police Harley Electra Glide for some time now. I love this bike and work on it daily as a Motorcycle Police Officer. I am retiring this bike that now has about 30,000 miles on it, which is standard for the agency I work for. It will become a spare bike and mostly sit. I'm being issued a brand new 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police Edition and I'm super excited. These Police Harley's come stock with a bunch of emergency equipment, wiring, and switches. We also have to customize them locally with radios and computers.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

Listen in as we discuss my new Police Harley. My 2013 has the 103 motor and a cable clutch. My new 2018 Harley will have the 107 ci Milwaukee-Eight motor and a hydraulic clutch. Switching from a Harley cable to hydraulic clutch can take some time when riding aggressively on training courses, but it's not a big deal for me as my personal 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special has a hydraulic clutch. Generally speaking, a cable clutch has a little bigger gray area than a hydraulic. For years, we adjusted our cable clutch to exactly where we wanted it to engage when we let the lever out.

With a hydraulic clutch there are no adjustments at all. However, we are testing some aftermarket adjustable clutch levers for our police Harley's and are liking them. I will do a future video review of what model of adjustable lever we decide on, so stay tuned and make sure you are subscribed to our YouTube Channel.

My 2013 Police Harley is a pre-2014 Rushmore model. My 2013 bike shakes quit a bit, especially at idle. This new 2018 Harley is amazing and they got ride of a ton of shaking and vibration with the Milwaukee-Eight motor. The power increase is very noticeable too. I have already ridden new Police Milwaukee-Eight bikes and the transition will be fairly easy for me. This bike is powerful and smooth.

Listen in as we give you an inside look and details on what it takes to get up and running with a Police Harley. It is quite a process before the bike is ready to hit the road. I actually stripped down the two new Harley's we got. I removed the fairings, seats, and fuel tanks to give our radio & computer guys access to equip the bikes. I will put the bikes back together when they are done.

Video-Police Motorcycle Officer-New Cone Pattern & Training-The Rythmulator-Designed by Police Motor Officer Ryan Urlacher

Video-Police Advanced Motor School Training-Motorcycle Officers-Washington State Patrol Academy Track

July 29, 2017 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Video-I take you behind the scenes at the Washington State Patrol Academy track where Police Officers are attending Advanced Motorcycle School. Typically, a Police Motor Officer will attend a basic 2 week Police Motorcycle Training School. After that is under their belt they can apply to Advanced Police Motorcycle Officer School. In this advanced school, Police Officers ride at higher speeds, as where the basic school is mostly lower speed technical cone patterns. Advanced Police Motorcycle training adds high speeds in between technical cone patterns. There are portions of the course without any cones and it is simply learning to ride and corner at very high speeds.
