The picture above has nothing to do with police motorcycle training but I thought it was funny. That&#8217;s a shot taken in Cambodia and it&#8217;s not an uncommon sight. We had a medium sized refrigerator delivered to our house by motorcycle once. Fun times.

That&#8217;s a shot taken in Cambodia and it&#8217;s not an uncommon sight. We had a medium sized refrigerator delivered to our house by motorcycle once. Fun times.</p>
<p>Anyways, came across these two videos that I found interesting. One is of the French police doing their motorcycle training and the other is of the Japanese police doing theirs. Quite impressive.</p>
<p>Videos after the jump.</p>

<p>So fast, and you can hear the sides of the bikes scraping against the ground. I didn&#8217;t think you could do <a title="gymkhana - wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymkhana" target="_blank">gymkhana</a> on bikes that big.</p>
