#1 China Traffic Police - Safety Training03-15-2009, 02:33 AM
A different kind of ride report
From time to time I act as instructor for the BMW Motorrad China Importer, giving basic safety training to several traffic police units in China.
All this is not a performance training, but focusing on safety. It shall also help the riders to get used to the bigger, more powerful and heavy bikes.
The bikes are solely used for VIP guiding, not for regular traffic law enforcement.
Not only that we had good progress, we also had loads of fun together. Aside from that, I got a bit of an inside view of traffic police in China.

Nanning, Guangxi, China - May 31st, 2008
Nanning Police have a fleet of 6 BMW R1200RT authority version bikes, delivered in 2008.
This training was held in an afternoon and next day morning session. Pretty good since we spent some time together during dinner and throughout the evening.
Highlights:
Very warm reception, excellent organization
Met with Chief of Traffic Police and other high ranked Traffic Police Officials
Thank you guys for the nice reception, cooperation and great hospitality!

Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China - June 13th, 2008
Jiangyin Police didn't have the bikes delivered at the time of training, so the importer brought a general version of the BMW R1200RT.
The training site wasn't that perfect, a dead end public road, surrounded with dozens of bystanders.
Since we had only one big bike available, progress was slow but at least they got to know the big bike a bit.

They sure don't have much in the way of riding gear do they?

Wuxi, Jiangsu, China - June 14th, 2008
Bikes haven't been delivered at the time of training, so we had to use the importer's street version of the R1200RT.
Wuxi welcomed us with bad weather, which made things not easy and the photographer mostly seeking shelter in the car , not too many pictures therefore.

Shanghai, China - June 16th, 2008
Police have a fleet of over 60 BMW's (R850RT and R1150RT) for some years already and it was mainly about a training for new riders.
Everything was very Shanghai style, so some pics only.

You look very unimpressed with a police 125cc chopper!
Why don't they buy safety gear before they get the bikes?

I was actually very impressed - that one can ride this thing at all
It seems they have nothing suitable available from their armory, and have to look around elsewhere for riding gear which fits their dress code.
They wear some army stuff (knee and elbow protectors) under their uniforms but still missing proper boots.
Could we make some business there ?Andy
