Very Roadcraft.

Seems reasonable, that's pretty much how I ride. I like the liberal use of the RHS of the road. It'd be very interesting to see if you could pass a mod 2 riding like that though. I'd expect to get failed for the lack of obvious mirror / shoulder check during all that weaving around..

The rear bike carefully put himself in a position where the front bike was blocking his view a few times. I guess police training covers X ray vision.

And nice justification at the end for the failure to return to the left after overtaking. Special rules, right?

Find 1:04 and tell me 2nd bike is in the best position.

I'm 100% sure they will have a full and valid reason.

I don't agree with some of that, I never take a wide approach to a blind corner for 'better visibility' if you do that round here some dickhead will cut the corner and you'll be off before you know it, I'll carry on hugging the inside

^^^You never take a wide approach? Never?
I understand your use of local knowledge but in general it's best to have a good view in a safe position using the mantra of 'can I stop in the distance I can see?'.

I didn't know that riding on the right side of the road for extended periods of time was allowed. Interesting.

And tell me if they saw one of us doing some of that it wouldn't be a pull, attitude test and a ticket.

A pair of patronizing wads. All the captions...go fuck yourselves, you pedestrian wankers.

Too much crossing or going across broken lines for police riders.
Our police riders don't do these. Rules for broken lines are same though.
This may be nationality difference.
I found them too close to on coming cars few times. Why they don't regard them risky.

Here, police officers on motorcycles are people in their 40's, that got their motorcycle licence during the mandatory army service we used to have for every male, 2 years - when 18+, you could do licence for anything with engine for free in the army. Then they did not ride a thing and after years their mate supervisors decided to let them ride the police motorcycles. Then when ever there is a boy racer in a car or on a motorcycle, they let them get away, or crash, because they can't ride it.

I'm not saying every police officer on motorcycle is like that, but most of them are. So riding like them I'd be dead by now.

This how I usually ride (I'm the camera bike). Note the real world hazard at about 2:32.

Very roadcrafty apart from "I must be able to stop within the distance I can see to be clear on my side of the road" as below gentleman said;

Could you imagine riding like that with a police car behind you?? While you're technically doing nothing wrong, I guarantee you'll get a tug for it.

Also trying to overtake one of them would be a nightmare

If I was behind someone riding like that I'd think "won't be long til they're flying into a bush"
