No no nono NO. Around here the cops use Harleys. At least now they take a look and say fagetaboutit when we pass at speed in opposite directions. Why would I want that to change ?

The HD's don't do a lot of things good...
However...
They attract the female species like no other, and fall down and get back up without skinned knees!

That is one thing... At the motor officer's course, you'll drop the bike many, many times before it's over. Most officers wrap their crash bars with slit open garden hose to minimize the scratches during the class. Even taking the class on the County's bike, I'd hate to drop it that much. :dribble:

How good does a cop's ride have be to successfully ruin yours? :glare: Not giving it much thought.

I'm just saying I think being a moto cop on an FJR might make one more aggressive in enforcement effort, esp. if they get to go fast for a reason, than otherwise might be the case. I suspect it could in me.
Not saying I'd try to outrun a Harley either, though I have heard of such things.

I am in awe of the mad skills of moto cops. The motorcycle test has the bikes doing a 16 ft u-turn and turning circles in 18 ft. If that sounds easy to you I suggest you go out to a parking lot with some cones and a tape measure.

Police motorcyclists keen to be seen
May 1, 2008
POLICE motorcyclists in Teesdale are now more visible thanks to the redesigned livery on their new patrol bikes. Durham Constabulary's motorcycle section has taken delivery of nine new bikes, to help them to patrol the dale. The bikes are the first vehicles in the fleet to adopt the national Battenberg style of police livery, which uses high visibility yellow diamond patterns on a blue background.
The new machines, Yamaha FJR 1300s, pack a powerful punch and are capable of speeds of up to 150mph. They replace the former fleet of Honda Pan European ST 1300s.
KEEN TO BE SEEN: The new police motorcycle liveryAs well as the high visibility markings, the bikes also have LED lights which use less power, and are fitted with Incident Data Recorders.
PC Tony Richmond, of Durham Constabulary's motorcycle section, said: "The bikes are capable of doing everything we ask of them. They are agile enough and quick enough to do what we need them to do,and the markings make us even more visible."
PC Richmond also explained that although the motorcycle section does traffic duties, they spend a lot of time promoting responsible riding.
