BTW...what is up with the Euros and their police vehicle colors? They look like clowns. :unsure: :lol:
It's a European thing! Men carry purses over there too. I don't get it either! :unsure:

What ****** comments.

Thanks for your post, Matt101.
I am a former LEO, and have no disrespect for my Euro brothers, but it is my OPINION that the colors of their emergency vehicles are garish and hideous. *shrug*

 
Edinburgh, Scotland, on a trip September 2011. I know that I own the right bike, but seeing Scotland's finest riding them made me smile. One night watching local TV in the hotel room, we watched a reality show of Scottish emergency personnel doing their thing. One segment of the show concentrated on how their helicopter and motorcycle services work together for rapid response to medical and other emergency situations, especially is rural areas. The narrator stated that (and I'm paraphrasing), "With a top speed of 150mph (they use mph, not kph) sometimes the motorcycle officer will arrive ahead of the helicopter crew..." Yeah! Sport tourers rule the open road over there, as far as I witnessed anyway.

I think adding a few of those UK Hi-Viz reflective stick-ons to a black or cobalt blue FeeJr fairing could be attractive and improve you conspicuity. Going to the lengths they do on the UK Police motors just seems like overkill to me.

 

I also think that those fairing lowers would be nice to have for wet weather riding.
