Yeah, a slide at 80 will just be a minor scrape on the elbows.

I see no knee or arm protection... tsk tsk. Damn motorcycles are dangerous.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

You mean the part where the cop gets blown away? :shock: Personally, I thought the ending sucked.

Your tax money at work. Must be nice to live in such a wealthy community.
What did they cost? About $35K US each?

That cant be seriously used, im sorry but if I were to see that behind me my response would be "who is this idiot all over me" not "oh its the police, I should pull over" put more lights on it and paint it white or something.

Yeah, they do use it. There was a part about it on "Superbikes". And you can't miss the fact that it's a highway patrol when it's lights are flashing.
