Dubai has an all-woman anti-terrorist squad on GSXR1000s
http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2008/ ... .html#more
"Six women from Dubai's Department of Protective Security and Emergency have been chosen to form the Gulf region's first all-woman quick response team. Quite frankly we're awed. Handpicked as personal bodyguards for ministers, heads of state, political figures like the late Benazir Bhutto and pop stars no less than Beyonce Knowles, each officer has been specially military-trained in counter-terrorism, 9mm marksmanship and anti-riot control.
Dubai being Dubai, these officers can't be on rickety scooters. They have to keep up with all those Bugatti's, so they get black Suzuki GSX-R1000's for patrol bikes as well as the standard slow-poke Yamaha 1200's with panniers, horns and lights.
Sadly, everything in the photos tells us the bike part of this squad may be more style than substance. The most blatant offenses are the giant sticker directly in the line of site while tucking and the absence of goggles so the officers can see while riding at speeds exceeding 15 mph. We could be completely wrong though, and are willing to concede that things like eye protection, proper helmets, combat armor, gloves and wearable communications equipment may have been ditched for their glamour shots at the request of the photographer.
Regardless, creating an all-woman rapid response team with deadly officers, giving them cool uniforms and hoontastic GSX-R1000's for patrol bikes is way cooler than our middle-aged officers on slow over-weight Harley's."

Thats a woman ??????
r u sure
looks like a shemale to me
anyhooo, I think its great that shemales are in protective services and that they obviously have excellent bike skills, as they dont need to wear any protective gear and open faced helmets on sport bikes.

Actually, that'd be way cooler. They'd be hotter too with the element of mystery instead of showing their faces.We could be completely wrong though, and are willing to concede that things like eye protection, proper helmets, combat armor, gloves and wearable communications equipment may have been ditched for their glamour shots at the request of the photographer.

And the fact that you think they would be hotter just raises the hotness level by a thousand.

you have little control when you use the 3 finger compared to the 4. What happens if you get into an accident or somehow squeeze too hard or walk into a wall with that handle bar and that clutch chops that finger off? As the MSF course points out its either put all 4 fingers on or none at all.koji52 wrote:ofblong wrote:shes also not properly using the clutch.
I prefer the three finger clutch squeeze but to each his (or her) own. I don't believe there's is a single proper way to use the clutch as long as the job gets done safely.
