Nice!!!

Have you seen the movie "Electra Glide in Blue"? It's a 70's flick starring Robert Blake as an Arizona bike cop. The best part of the movie is near the end where there's a high-speed bike chase with a group of hippies.

Anyway... back to the 21st century - your work bike is awesome!

Cheers,
Loonette

They really need to start making more cop-personalized motorcycle gear.
Especially a rigged-for-a-cop flip-up fullface.
Nice bike and be safe man.

Shoei makes a flip-up/modular helmet for the police. It even has a small led light build it so you can use it to light up your ticket pad at night.

I'm more curious why MC police don't where full armor protection ... knees, elbows and shoulders.

Here they don't wear anything more than a beanie style helmet, gloves, and combat boots.

But they do wear a bullet proof vest and an assault rifle strapped across their backs, go figure.

Cloth pants and short sleeve shirts are the norm, I don't think I've ever seen a single rider in my city with so much as an armored jacket.

Here they all wear knee-high leather boots, gloves, their normal bulletproof vests and uniform shirts, and a 3/4 helmet with no shield... But they're riding ST1300s and usually don't go above 80...
