I used to have a nieghbor that rode for the Tulsa PD, he loved it. He would get grumpy when the weather changed and he couldn't ride....hmmm....sounds familiar

I saw the Tulsa PD out practicing in a parking lot, they looked like they were having a blast!...Some of those guys are amazing the way they handle the bikes..

I patrol my share of the desert in a Jeep Patrol Unit, but have permission to ride my POV dirt bike on occasion back in to some of the more inaccessible places. I do that about once a month. There are two canyons with washes (arroyos) that are just too hard on the Jeep to clear properly. So that sort of makes me a motorcycle cop! I used to want to do nothing but ride in the desert, now I feel that way about the street on my 1200 Roadster. .............. BC

Wish I did. Chicago has a unit that rides for special events like dignitary escorts, etc. Me? I work in the housing projects by car and on foot sneaking in and out of drug spots. I think a Harley would be too loud to use in covert operations, LOL! [8D]
