Default Code Two - cool LEO biker film

Fliping through channels last night and caught “Code Two” – 1953 film about L.A. motorcycle cops with plenty of bike action. I had never heard of it. The film was showing on TCM and below is a link to the trailer. I give it a thumbs up. Anybody else have a comment on this film?

It looks like a mix of Andy Taylor, Tarzan, Rawhide & Dragnet!

I saw that!! Last evening while I was eating my dinner. Cool old police FLH footage. Those guys were actually catching some air on those old hardtails. All were tank shifters with some flatheads and a few "newer" panheads thrown in.

Yes, I was wondering where I could find bathing suits like that.

Sorry I missed it! I like those old B&W flics. Elaine Stewart (whom I've never heard of before) looks (IMO) a whole lot like the woman who plays Bones in the current TV series of same name.

Loved the stunts, riding motocross-style with a hardtail, hanging on to a rope to hide behind a moving truck. Hated it when that cool old bike caught fire in the shootout.

I saw this on a late movie years ago. Thanks for giving the name. I wanted to check it out again and couldn't remember what to look for.

Chuck Connors is in the trailer but not on the list of stars. That may have been his first movie before The Rifleman came along.
