Default Military Police Bikes
MP's (Military Police) have used motorcycles to patrol US installations around the world. Predominately on WLA's, this article contains two dozen photographs of MP's and their motorcycles.

My favorite is towards the end of the article and has an MP riding with a cigar in his mouth, just looks cool...

Great pics! When I see these old photos, I always wonder what happened to them and where they are now, if they're still alive.
