Pictures of Police bikes

[Steam]

Saw one scraping the pegs in Wellington a few weeks ago, he was riding ahead of a diplomatic motorcade. Lots of sparks!!!

Does anyone have any pictures of NZ police bikes?
I've searched all over google but can't find any pics of any NZ policebikes.
If so please link or post thanks

Early sixties, cop bike far right, check the rozzas garb.....
I love this shit. This was the 25 Club in Wanganui, just having fun.

Yup there was one sitting at the Petone on ramp this morning, saw him as i was coming up to lane split and merged into traffic quickly.....pity the poor biker coming up the hutt road.

Wicked gauntlets.

Cheers, I spoke to members of the 25 Club recently (when I got the pics, many in their late sixties now) and they reckon for the most part the cops were ok, fines were minimal and it was a bit of 'cops and robbers' shit. Pretty light-hearted stuff. The days when a man's fists were the weapons and his word was his bond. The 25 Club was probably the last of the original M/C's in NZ. It was an honour to meet some of them.

Being an ex Wanganui boy myself, I can relate to the photo.
Cut my m/cycle teeth blatting round town sunday a/noon with a dozen mates.
Coppers playing cat n mouse. Got booked twice in one a/noon by the same copper. Funny shit.

Interesting pic, brings back memories but hey, does anyone know when it was helmets became law? I can't remember now!

Early WCC cops on Sunbeams in Wellington had those gloves but even funnier helmets, same kind of trousers though.

A friend of a friend got me some, good on cold nights! John.

This is a family website, and that is some seriously kinky shit

They have just changed to the new 1200's, much nicer looking bike with more bang and better handling.

Why such big bikes? The news article I was reading in the Press a couple of weeks back suggested strongly that these were for urban use and would be great for threading through traffic. Wouldn't a (lighter)650/750 be even better at that while still having enough grunt to chase down the bad guys ... or is all the extra gear carried really that heavy?

I think i'ts to do with weight carrying, and "liveability" day in day out on the job.
My kinda office. EXCEPT for doing the police work. (i havn't got such a tolerant work ethic)

Here's a few pics for you of my old bikes...

BMW pics from my conversion course about 2 years ago, doing cone work and braking on grass.

Couple of pics of my old ST1100 (doing skid testing at a crash course in the last one - you can see everyone waiting for me to fall off, however they were disappointed.).

Which bike do you prefer, Bykey Cop ?
The ST or the R12 ?

Cool! Bike cops must get some pretty intense training, I saw one hustling around the bottom of Onehunga going onto Mangere Bridge pretty quickly (90 degree corner), and then the car in front almost stopped dead in front of him. Cop managed to stop beautifully mid-corner while leaned quite far, no twitching or violent suspension carrying on, just a graceful stop in a very short distance.

Didn't even put his feet down when he went to ride off. Very smooth.

Saw one of these going over the harbour bridge yesterday, those crash bars are difficult to miss!

Only had the R1150R-P not the 1200 which are starting to come out now, although I did have a quick squirt on a 1200 at my last course in December and they seem lighter and more "flickable" than the 1150.

The ST was ok and initially I thought the Beemer was a bit of a dog but got used to it fast and although there are a couple of things the Honda had that I liked better, the Beemer turned out to be pretty good.

Doing crash investigation now so no work bike at the moment
