That story (to me) duznt make him sound like a good rider....he sounds fkn dangerous....looseing thou's 2 up on and old heap, duznt sound like the sort of stuff ex coppers should be doing.....

Never go by appearances! I have seen fast road riders on big bikes (R1, ZX12R,ZX9R, GSXR1100) absolutely humiliated by an old fart on a BM R1000 (SH16)....and he made it look so easy! I rode with him once and had to wring the neck offa my FZR750, just to keep him in sight and he looked like he was going for a quiet Sunday bimble!

I'm not sure if our cops are trained up to UK standards, though. - although I wouldnt like to try Nodman on.....

I saw the first cop bike Ive seen in many many years in Christchurch this morning,a Beemer K series [Ive seen the ST1100's in Auckland before]. I thought they were trialing boxer 1150's? WTF?

Yeah, kinda suprising that BMW can build some real stylee cars, but their bikes always look so half finished or that they were built by a committee !!!

Touche'! You are far too smart for a young fellow up so late. Go to bed.

As a Beemer fan I like to think of their bike styling as "avante garde" or cutting edge but as has been said, theres a very fine line between being cool & being wank!

Here we are arguing about style on a thread about police re-introducing bikes to their fleet...

I reckon 'Duck for Bathrooms' is the most amazing cleaning product I have ever seen. It removes soap scum with contemptuous ease, out degreases most of the degreasers (orange energy etc), yet leaves not a trace of a smear on my glass shower door.

In an old mag I had, can't remember it now, Fast Bikes I think it was...they had a brief story about the police introducing a couple of 1000RR's, in full Team Police livery. They reckoned it was as a 'PR tool.' Yeah right, to make the bike riding public shit themselves maybe.
