    Be careful what you wish for.

    We, in our very safe world, seem to be very good at seeing problems where there are none. Utter madness!

    Now that would be the best possible reason I could think of!

    I very much doubt there are any mufti police bikes. Plus, the police struggle with enough budget to run the existing fleet (which are now kept for longer, more km put on them etc).

    The closest I can think of in appearance would be the odd security company bike which was deliberately done up to look close-ish to the police bikes to get a conditioned response. I thought there were only 2 and one had been sold, the other was up for sale...

    i have heard of a bike that has changed hands recently, which could very well be mistaken for a police bike in the Wellington Region.

    The lack of facts is a prerequisite for any good mystery though...
