Re: P.S. Modern bike but same old terrible obsolete helmet and gear.

New gear!? Outrageous I say, outrageous! Besides that would take funds away from the gel seats, heated handgrips and the coffee cup holders. ;-)

You can change the motorcycle under the cop, but not the cop in the uniform. Anyhow, if they went Joe Rocket, ICON or some such they'd look like rejects from the set of Judge Dredd -- not sure they want that. Personally, I think they like the old school '1960s-70s moto cop motif even if it is dated.

I vote for a vintage PBY, FW-190 or Spitfire if we're going the airplane metaphor. I'd take any of 'em over an F-16 or Piper Cub for patrol duty... even though they leak oil like a mother. Besides their cannons would be great on red light runners.

Stupid land-based airbases... ruined the who flying boat world. I'm sure a few more fire departments wish they still made 'em though, for those massive water drops on forest fires.

Sweet. Last I heard some company in Japan still makes flying boats... not sure.
