Don't you hate it when you lock up the brakes and the wheels go airborne?

And they'll be just like these guys:

Caught in the act!
Here's how I read this article. Five new $28k bikes = stay the Hell out of San Luis Obispo. The ticket writing/ revenue generating will be in high gear.
If you wanna go HD I think you make a great suggestion. Sportster 883 probably is more agile and offers better performance
Do you think they wrote each other tickets when they were done?
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.
They would buy both.



The special reduced-circumference nightsticks would be used as their back-up piece.
Yep in British Columbia they still use one for forest fires..
I'd prefer an AC-130...
Cool thanks for posting that...
yep you nailed it thanks cool boat/plane.. :)
So THAT's what they mean when the sign says "Speed enforced by aircraft."
More suitable for violating Jamaican immigrants? Forget I said that.
Nice link. I knew that there are still seaplanes in use today in many areas.



There are still a lot of C-47/DC-3s in the air too.

I must be a braking guru, 'cause I have no problem keeping my wheels on the ground, even without the benefit of ABS ;-)
I'm not really sure I understand why cops need motorcycles at all.
