Sure, it counts. Hopefully he/she was nice... note to the officer, poor tactical parking on the stop.
Exactly opposite from how it should be. Just sayin...

After getting a flat tire, and the Columbian fuzz running over to pick up some tire spoons to help,



we gave them a spin on our piles






The Nicaraguan rozzers attempting to extract a bribe from us.

If I come down do I get to ride the DRZ?
Actually, I might...

After many heated discussions with our supervisors, they finally gave in and are putting blue lights/siren on these bikes. Also, since GIVI North America HQ's is in Charlotte, we're getting a box/trunk on the rear. None of us are looking forward to the DNC. It's going to be about the closest thing to hell on earth that I can think of. We are planning for 300 to 500 arrests per day.

We will be there together.

Been there with rocks and bottles not the urine and feces. It has been about 13 years since I was. Sometimes I would like to get back in there, but my better sense says let the young ones handle it.
Be safe.

Indeed. My plan is to have a fellow passenger with a pepper ball machine gun and a big ass lead pipe and simply ride around and clip these booger eaters in the face with the pipe or light em up with the pepper balls !

You in?

BTW just in case some, uh, "executive staff" happen to be on ADVrider, JUST KIDDING !!!

The DRZ is ok for an hour or so. After that, it's brutal. It makes a poor road police bike. They do come in handy for getting to places that we couldn't before. The first week in use, I found a missing child on one of our greenways. His parents thougt these bikes were the greatest idea they'd ever heard of. I'm hoping that when the DNC (Do Not Come) is over, the department might faze them out and I'm going to try and buy mine. Then I can farkle the hell out of it and turn it into a decent ADV ride.

You should have taken off running for no reason, Then again she probably shot you, so its a good thing you didn't. I like what you did to the Ninja.
