Motorcycle Policeman

[darkrider]

anybody here ever been one? or been pulled over, harassed, complimented, etc... by one?

 

I had 4 local motorcycle policeman pull up and park beside me today while I was leaving. 2 of them where really cool and started asking Indian questions and such, the other 2 stood there and gave me dirty looks and gleamed with that "got something to prove" routine.

I was nice and talkative to all 4.

but it just kind'of makes me wonder what makes a policeman decide to be one?

I asked them if they ride off-duty, and they said no, one said he's thinking about getting a bike if his wife lets him but she don't like motorcycles. They said that since they have 12 hour shifts, they really don't feel much like riding when their off.

I guess that makes sense, but to me it seems to just really kill the whole point.

the whole encounter and conversation just seemed kind'of odd.

I guess its just one of those things I won't understand unless I'm in their shoes.

Had my helmet strapped to my back rest, and just pulled onto the highway, no biggie right ?

Cept here in Cali, you gotta wear a lid. Get pulled over within 1 min of getting on the road, thinking why does the sun feel sooo right ? Touching my head I realize, shit no helmet, I think this stop it's a set up, the chick was super model hot, and on a motorcycle ! She was smiling and telling me how nice my bike looked, by the end of our brief encounter, she reminds me, not tickets me, that helmets are the law. No shit.

I've got a buddy that was a motor jock and a neighbor that is one for the Capitol Police. They've told me guys are standing in line waiting to become a motorcycle cop. Just something about the mystique and the macho image I think. My buddy also rode (still does) in his off duty time but the neighbor doesn't.

Had a dream 2 nites ago...I was entered into a Motoman pylon race against the clock with the ratmaze of tyt turns.

 

I rode a 2014 Chieftain in that dream and it felt real as right now.

 

Never scraped a floorboard, where as the Cops were grinding metal at every turn.

 

Chieftain turned quicker and sharper than the warthogs could ~ best elapsed time = Chieftain.

 

Woke up packin' wood & feeling great & wishing I could have recorded that one.

[maninbox]

My conversations with motorcycle policemen are usually along the lines of "do you know why I pulled you over" and "keep your hands where I can see them".

[darkrider]

I have to admit those electa glides looked pretty cool decked out in their police gear.

[Brock]

never had an arrogant attitude or bad interaction with mounted police officers...almost entirely they were either just doing their job or complimenting me on my bike.

Just encountered one this morning in a traffic circle, riding a BMW. Passed me in the curb lane and stopped at a red light. I pulled up beside him - he looked over - gave me a big smile and a "good morning". I said: "you gotta have the best job in the (Edmonton Police) Service." His smile got bigger and he replied: "I've got nothing to complain about!". Like any group of people, you'll have some uptight dickwads and, hopefully, a lot more who are just regular folks.

Nice. I got pulled over by a real hottie once too! She was super polite & let me off with a nice warning. I actually would have been ok with a ticket, arrest, and handcuffs. JK ;-)

Motorcycle officer on a BMW police bike was in line next to me waiting to board the ferry once . . . I started the conversation with "When are you guys gonna switch to Indians? They look great in black and white." He just smiled, said "I wish" and it was time to board.

 

I've had a couple of officers in their squad cars on the island stop and talk to me. I pulled up to the Safeway and was parking next to a handicap spot . . . my spot wasn't exactly a parking spot, but it was convenient. A black and white pulls up perpendicular to me right behind me, I can see the window coming down and I'm thinking "Shit! What did I do now?" when he says - "Nice ride!" Smiles, hits his lights, and is off to the next emergency.

Leticia, does not know, it will be our little secret. I had told her of being pulled over, but not the super model part. Funny, I have never seen that cop again either, and lake Tahoe is a small town.

[CHIEF DOC 99]

Maybe it was a candid camera spot, and she wasn't a real cop at all?

 

We get the fake cop lunatics around here a lot.

[darkrider]

but how would we know if their a real motorcycle cop?

 

I got my suspicions about this one

Here in Houston on almost any visit to Stubbs HD on the south side, there will be a city PD or Sheriff motorcycle cop or two, or more,,,, checking their bikes in or out of the service department or just to come by for a fast service on something with the bike. They are ALWAYS real talkative and pretty darned nice. I've always noticed that. I've had some friendly discussions with a couple of em briefly about bikes. Funny really, if your not used to it. I've come to expect it through the years now.

 

And,,, I've always felt that it's a safe bet your taking your bike to a good place if it's the same place the motorcycle cops do.

24) Hamburgers are awesome when you haven't had anything to eat for most of your shift.

52) Pepper spray works on just about everybody.

53) If you have used pepper spray on somebody and it didn't work, be ready for one helluva fight.

55) When the fight is on, all of the techniques you learned with a PR-24 go out the window and you use it like the old fashion billy club anyway.

56) Most thugs will answer "Where do you live?" with "Up da skreet."

57) A mad woman will tell you where their baby's daddy's weed/guns/stolen stuff is to get them arrested and then will bail them out the next day.

58) When some cops make sergeant they feel that they shouldn't have to do anymore police work because they need to "be ready" if something big happens that requires their supervision.

59) Police agencies don't communicate enough with each other to solve crime.

60) A very small percentage of people take up a large percentage of the police's time.

61) Cops and nurses like each other.

62) Husbands of women cops normally can't handle the fact that their wife is a cop, so a woman cop would be better off to just marry another cop.

63) People will ask a cop for his/her opinion on a legal issue and then want to argue with them about their opinion.

64) People will call 911 for ANYTHING.

65) I never bothered to learn how much time a suspect could get for a certain crime because they almost never get sentenced to the full amount anyway.

72) A cop that writes a ticket to everybody he stops usually has some self-esteem issues.

73) Fear keeps people from doing the right thing.

74) The "mob mentality" will make otherwise law-abiding people behave as thugs.

75) Apathy is way too common in our society.

76) If cops only knew what other cops know, we could reduce crime better than what we are doing. We DO NOT communicate well with each other, and some believe that knowledge is power if it's withheld. Knowledge is only powerful when disseminated.

77) There is nothing more exciting than hunting for a fugitive on the run.

78) There are THREE sides to every story. One side, then the other side, then there's the whole truth.

79) The only thing that shocks me anymore is ELECTRICITY!

[Blu]

80) If you find yourself looking for decent food in a crappy area, ask a cop

81) Cops will arrive at a party with booze confiscated from some kid ( true story)
