Who Rode Today?

Got the Busa out today , really great to get a decent ride on her , and what a sweet racer she is to ride fast .
We saw a cop bike turn out of a side road and follow us , so I got a few cars between me and him and everytime I was out of line of sight , we increased the gap , until I could safely disappear . Those pricks are out for us bikers for sure in my town . Even on quiet weekdays too , well he would of heard the L2 on song , and then gone !!

What a sweet bike . . . I bet that cop was peeved at your tactic of 'little by little', lol. He would have heard you on the hammer loud and clear too, not a thing he could do about it!
So what sort of bikes do the SA cops ride?
The very few police bikes here in Canterbury are BMW R1200RT-P, and Hondas in the North Island
I've done exactly the same tactic of getting away from them . . I think they know it's futile to try to chase lol.
The same over here , BMW 1200 twin , as it was today . Not sure if they have or planning on a stealth type of pursuit bike as I once heard rumors about . The BMW is pretty capable around town , and might be okay on some open roads , but not on the real crazy roads L2 eats up . I have seen them on the real crazy fast road also recently , one on the same BMW going the opposite direction , not long after I had been going crazy . They run a mobile laser speed detection device of some kind , so lucky I guess , because the next stop is a town with a big police station !!

I couldn’t ride today but my dogs took me for a walk around the block tonight after work and the spring has really kicked in here.
In saying that, we had snow last night down to 300 meters, brrrrrrr... but it cleared up and the Sun came out !

Our days for riding are very numbered here now, It is only supposed to get up to the '40s the next while and I don't see Nov getting warmer...
Bike has stabilizer in it and if this the end of the season, I'm prepared...I'll put new tires and sprockets on over the winter and do a real good cleaning,

That's not right, they should have to ride Vespa scooters...
I like the color scheme though.

Such a good looking bike. My favorite colors on the busa for sure!
Be fun if the cops ran that Gen 1 in SA , I rekon I could give them a good go , with my Ohlins and BST equipped lightweight L2 !!

They have to be quite a bit heavier with the added radio, siren and the bags I saw on the Oklahoma state patrol Busa. Wonder what they do to support the added electronics? Better alternator? Battery? I doubt they set the suspension up properly either.
Terry , you do know that picture of 'that police bike ' is a custom bike . Their have been police Busa's in use in USA as you state , I have seen them posted up here on the org . . Also I think Queensland or WA (Australia ) had a couple in use , then everything you said would apply to them , yes , packed with some type of arrest kit !!
Yes, it didn’t have any police mods. Maybe Sting owns it.
I think the first real one I knew about was a confiscated bike that they put to use on the highway patrol.
I think there is a clip about that , even on here . Man the cops were always confiscating stuff , like in Miami vice and those super powerful cocaine running boats , pretty wild !!Yes, it didn’t have any police mods. Maybe Sting owns it.
