Re: Police biker?
This bike had Met Police written on it and had the blue light at the back and blue strobes at the front. He was also wearing a met police high viz jacket and his helmet said Met police on it as well as having a nurburgrign sticker. I spent a few minutes sat behind him in traffic before so had a good look. I guess it might not have been a BMW but it was a flat twin so chances are it is. It just looked totally out of place as it was an older bike ridden by someone who seemed very nervous/inexperienced.
In contrast coming back from Supervoxes BBQ a couple of years back I saw a gold ZX10R being ridden by a Met Police officer. I was doing 90 and he went past me doing.....well... alot more than that. |

Re: Police biker?
You should have pulled him over and suggested he got some extra training from IAM or other
 Obviously not who Ian was thinking about. |

Re: Police biker?
Very unlikely that the Police would be using a 'Y' reg.

Re: Police biker?
The oldest bikes we have are 2 BMW 850s even there on 53 plates.

Re: Police biker?
The chap I know has a BMW R850, ex police bike, doesn't have 'jam sandwich' or any lights, but has got high vis all over the bike.
He lives near guildford and have seen him a few times about. I assumed you has seen him in guildford too! |

Re: Police biker?
To be fair, I've been working in Brentford for 2 years and that was the 1st time I've ever seen him. Not seen the guy in Guildford as I don't live in Guildford and very rarely go there to be honest.
