Not quit 40 years ago but close.
That show ran from 1977-1983.

I alway's remember it for the front shot's of the 2 of them riding side by side having a conversation,while bouncing up and down in unison,it all became clear when on one episode i could see the trailer mudguard's come into view

Actually they had (12) twelve 2006 Police Motorcycles new with Zero Miles on them left over in the WareHouse in 2009 -- they got permission to sell them to the Public and my Local Dealer Power Sports got them all -- I was lucky to get the 12th one and it was half the price of the retail for the current version -- they also installed new tires and battery -- I added the extended 7 Year unlimited Warranty on it, so it is still under warranty.

I like customizing my Motorcycles, so added CB Radio, Gear Position Indicator Unit, 5-Inch GPS, of coarse went Darkside as I do for all my Motorcycles, Custom Rear Crash Guards, Scan Mirrors to eliminate Blind Spots, Modulating Head Light, PIAA Driving Lights, LED Low Beam Deer Lights, Tire Pressure Monitoring, Engine Hour Meter, Battery Minder, Voltmeter, Heated Grips, ETC, ETC

Just love this Motorcycle -- there may be faster, but this is an all rounded balanced package that does everything well.

Looks like a windshield of some sort.
What is its purpose?

Hi Verdana,

It is something I made out of 1/4-Inch Lexan to stop the back draft the Passengers get on Motorcycles. It even makes it more comfortable for the Rider as well.

I will not even begin to tell of all the Gadgets that I have installed on my Goldwing -- but will mention the latest Add-On as it has always annoyed me that my GoPro runes on Batteries and we have to stop to be able to turn it on.

So I have made up Bracket to Mount the GoPro centered between the Headlights and powered by the Motorcycle with a Remote WiFi Control that is able to turn it on or off at will.

The beemers are like that, but they are lighter. My RT is 570 with a full tank. The new water cooled RTs are around 600. I think the ST is about 700, may be slightly more. The Authority bikes tend to be a little heavier because of the extra gear. In the case of the RT-P, it has an extra battery too.

An acquaintance took these pics at a local dealer where the police where checking out the new RT-P.










The ST is probably, no, definitely a cheaper bike to maintain and more reliable over the long haul than the air cooled RTs, but the beemer is a very competent bike. As much as it pisses me off, when I ride it, I forget about what pissed me off. It's like a high maintenance german mistress that was a gymnast and is a freak in bed, whereas my Nomad was the girl next door that was a little porky, but pretty and dependable. Sometimes I miss that.

Most jurisdictions probably do buy HD, but those that do a lot of real highway duty get something else. If you read the motorcycle tests the LA County Sheriff and Michigan State Police do, it doesn't take long to understand why. BTW, BMW is supposed to be the #1 Authority bike in the world. I saw the Dutch Highway Patrol have K1600s. That's pretty cool.

BTW, my plate is 7M4.
