Glad to hear that the officer will recover.
Couldnt tell what bike he was riding, was it a Beemer or something else?

Let's hope he has a full recovery.

I believe he will. Did you see the pickup in the video? He hit it hard. He's lucky to be alive.

Glad the officer is expected to recover from such a bad accident.

That where the Goldwing with an airbag may come in handy. I wonder how much it would have helped?

I wonder how much it would have helped if the cop had face shield/visor of his flip up down (he sustained facial injuries). He didn't.

The goldwing wouldn't be my first choice for a cop bike. At over 900 lbs and as long as it is, it's a bit much. Depending on the type of duty and where geographically, I'd want to use a Electraglide standard or what I ride now. May be a C14, but I'd have to try it.

It would be too heavy bit I do like the idea of an airbag just for this type of accident.
