Default Just A Heads Up... New Bike Cops...

Not sure how soon, but I heard from a good source that Pasco County will be opening a new police bike patrol soon... while this may not sound like anything new, it is.. ( or at least to me, since I have never heard of it. )

They are going to use crotch rockets to patrol... One of their main bikes will be Suzuki Gsxr's...

HCSO has a couple painted up, slammed down, streched out Busa's. They were doing undercover stuff on for the street racing scene. They have a couple clean Honda street cars they use as well.

If these follow suit of whatother departments have done they will be clearly marked. And I somehow doubt they'll be much more of a threat than the police Harleys. Sure, they're faster, but there is only so aggressive they're gonna let the cops be on a 2-wheeled vehicle.

But if they come up behind you on a straightaway....stop.

Honestly, it's WAY cheaper than running the chopper, and this way they still keep you in their sights. At least until a 4 wheeled vehicle gets close enough. I hope they know not to try the PIT manuver with a motorcycle.

I'm sure one cop is gonna mash the throttle and send himself into a vehicle at 140 and that will be the end of that.

Unless they're following the same no pursuit on motorcycle rules that they do now.

I do not know what policies they plan to implement, I was mainly trying to give a heads up on a new item to look out for when on the road.

I already saw a Pasco Deputy on what looked like a brand new, sporty bike. Not a crotch rocket, but not a Harley either. It was like a BMW sport touring type of bike (I'm not a bike guy, not sure). He was in uniform and it was marked though.

With budget cuts though, units like these are going to be going byby
