Cops have rights too

bmwrights

BMW makes motorcycles for police that are clearly superior to the competition.

I was really bummed several years ago when the Indiana State Police launched their motorcycle officer program with Harley-Davidsons. The superintendent of state police at the time was a BMW rider, which makes it all the more alarming that the bid specs were written to favor Harley.

My Thorntown friend Larry Parker’s daughter and son-in-law’s two BMW dealerships, doing business under the name of BMW Motorcycles of Western Oregon, have contracts with several police agencies for authority bikes. I was pleased to notice that the police in Sierra Vista, Ariz. ride BMWs.

Here’s a BMW ad targeting police agencies that I found amusing. Especially the last sentence.
