    How come police escorts always use bikes? Could they do the exact same job in cars? Just seems like the main reason they even bother having cop bikes is for escort stuff.

    bikes can filter heavy traffic moving ahead of the motorcade. this lets them control intersections as necessary to keep a motorcade moving rather than stuck in a traffic jam waiting to get nailed.

    I called another bombthreat in to Fines Enforcement this morning, but it's probably a coincidence.

    What is best in life? Troll the forums, see the threads derailed before you and hear the lamentations of the moderators.

    Riding past with a fender eliminator should take care of that.

    Would this have anything to do with Dingo's Facebook status?
