I remember back in the early '70s when the CHP was trying out other manufacturers for bikes. At the local Chevron hangout, we all turned to look at an officer riding by, and wondered at the strange exhaust note. They all rode Harleys before that. It was a Moto Guzzi. Then there were some Honda 750s, and finally the Kawasakis. One of my friends worked for the LAPD, and he told me that in a pursuit, if an officer laid a Honda down, it was scrap. If it was a Harley, they put new skid plates on it and sent it back to work. I had a Harley and laid it down in '72, taking a corner too fast on a mountain road, sliding off that road (sand on the road
) and down an embankment. Fortunately, I didn't make it to the water at the bottom. Rode it home bent up, and managed to pull the left handlebar out sorta straight by putting my foot by the fork and pulling it down.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
