I was thinking its great they are using scooters ;).

Seriously I suspect they are WAY better in traffic and with built-in storage it's an easy choice. Plus the Piaggio X10 is obviously the best scooter around :D

Until the master cylinder fails :D but I do agree don't understand why scooters are not used by the police here for town work (they would have to be SYM's of course)

Can you imagine the reaction of a typical Brit bike cop on being told he had to ride a scooter???? He'd resign on the spot!

Jon and Ponch used to ride around in short sleeved shirts, but did have rather nice leather boots and jodhpurs. (CHiPS)
