This was on the local TV news this morning. Evidently a motorcycle officer was hit by a motorist who said he didn'thear the cop on the bike.
&nbsp\\;
I think there are 42 bikes at $500 per bike.
&nbsp\\;
I hope I don't get pulled over in Oakland for my pipes.

&nbsp\\; don't get it......he did not hear the cop on the bike?&nbsp\\; Was the cop yelling as loud as he could? I wonder if they wll get "louder exhaust" for the patrol cars, you definetly can't hear a cop in a patrol car with the windows up.

Here in Pittsburgh, PA the city bike cops keep their bikes with them at all times. If a cop wants louder pipes the city splits the cost with the cop. Even cops know loud pipes save lives.
