That's what a cop friend said to me when I had my Camaro "you can't out run the radio"
I still would like to know what they did to the engine on this thing, I know it isn't stock.

Our cops know how to roll. 
You should see those guys lane split on the freeway. Poetry in motion. I would never try to outrun a CHP motor officer.
I don't know if it's still required, but to pass CHP motor school, prospects used to have to do one final move:
Take a test bike into a controlled low side, dismount during the slide while pulling a sidearm, and then use the bike as cover.

Man, that is crazy.

While the crotch maybe faster, from my point of view the crotch rocket rider in not nearly as skilled as a CHP motor officer. If by chance the crotch rocket was able to elude a motor officer, you still can't out run a radio, not to mention to long of violations they re in for.

According to http://www.policemag.com/blog/vehicl...forcement.aspx
The police Electra Glide cycles bear many similarities to the civilian versions, including the V-twin 103cc engine, and have been upgraded for police use. The dealer is changing out the stock cam for H-D's SE-255 Cam kit to increase torque and "give it a bit more out of the hole, more horsepower, and more top-end speed," Genthner said.
The bikes also include a robust charging system, heated hand guards and grips, and a push-to-talk system.
