Fast Motorcycles For City Police Work Highlighted
An article by J Avexander Youwa argues motorcycles offer economy, maneuverability, and long life for police work and deliveries. Citing Indian Motorcycle Co data, about 20,000 police and military bikes operate on U.S. roads with 35,000 commercial machines and 90,000 sport riders. Pennsylvania Highway Patrol chief Captain Wilson C Price endorses motorcycles for patrol, noting one motorcycle officer can replace five foot cops and stressing safe pursuit tactics. The piece mentions left-hand throttle as a key feature used by the Pennsylvania unit for speed control during chases.
