I will do my best to help you understand it since you asked. A bullet can go through a car door, a car windshield, a car window, a bumper and various other things the cop is surrounded by in his patrol car. If, like I stated before, the assailant pulls a gun, the officer sitting in the car has nothing but a windshield between him and a bullet to the chest or head, which just so happen to be the main targets of opportunity when shooting a weapon at someone. Yes, he can duck like you said, but all the assailant has to do now is walk over to the car and shoot through one of the windows, while the officer is still stuck in his vehicle having a difficult time removing his weapon from his holster because it is hard to pull it out while sitting down with a seat belt on. Especially if you are ducking to your right which is causing you to lay on your weapon, unless you are left handed of course. Therefore, if the cop steps out to the side of his car and orders the person to do something, he can then retreat to the rear of the vehicle if necessary where there is a better chance of him getting cover from the possibility of gun fire. This also depends on how far away the cop is from the bike. If he leaves a lot of room, I mean like 8 car lengths, then maybe I can see the officer choosing to use the mic to direct the vehicle operator what to do from the patrol car.

I understand where you are coming from regarding the officers vulnerability while sitting in the vehicle if the perp were already off the bike or standing. I guess from that video though I am thinking the guy is still sitting on the bike and the officer is not really threatened so he could order the perp to raise hands, get off bike and lay down or something. Know that I think about it, a police officer could not duck to the side much at all with all the gear they wear and all the electronics in the center of current patrol cars. OK, I understand your logic for wanting to exit the vehicle instead of being a sitting duck. Thanks

Cops should not having anything except pepper spray and a taser.

Good job Newb, trying to stir up some shit with stupid comments. You can't be serious with what you just wrote. Just because a few cops make bad decisions as we all do on occasion, that does not mean that all police should not carry guns. If you were a police officer would you want to confront violent criminals with pepper spray and a taser? I doubt it. Deadly force is warranted in many situations. This shooting is the exception, not the norm. Are you a recent transplant from California or someplace like that?

In my opinion, which means nothing to some I am sure, that would be a bad idea for the cop. He is in a very vulnerable position sitting in his patrol car. If you were to have a gun and pull it quickly the officer would have zero reaction time. But again, this is just my opinion and... sorry for the thread jack.

Please help me understand your thought process. A motorcyclist is sitting on a bike where he can turn his torso approximately 90 degrees and The cop would be vulnerable. Isn't he sitting in his patrol car where he could duck behind a shitload of steel, plasic, glass and such instead of outside of the patrol car with nothing but his bullet proof vest? I'm confused by your thinking. If I thought someone might take a shot at me I would rather be surrounded by other stuff that may absorb some energy of the bullet or deflect it completely before it hits me instead of being an easy target approaching the subject in the open.

Sold!

When I saw your "considering next move thread" I was thinking that your next move should be to sell both bikes you have now and buy this baby. It really is a sweet bike. As for you offer, you got a deal if there enough bun left from the subway club to insert kana-tuna and a slice of chez? Me likey some tuna melts.

I'll trade you the kana-tuna for it and a half eaten subway club sandwich... that's all I gots...

Can't seem to make it on Mondays due to the wifes work schedule but we were in the area on Sunday and had to try it out due to the recomendations from OR members. Tried the pulled pork pizza for something different and LOVED it. Barbecue sauce instead of standard pizza sauce, YUMMY!!!!! Hope to catch some of you out there on a Monday eve.

Come on, that's pocket change for you ballaz in Powell. If the weather is clear Wednesday it will be up at Quaker Steak & Lube in Charity Lane parking spot #22 if you want to see it in person. It's worth checking out even if you are a poor schlep like me and can't afford to own such a sweet ride. Huge f$%ing tire and 117 cube engine. BAD ASS!!!

Beastly, I wish I had the cash

DO NOT MESS WITH THIS BIKE UNLESS YOU WANT IT FOR PARTS. The bike is stolen or the guy is upside down in it and owes a shitload of money to a bank and can't pay it off right now in order to get you the title.

I don't know the specifics but I think I am fairly close here. If a mechanic takes a bike in for service and then the owner does not pay they can put a mechanics lien on the bike and apply for title owning the unclaimed bike in something like 60 days if there is not another outstanding lien to a bank. If anyone knows more about this do tell.

That Blows. Hopefully you heal up quickly and will be riding sooner than July.

Hope the hand is good Moose. Sad to see you wreck the Can-A-Tuna. That thing was really nice. Hopefully a few new items and it will be good as new again. Then maybe you can sell it and get a real sport bike.

Sam

You'll have to excuse me, I just got off the short bus. I should have figured that out. Thanks Likwid.

Amsoil EAOM109 filter with Amsoil 10W/40 Motorcycle oil. Excellent filter and oil.

My dad was pushing for it. besides, some customers didn't think it was as funny as others.

I figured you were probably getting pressured to change it from higher up in the organization but I had to ask.

I had too!!

Why???

Im gonna have to change the oil in all the bikes to get em back out might see how good you can treat me on price to try an amsoil switch.
