Some cops have passions like you or I. I don't like to brag about what I can ride, but I know of a local cop who can drop 8" on Police issued HT and pull a one hander mid flight to check his watch. He didn't learn that from any bike cop school, but he does have the skill. I'm sure he's not the only one like that. I think it's always good to under estimate than over - keeps you from embarresment, or being caught.
