Motorcycle Troopers Return To Cincinnati
Police Haven't Used Motorcycles Since '50s
POSTED: 5:04 pm EDT June 3, 2007
CINCINNATI -- Troopers are once again patrolling the Cincinnati-area's highways on motorcycles -- the first time the Highway Patrol has used two-wheels to respond to accidents and chase down speeders in the region since the 1950s.
Highway patrolmen set out on Interstate 275 and Interstate 75 on Friday, spokesman Lieutenant Tony Bradshaw said.
Troopers started riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles in and around Columbus last summer, with state officials predicting that car accidents will be cleaned up quicker since the more maneuverable motorcycle troopers can weave through congested traffic and arrive on scene faster than patrol cars.
Troopers spent a month last year patrolling Cincinnati's highways on the Harleys, and data encouraged officials to make the trial program permanent.
With the new addition, the highway patrol has 16 motorcycles serving two metropolitan areas in Ohio.
Motorcycle officers made 3,257 stops throughout the state -- including the Cincinnati-area -- between June 1 and Sept. 30 last year. Of those stops, 843 people were given citations for aggressive driving-type infractions.
When the State Highway Patrol first took to the streets in 1933, nearly all 60 officers rode motorcycles. Harsh winters, safety concerns and the need to carry more equipment forced the patrol to abandon bikes for cars in 1956.
This time around, troopers have received a heavy dose of training and safety instruction. Officers will also receive leather jackets with the Harley-style fringe and chaps for the colder days, Sgt. Eric Widmyer said.
Congrats on the new ride Jumper!
Actually, GL, aren't you in reference to the "Federal Government's Mansion"?
Just kidding, don't say anything to Trav, he'll get pissed-off again....

Actually, when Lincoln seized the property to make the cemetery, if it had been me I would have had the mansion burned to the ground.
That statue at the end of the driveway must be tough to keep clean.

Let's see....

Jumper,
Since you're a bad biker dude now, consider this your official invitation to to join the Ohio Veterans River Run on June 23.
Ride starts at Aces & Eights in Mason ($10 single/$15 double) with kick stands up at 12:00. Ride ends at Rivertime Canoe in Morrow where Rolling Thunder Chapter 9-OH is putting on a festival. All funds raised go to support veterans and veteran issues.
The rest of you are invited, too. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'm not knocking what Gae and Trav do with their biker projects, because I do respect that they get involved in it, but the one thing that's missing from their act is more stunt work. I know that they wear their leather and denim and all that, but the fact is, anyone who was a kid in the late 70s (as I was) knows that the only true motorcycle uniform is all white with blue & red stripes and stars.
In other words, I'm all for Gae and Trav roadie-ing east to Washington, D.C. for some rolling thunder action, but would it hurt them to stop at King's Island en route and jump 14 Greyhounds?

Gae-
OK that's fine and all, but assuming I did show up, what will you be wearing?
Lewbabe,
You'll be able to find me either place -- I'll be the one in the Rolling Thunder vest. [img]smile.gif[/img] Please wear those really cute plaid shorts and the pink shirt, OK?
Hey! Anyone want to take a $10.00 chance on a mini-chopper? Only 300 tickets will be sold, and it will be on display this Saturday at (HEY LEW!!!!!) Railroad Days in Morrow, and again next weekend at Rivertime. The drawing will be at the Hill Climb in October.
Since you brought up stunt work, props go to Trav for keeping us alive on I-75. There was the moron who was driving a rental truck and hauling a car, who decided to change lanes while dialing his cell phone. Hello shoulder! And then there was the major moron who was cruising down 75 at 80 mph with a magazine propped on his steering wheel. Gotta a love it.
LewBaby, buy a bike and see the world.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's a great 1st bike, same one I had. You will get about a year or so out of it before it shrinks.Quote:

Hello! I also recently bought myself a motorcycle, a Harley Davidson. To be honest, I'm very happy with the purchase and it's probably the best I've spent a large amount of money in a while. Recently I also wanted to buy some accessories for my iron horse but before that I decided to look for a little information about them and came across this interesting article about Harley Davidson Accessories
Here I found a lot of useful information about accessories for Harley Davidson. I advise you to pay attention!
