I see the pro's and con's to patrolling on car and on motorcycle.

 

Yes, both have their goods and bads. In the extremely hot summer months patrolling on a bike all day with no break from the weather can really get to you. Not to mention wearing a bullet resistant vest, sitting directly on top of a hot motor all day, then getting off it only to stand on the hot asphalt when speaking with a driver and/or penning out a ticket. At the end of the day I'm completely exhausted.

You should see the killer farmer's tan I'm sporting right now I look like a raccoon with brown arms all summer :o

 

hahaha.....plus motorcycles are so dangerous. I feel much safer in a car, but bikes are awesome! I think sitting in the A/C was meant for me.

 

Ditto! That is why I don't ride our Harley Davidson much at all on Patrol! Idiot people fail to get out of my way in a Fully Marked CVPI with lights & Siren Blaring when responding to an accident or Emergency call! I feel much safer in my 2008 CVPI, with cold AC & my computer, & stereo!........
