The ones on the slide will not let me copy. Would really like to have a few pictures that use the Interstate model.Another plus would be if you know the state / city / town of the Valkyrie Police motorcycle picture anyone might have. http://www.valkyrienorway.com/Police.html |

These are pretty old (2000 or 2001 by my reckoning, woulda been at the Big Texas Toy Run), and are the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) police... (Dag - Ifn ya' see this and want the pics, you're welcome to 'em...)  (Me on one of the Dallas DART Police Valks)    |

Cobra and Two Brothers six into six are the best soundin' exhaust system on a Valkyrie in my opinion . Maybe he was going for that " Loud Pipes Save Lifes " deal ???  |

If you use Windows, and you're looking at an image on your screen, and you can't save it to a file for whatever reason (I think those slide things are flash)... mash the "PrtSc" (printscreen) button, open up paint and mash "paste"... you'll have it...  -Mike "police Valkyrie picture" |

Iirc, there was a discussion I read a couple of years ago concerning Police Valks in Texas. Seems the Valks were owned by the Officers that rode them. They were allowed to perform any mods they wanted within reason, that would cover the Cobra exhausts and bag rails. The dept. covered fuel, maintenance and maybe insurance. In addition, I think after 3-5 years in service, the Valks had to be retired.

More along the lines of the officers were paid to supply their own motorbikes. Hence a Valk with 6x6 pipes. Raymond |

Thanks Greg  I put the pipes and did the carbs on this one, at Hagen's old shop in Corpus Christi. The officer went with a Harley lease deal and wanted us to fix up his Valk like Hagen's. I delivered it to his house and got some odd stares on the way over. After he turned the Harley back in he just put his cop stuff back on the Valk. I still see him patrolling on this bike. |

I'm not "against" a Police bike having a good sounding exhaust on it... I just find it comical that a lack of consistency is displayed at times. And... it just strengthens the case for the regular guy to be able to choose too. |

I think he put the baffles in when he put the Valk back in service. It's not that loud. Local cops don't hassle bikers over loud pipes, anyhow. A bunch of Reguladores LEO MC run loud pipes. |
