The R1200RS of the London Metropolitan Police

Some nice screengrabs of the RS from today's video of the escort for HRH Prince William and Family.

   
   
   
   
   



Very nice Jubilee celebration, BTW. Classy as expected.

Blue lights on a blue bike. I'll get some in a few years when the market is up.

Motorcycist in a motorcade.... Reportedly, not a great job - other than getting to ride. One of the fellows I trained with was pretty severely injured while riding a lead motorcycle for a presidential motorcade in DC. Something about one's ability to stop DC traffic with a 2-wheeled vehicle.

Were you there?
My impression is that good Canadians can still appreciate a brush with Royalty.

In the 2nd picture it looks like the bike has a GS Possum Scraper, front fender extender and a Avant Guard.
Sure would be nice if BMW had a similar City Lid available like the police bikes have.

Unfortunately I wasn’t there but would have loved to have been.

I was raised in a British colony, then emigrated to Canada, a so called Dominion of the Commonwealth whose head of state is the Queen. Yes it’s old fashioned and all that but I have great admiration and respect for the Queen, even more than the monarchy.
