The
Complete Book Of Police And Military Motorcycles -
From
Pittsburgh's adoption of motorcycles for police use in 1909 to
Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing's 1916 pursuit of
Pancho Villa into Mexican territory on Harley-Davidson's, Indians
and Excelsior's to the deployment of motorcycles in both world
wars, this book tells the fascinating tale of these magnificent
machines from their 20th century beginnings to their current use
by police departments and militaries throughout the world. Joseph
Berk, author of The Gatling Gun, explores every aspect of police
and military motorcycles, including the history of their manufacture
by Harley-Davidson, Indian, Kawasaki, BMW, Honda and others; details
of their procurement by selected U.S. police departments; critiques
of the "Big Three" police models employed in the United
States from officers who have put them to the test; a detailed
outline of the intensive 10-day training program required of U.S.
motor officers; an inside look at how specific police departments
from Atlanta to L.A. utilize motorcycles on a day-to-day basis;
and a look at the specific makes and models used by Special Forces
and other military units from World War I through the turn of
the century and beyond.
