    Default Police Spyder

    On the way into San Antonio yesterday, I saw a police cycle, lite up, stopping a speeder. As I got closer I saw it was a white RT with the usual police lights, radios etc. First one I have seen. S.A. officers normally ride Gold Wings and Harleys. It looked great.


    I traded my 2014 RT for a 2017 Mr. White RT-S. I am George Lewis. I live two miles from Boerne, TX. I am 89, retired USAF and Sony Corp. I also have a GW MotorTrike. My email: scoot62@aol.com

    I went to a local cycle gear store and a cop was in there talking with the sales lady.

    They asked my about my Spyder, when I was done answering she showed me a picture from their Facebook page. This cop showed up to a function they had the previous weekend.

    In my opinion I think the would make an excellent police vehicle. The three wheels and the added safety features are also a bonus.

    The first thing the cop said was "how can he pass cars in traffic".

    I can see that holding them back from using them.

    Default Maybe

    When I bought my RT Limited the first thing the Chief of Police said to me was "Wow!!! That would be an awesome addition to our fleet". Just maybe. Got to get him on it to sell the whole package.

    The London Ontario Police tried them up here for 6 months and abandoned the idea as they can't thread through traffic as well as a two wheel. But the Cops that rode them loved them
