Newport News is in Virginia and in the summer it's over 40C most days and pretty humid.
Could you ride all day with a bike jacket and full face lid on?
I saw a Californian Police GTR at LA Airport in June. Asked for and got permission to take some pics.
Interesting mods to the bike, especially the lockable slip for the shotgun, the camera mounts and LOTS of lights!

Hold yer horses thar! I'm getting there.
Shotgun is under his crash helmet in a forward facing mount.
I asked someone on the US forum about that and it's so that they are not tempted to draw it whilst riding.
It is locked into the mount too so someone else can't steal it.

It's bad enough cleaning a standard bike after a bit of rain.... if you've got a shotgun thats been out in the wet to sort out that'll be an hour at the end of the shift taken up   :gunsmilie:

It doesn't rain that often in LA and to my knowledge they never salt the roads.
Besides many Americans LOVE cleaning their weapons.  :cool:
