Oklahoma has 2 Busa's. Their riders and equipment go to the Keith Code superbike schools for training, as well as regularly attending other race schools and various trackdays. They are active working enforcement units that are also used as an outreach to the sportbike riding community to foster better relations. The program is so succesful they are adding more as they receive them through drug seizures. I understand they may be at a trackday I am doing in September. Woooohoooo running from the highway patrol legally.
