watching C.H.I.P.S. in the early 80's as a boy did me in.
i spent the next ten years convincing my parents to let me buy a bike.

We used to pretend that we were Ponch and John on our bicycles ... everyone always wanted to be Ponch.

yuuuuuuup! :dunno:

CHiPs: The New Generation

I just don't remember it that well, though I remember some interesting stunts on those dog Kawi cop bikes.

I used to watch reruns during the summer.  it came on right after Charlies Angels

i watch them.. if i see it on tv and nothing better i will watch it.

However as the seasons went by i think the story line went more predictable.

Oh well i like the pic of the CHP guy on a race bike.. i think that's too cool..

oops. this should have gone under the "why" thread.

after only two beers i get clumbsy.

My 'rents could get me to clean anything or do any odd job by hanging that show over my head.    My favroite episode starred Donny Most (Ralph Malph) :dunno: from Happy days as a satanic rock singer who drove a hearse- someone was trying to kill him.  

Love that pic!  So sweet!  I remember playing chips on bikes like it was only ten years ago!  Good memories.  Now we can play it on the real thing.

Today, the real CHiPs ride slick modern looking BMW 1200's.
LAPD, still drives those big old style Kawis. :dunno:
Last years Chinese new years parade was started by the LAPD doing a sort of motorcycle ballet. It was very cool. They were locking brakes and making the engines scream a bit. All while pulling off a well choreographed show. Not what I was expecting to see but I enjoyed it.

how hypocritical. if i did that i'd get a heavy ticket or arrested. this just shows the power abuse inherent in the system.



jk.   :lol:

I always wanted to be Ponch. Now I have a paunch, is that close enough?
 Here in Washington we have motorcycle cops. Washington Highway Motor Patrol - W.H.I.M.P.'s

I spend a fair bit of time in Malta, I think the coppers there must watch CHPS because they ride around in pairs doing a very good imitation, the really funny thing to me as they often pull into a pub for a swiftie!
