I believe some cities give the cops a budget and then they own the bike. More info from someone who knows?

Just had to bring this back to the top. I'm here at the tattoo shop my buddy owns in McKinney and start talking to the guy that's getting tattooed after me.
Turns out it was the guy in this video ! His name is Donnie Williams and he is a super cool guy. We were laughing about all the comments that were posted on the video and on here. He seems like a really modest and down to earth guy.
Just thought I'd get on here and post a non-FTP comment. Haha !

a very close friend of mine is a motor jock for a city in the metroplex. he has been riding cruisers for over 10 years but has only been a motor jock for maybe a year or two most
i don't think it takes much to be a motorcop except for having a mc endorsement(of course). another buddy of mine will be attending the school for it and he has only been riding for maybe a couple years and has put only about 8k on his personal bike in that time. from what my buddy says is it's all about the school, it's a minimum of 80hours and from what he said 95% of it is out on the bike
oh about owning the bike, at my buddies department the city owns it but after they take it out of service he has first 'dibs' on buying it if he wants

that stuff is no joke. I bet 99% of the riders on here couldnt do that course on a Kawi 125cc eliminator much less a fully dressed harley. I've never had any problems with a motorcycle cop much less a regular cop. Pretty interesting how when you dont break any laws, go the speed limit, and keep your tags current how they dont pull you over. CRAZY isnt it!!!
