Wow - a gun rack on a barge - putting ( presumably ) loaded firearms in full view with easy access to relieve , of the general public and standing inner city traffic - totally awesome , cool and wonderful - ooooh such big guns too ....!
They will be locked on, and they won't be loaded. And in the US the sight of a shotgun in public doesn't make people st their pants.

I guess your one of the people who did one u turn for your test and hasn't been able to do one since then? Being able to handle a big bike like that is far more skilled, impressive and useful than "I must of hit 120 over the car and fiddle on my giiixxxaaar thou".

Haha - pretty much , all of the above - I saw a spud gun left unattended in the playground once and am still receiving counselling and the impact of that first day that the the stabilisers were removed from my tricycle ( I'm really that bad !) haunt me to this day .......pretty much spot on ! smile

You twonk, of course the thing will be loaded. Do you think the copper will call a 'time out' if some nut job starts shooting so he can load x amount of rounds? But definitely locked to the bike though.

Next time I'm in the US and see a bike copper, I'll ask. It's not their primary gun. They have a pistol on a hip holster. They only bring out the shotgun or the AR-15 for "tricky situations" wink In patrol cars they keep the shotgun/rifle in the boot so that's not quick access either.

I went out on the bike today. It rained, I went home. If only I could ride round a load of cones in the local school playground I'd be happy.

I've only just got back home - started out well enough dry and crisp - then the rain a mile in to the endurance ride of the year - well, my helmet disintegrated , my tyres dissolved and my ammo boxes filled up - resulting in a very metallic and bumpy virtual wheelie all the way to my house.
Then my head exploded.
Not risking that again - see you in Spring !
