Unmarked bikes

[MikeO996]

We were passed this afternoon at very high speed by three unmarked bikes with blue lights hidden in their headlights and rear lights. Police or something else?

I was passed by a fast car the other day, any ideas?

Was this in Cyprus?

[SantaBarbara]

Maybe ambulance bikes for the Tour of Britain

Fakers? Embassy escort? Who knows (who cares!)

Warwickshire

They may have been on loan. From a manufacturer to a police training school

They could have been for VIP convoy escorting

They could have been Royal Military Police

They may have been for the Tour of Britain, which starts soon?

[SantaBarbara]

Military convoy escorts?

Police Scotland use unmarked bikes on the A82/83/84/85 to catch bikers who use these roads as their personal race track. There are signs warning about this at at least one location.

Anywhere near a army depot?

They do have regular convoys between Aldermaston and Royal Navy base in Scotland

But would any of those hide the blues so carefully?
I'm thinking MI5 having read Soldier Spy recently.

Quite common, see ametallic red thing the other week at M25/A41 junction lighting someone up.

One used to prowl the A12, Fireblade i believe it was called, sorry, not that up on bikes.

A few years back I saw one of these, a Honda Blackbird if my memory serves me right.

Avon & Somerset Constabulary had blue unmarked bikes with concealed blue lights approximately 20 years ago.

We have loads in Hampshire with hidden blues. Nothing new.

[Grunt Futtock]

East Yorks TrafPol have an unmarked ZZR1400 and I'm sure I've seen some unmarked bikes in North Yorks as well.

They were so carefully hidden that you saw them?

More likely to have been military these days
