The Police Drill Team is spectacular !! I know it takes a lot of practice to achieve this kind of feat ! But I can't imagine what it really takes to have that kind of dedication and perseverance .
Then the ability to perform at shows and events, time after time, without a spill !!! This HAS to be extremely demanding, it goes without saying, dangerous as well.
These groups certainly deserve some serious praises for their efforts. And to imagine its only for entertainment. WOW !!
We don't hear too much anymore about these dedicated riders. I've seen the several of these teams over the years. The McLaglen Drill Team, The Cossacks in Seattle, Tinino Drill Team,
and The Los Angeles Police Drill Team. and a few more. The teams vary widely in their expertise and skills. Some regions across the country offer opportunities to interested riders wishing to hone their skills for exhibition.
More information available on Google.

Go to vlheaven.com to see the newsreel of 1935 bikes being tested at 100 mph.

I don't know if the sidecar had decorative slits (I don't know the correct English name for the black stripes)
