Milwaukee celebrates 100 years of motorcycle mounted police




There were a host of motorcycles lined up in front of Harley-Davidson’s famous museum, but they weren’t for sale or part of any exhibit.

It was a roll call taken by the Milwaukee Police Department who were marking a century on two wheels on Thursday.



Quote from the article:
Police forces enjoyed one of the first specialty motorcycles built by the Milwaukee motorcycle manufacturer. Today, as many as three thousand police forces in forty-five countries ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
