Bryn, what sort of bike did you have at work? I'm fire and I see a few big cities out west have dual purpose bikes that act in a first responder mode as they can get through traffic easier before the other fire units arrive. I'd love to do that but my city is not all the large. Any fire dept. bikes in the UK that you know of?
Thanks for the warm welcome folks
We had FJR1300's , before that we were using ST1100 Pan Euro's.... We did have an FJR in our workshops a couple of years ago being kitted out as a fire bike, but when it went I don't know what happened to it or if it was put into service ....
Here's two from a couple of years ago, covering a soldiers funeral ... he'd been killed in Afghanistan . I'm the one on the right as you view the picture.. There were literally thousands of people lining the route, and the cortege was walked through Melton Mowbray for at least a couple of miles .
