There isn't one on the bike like the TEG bikes have. Not sure if the bikes are marked with the call sign i.e. on the radio.
The thing I'm curious about though is the bikes in general, what's in the 2 rear compartments of the bike?

Compartments are actually called panniers.

They hold items such as Ticket Book, Work Order Book, Ticket Book, Laser, Ticket Book, Wet Weather Clothing, Ticket Book, Spare radio cords, Ticket Book, Jacket liners, Ticket Book, Water Bottle, Ticket Book, Lunch, Ticket Book, Torch, Ticket Book, Preliminary Breath Tester, Ticket Book

Did i mention Ticket Book? :twisted:

Ooo, toottoot no good picking on someone that has access to a taser...they hurt or so an officer let on who used the stun feature on himself "just to test it". Besides on Australia day when I last saw a M/B close up TE706 I believe it was had what looked like a Garmin GPS. Is that standard issue?

If your bike is in for a service or to have minor repairs done, are you office bound or in a car. I assume they wouldn't have spare bikes for such occasions?
