I am an Operational Fire-fighter and 1 of a team of 4 Police Standard trained, Fire Bike Team, riders. We use this bike to promote road safety and advanced riding amongst Motorcyclists particularly. Targetting Schools, Clubs, Rideouts, Big Meets, Bike safe days etc etc etc. All part of Services' efforts to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries to bikers.




Has anyone else seen or heard of Fire Bikes before?

I think you will find these sort of promotional vehicles are normally loaned by the manufacturer FOC. I doubt the fire service has paid for this.

They just couldn't miss the irony could they.

Surely that few grand would of been better spent on training, rather than have someone ride around on a bike and talk safety.

I purchased a fire bike of the Northern Ireland Fire Srevice about 12 years ago, it was a heavily modified CG 125 kitted out with fire extinquishers, first aid and a fulll touring style fairing with a single seat conversion, the blue lights and siren were still fitted but didnt work and the extinquishers had been removed. Have no idea if or what it was used for but had less than 2k miles on it when I bought it (300 gbp) and was in as new condition .

Redoko, i cant see why a biker wouldnt want advice from an advanced rider. Its a whole other level of riding and can make you a faster and safer rider
