Over the last several weeks (except for the week I was in Puerto Rico), I applied 10-minutes here and 15-minutes there and finally cropped and posted photos that I took during a motorcycle police riding competition (aka “police rodeo”). The photos…

Conversations with Cops
Most people are somewhat intimidated by police officers or sheriff’s deputies. These men and women impose a commanding posture. Especially motorcycle police officers who are generally in excellent physical condition and who wear tall black boots with a motorcycle police uniform breeches. Add the weapon and (for some) taser to their duty belt, and you…

Look Where You Want The Bike To Be
This past weekend, Spouse and I attended a police motorcycle riding competition. I served as a judge. More on that in future blog posts. Today, I wanted to reaffirm solid riding advice I have learned and seen applied by the pros.
Motorcycle riding instructors give lots of advice for safe and precision riding. Back in the day, I did that as well (taught motorcycle riding courses and also applied those skills to my own riding.)
Once you get past the safety advice, one of the best tips has been…

For many hours, I was surrounded by…

End of an Era
Some people who have followed my my cop galleries wrote to me to ask if I participated in Law Ride this year, which has been held on the Sunday of Mother’s Day in mid-May each year. That is a motorcycle ride that assembles at a stadium in Washington, DC, rides past the U.S. Capitol Building, then arrives at the Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial for a wreath-laying ceremony.
In years past, this event was attended by hundreds of motor officers from all over the United States. However, in recent years, participation has declined remarkably. Last year was the worst-attended and -participated, so I said to myself…

Motorcycle Police Boots
Sometimes when I am looking for ideas to write about on this blog, I check a stats log that works with my website boot pages to see what questions or searches are trending. Lately, the most searches that have directed visitors to my website have been about “motorcycle police boots” or “cop boots” or “police motorcycle boots” or even “boots that CHP wears” [sic] and so forth. Literally thousands of searches every week direct visitors to this blog and my website about those boots in particular.
So what’s the story? Why so many searches on those boots?

Tall Boots for Men
I am asked from time to time what manufacturers and styles of tall boots I like to wear, and do I enjoy wearing tall boots over my pants, jeans, or breeches. This post is about my preferences for tall men’s boots, especially nowadays where my lower legs have lost muscle tone with age.
There are four basic styles of tall boots designed for men. They are…
