Thundering Harley-Davidson Ultra-Glide motorcycles have recently completed one-year trials with the Australian Federal Police and NSW country police.
Harley-Davidson Australia boss Peter Nochar says they are currently tendering for one state police force which he won't reveal, but he is confident the bikes will soon return to policing duties here.
"We don't want to have every police force in the country on Harleys but we think we deserve a place," he says.
Harleys were first used here in the West Australian police force which recently disbanded their bike section. They were last used by police in the 2000 Olympics.
"One of the great things the police have found about using Harleys is that people come up to the police, talk to them and want their photo taken with them," Nochar says. "There's something friendly and welcoming about a Harley.
"The police are trying to build bridges with the community so maybe there is a place for Harley-Davidson in Australia's police forces."
