An interesting story posted on Biker Think, from a biker in Japan who noticed cops pulling over bikers, and handing them packs of tissue paper...

While I'm driving down this road, I see a few police cars ahead with red cones on the shoulder of the road.

They were pulling over ONLY bikers. This one old geiser cop (Had to be in his latter 50's or early 60's) came up to each biker and handed them something and then they drove off.

When he got to my bike, I looked at what he was handing out and it was a small packet of tissues with something printed on the back of the tissue pack.

It said... "Drive safely"... (* CHUCKLE *)

Could it be that the police were looking for a specific motorcycle, or motorcycle rider, and needed to get a close view, and offered free tissue paper for everyones trouble?
