Today in motorcycle history, January 16, 1971

  In Season 3, Episode 15 of 'Adam-12', "Log 26: LEMRAS"-- Reed and Malloy admire the bikes not the "bikers".

  The LAPD introduces the LEMRAS (Law Enforcement Manpower Resource Allocation System) to assist in identifying high-crime streets, including part of Officer Pete Malloy and Officer Jim Reed's patrol area, which was used in stopping a rash of burglaries involving motorcycle-riding suspects.

  "Oh Dear Lord!  It's Hollister all over again!", cries one woman.
