京都警察白バイNot far from Takaragaike, in northern Kyoto, this police motorcycle sped by.
He "raced" by at about 10 km/hour.
The cops were keeping order during the annual Daimonji Ekiden race, a relay marathon.
The race is held in early February and is run by teams from 50 of the public schools in the city.
The course winds began near the Golden Pavilion and ended near Heian Shrine.
Each leg of the race is about 1.5 - 2 km, and to maintain safety for the participants the cops were out on motorbikes and in patrol cars.
Though not a fan of oil-powered transportation, we have to admit this bike is pretty damn cool.
Check out the Star Wars helmet the cop is wearing.
