Object
Washington D.C. Police Motorcycle (Mandy Hampton pursuit — Pilot S1E1)
A heavy-duty law-enforcement touring motorcycle with a mid-sized chassis, clear windscreen, black-and-white livery, mounted strobe lights, enclosed siren/speaker array, radio hardware, and a rear storage trunk. The engine growls as it accelerates; lights flash and the siren cuts through Washington traffic. A uniformed motor officer rides it aggressively to close on Mandy's convertible, pulls alongside after the pursuit, and converts her public performance into a constrained roadside encounter.
