Looks like the security forces (ISF) of Lebanon are in for a treat. They just received a nice little gift from the US of A. 20 Harley-Davidson motorcycles to be used by their security forces. The 20 motorcycles complements the already donated 480 Dodge Chargers and 60 SUVs. Plus they also received spares for their 24 Harleys already in operation.

According to the US Embassy in Lebanon “the motorcycles are state-of-the-art police vehicles, identical to ones used by American law enforcement agencies, which will enable the ISF to perform its law enforcement, safety and traffic management functions. The [vehicles] are outfitted with specialized police equipment including enhanced steering and braking capabilities and lights and sirens with mounted microphones and speakers."
