What is he doing with those handcuffs?

We are sitting in a restaurant on Denman Street having dinner, watching people go by when a cop on a motorcycle comes up and parks on the other side of the street.

The waiter - quite the flaming type - looks to see if it's his favourite cop. Oh, no it isn't, how sad, this one is not quite as well built. But he does have an interesting trait.

As the cop slowly gets himself set to walk about, he takes his helmet off... and handcuffs it to his motorcycle!

The waiter finds that quite exciting, and suggests positions that can be taken on a motorcycle with handcuffs... he's quite entertaining.

As the meal goes on, no less than 3 more motorcycle cops come up and park next to each other, in preparation for going on a walk about. They all handcuff their helmets to their bikes!

So if you ever see a motorcycle cop walking around in Vancouver's West End... pssst, they don't have their handcuffs on them!

Unless they have a spare set... I don't think I want to bring it up with any of them... that could be a bit more "exciting" than I really want it to be!

This is a fun place to live!
