On this date in April a member from the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol paid a visit to Patrolman Orcutt at Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol secret lodge # 4. The following photographs were made at that time documenting the restoration process of the 1973 Honda SL 125 "bush bike". This bike was acquired by the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol for $150.00. At the time the bike was a rolling chassis, in very rough condition. Using skill and ingenuity and Rust-Oleum paint sourced from Home Hardware, Patrolman Orcutt was able to create a respectable running machine. The Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol looks forward to putting this bike into moose dragging duty when fully completed.
Patrolman Orcutt's moose patrol vehicle is this incredibly tidy Honda Goldwing. The exceptional torque of this machine allows it to drag two or three moose at once, depending on moose size. Pint sized nurses from Collingwood are particularly fond of this reliable and sturdy machine.
This is one of the moose swivels commonly used by the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol when dragging large moose.
The Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol would like to thank the manufacturers of Rust-Oleum paint for making a decent rattle can paint shooter. It's not perfect but its better than most.

Some of you might recognize this medal. This was awarded to Patrolman Orcutt for heroic endeavours in moose dragging in 1978.
When the correct bolt or nut can't be found the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol has been known to substitute glue when restoring a motorcycle. This is the extensive Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol secret lodge # 4 glue collection.
This is a novelty, oversized Estwing hammer. I am not really sure why this is in Royal Canadian

This "Mistress of the Moose" statue was crafted by an Iroquois warrior and gifted to the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol in 1964 as part of the "moose wars" peace settlement between the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Patrol and the great Iroquois nation.

This is what a proper bush bike looks and sounds like.
