The North Dakota Troopers Association has purchased an old Harley-Davidson to use a new public relations tool.

The 1936 motorcycle is outfitted with original lights, and a siren activated by the rotation of the rear wheel. It's similar to the models the Highway Patrol once used.

Trooper Mitch Rumple said the motorcycle was located in Montana by John Lindeman of Golden Valley, N.D., who restores and owns dozens of Harleys.

Rumple said the old Harley will be used to stress motorcycle safety. "We want to encourage people to wear helmets and drive safely when they're on a motorcycle," he said.

The bike, with a flathead engine, is all original, from the wiring to the foot clutch. It has been in the showroom of Fargo Harley-Davidson owner Del Hofer's store. It will be on display at Andy's Harley-Davidson on Highway 81 North in Grand Forks before its public unveiling during the Fargo marathon in May. "This is a piece of art," Hofer said. "Units like this were used by the law enforcement officers all over the United States."
