Icon again doing all they can to make motorcycling look cartoonish and all about brands/branding vs riding. Their interpretation of a Main Force Patrol bike like Goose rode in Mad Max.

Ugh. What a self-important tool. That doesn't bode well for the future of Army. As we used to say, the only thing worse than a Lance Corporal with a badge (MP's) was a 2nd Lt. with a compass.
