The lkmernber Golden Helmets learn was formed in 1963 and comes under the direction of Assistant Commissioner Jack Kay of the OPP Traffic Division. "Motorcycles are a real asset in today's heavy traffic," said Mr. Kay.

He emphasized that the Golden Helmets' per- formance is based on precision. "It should not be construed as trick or stunt riding," he said. Each 30 -minute per- formance is based on numerous intricate man- euvers,split-second tim- ing and highly developed riding skill. Special training before the season starts and between events 'maintains the precision Necessary for the exciting performances. The motorcycles used in the precision ride are 1,000 cc Kawasaki Police Specials. They are equipped with two- way radios, electronic sirens, flashing and revolving red lights. The same machines are used on regular traffic patrol. The most active time of the year for the Golden Helmets is in the fall, but the group makes many appearances in local parades throughout the .year.
