Street Hawk
Does anyone remember this TV show? Street Hawk made its debut on January 4, 1985 on ABC at 9 PM EST and ran until May 16, 1985. The show was about a police officer and former amateur dirt-bike racer named Jesse Mach who was secretly chosen to test a top-secret project -- an all-terrain attack motorcycle capable of speeds in excess of 300 miles per hour. Backing the motorcycle was a computerized command system that allowed its operator to provide the motorcycle's rider with real-time information from various sources and to autopilot the motorcycle during its high-speed runs after clearing traffic along the intended route. Norman Tuttle, an engineer employed with the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration of the Department of Justice, was the designer of the motorcycle and reluctantly picked Jesse to test it. Mach began to lead a double life, a police public relations officer by day, and crime-fighter by night.
