Ravens donate motorcycles to New Orleans police

NEW ORLEANS —The World Champion Baltimore Ravens are thanking the City of New Orleans for its hospitality, friendliness and service during the week of Super Bowl XLVII.

To show the team’s gratitude, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is purchasing and donating two 2013 Harley Davidson FLHP motorcycles to the New Orleans Police Department Traffic Division.

Throughout the duration of the team’s week-long stay in New Orleans, the Ravens received police escorts to and from their destinations, 24-hour security and outstanding community support.

“We wanted to do something to show our appreciation for how well our team, our families and our fans were treated by everyone representing New Orleans,” Bisciotti said. “Every place we went, the good people of New Orleans treated us with kindness and tremendous service – across the board. It started in our team hotel, continued with the police and included many in the hospitality industry. The people of New Orleans were great.”

In a press conference held Wednesday morning at the New Orleans Police Department Special Operations Division, Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones, a New Orleans native, presented the gift on behalf of the organization. New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu and police superintendent Ronal Serpas were in attendance to accept the motorcycles.

It's much harder to sleep on a bike than it is in a squad car. I've got a picture somewhere...
