Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn doesn't think that's enough, though. He's put the bike, bought with stimulus money, on a list of 100 ridiculous stimulus projects. [CLICK HERE to read the list].

The White House is defending the bike. In its own report it says Harley supplies rides to 3,400 police agencies across the country.
