Everything the military buys, is from the lowest bidder. The oil came from the same 55 gallon drum that was used for everything else calling for that mil/spec. If the engine didn't lock up, I doubt the tensioners were changed.
I would hazard a guess and say that the motor pool mechanic was more respectful of the bike than the MP's that rode it.
It is possible that the bike was part of a Fleet Lease deal, and service by a HD dealer was in the package. If it was mine, a lot of inspection would get done.

I didn't think military police had motorcycle officers. I never saw them, except in the field, and wouldn't recommend a bike ridden in those conditions.
