I've remembered the opening sequence of this show for quite some time, but no one I mentioned it to could ever come up with the show's title. Finally I found it with a properly worded Google search - amazing tools we have today.
I remember a specific episode where there was a crazed driver who was tormenting the motorcycle cops by speeding through their speed traps and - once the motorcycles were in pursuit - releasing numerous logs out of his rigged trunk and the poor policemen would wreck their bikes after running over the logs. Yeah, far-fetched, but it got worse.
The hero of the show then took some sort of mind-altering drug and demonstrated in the lab that - under the drug's influence - he was capable of amazing feats of concentration and dexterity. He grabbed speeding arrows out of the air effortlessly.
So after the lab tests, the cops were given the drug and were then capable of driving their bikes around the logs and catching the demonic motorist.
With some 50 years of retrospection, I'm wondering now if that magic drug might have been LSD? It was a more innocent time...
Anyway, it was a favorite show of my 7-year-old self. That and "The Troubleshooters" and "Rescue 8".
