What did you get to thank your Super Bowl hosts? A new chip-and-dip bowl would probably be nice, especially considering what the Super Bowl-winning Ravens did this week to thank the city of New Orleans for hosting their Ray Lewis retirement bash. The team is reportedly ready to unveil a set of 2013 Harley Davidson FLHP motorcycles for the city police department’s traffic division on Wednesday, according to Pro Football Talk. (The bikes look something like this.) The team also took out a full-page advertisement in the New Orleans Times-Picayune to thank the city, its police department and its fans for the excellent weekend. Check it out in the photo below, and go get that bowl and a thank-you card. @AdamSchefter classy move by Ravens http://t.co/e2rzXjj1eb— Glen Mercer (@gmercer9) March 06, 2013 Thumbnail photo via Twitter/@gmercer9
