Street Hawk was a popular 80s television series that followed Jesse Mach, a former motorcycle cop turned vigilante crime fighter who uses his high-tech motorcycle to fight crime. The first episode of season 1, entitled "Pilot," introduces viewers to Jesse's backstory and sets the stage for the rest of the series.

The episode opens with Jesse working as a mechanic at a motorcycle shop after being forced to retire from the police force due to a knee injury. He is approached by Norman Tuttle, a government agent who recruits Jesse to test a prototype motorcycle named Street Hawk. The motorcycle, designed by Tuttle, is a high-tech, advanced machine that can reach speeds of over 300 miles per hour and is equipped with an array of weapons and gadgets, including missiles, lasers, and a computerized guidance system.

Initially skeptical of the offer, Jesse agrees to test the bike after Tuttle promises him that it will allow him to continue serving the community he swore to protect as a police officer. After undergoing intensive training, Jesse begins to use Street Hawk to fight crime while maintaining his cover as a mechanic at a local motorcycle shop.

Throughout the episode, Jesse faces off against a group of robbers who have been terrorizing the city. The robbers, who wear motorcycle helmets with black visors, have been stealing from a variety of businesses and seem to be one step ahead of the police at every turn.

Jesse uses Street Hawk's advanced technology to track down the robbers, including a GPS system that allows him to follow their movements in real-time. As the chase heats up, the robbers pull out all the stops, using a helicopter and even a rocket launcher to try and escape. However, Jesse is able to outsmart them and apprehend the criminals with the help of Street Hawk's firepower.

Throughout the episode, Street Hawk's capabilities are showcased, including its ability to fly, its speed, and its advanced guidance and weapons systems. However, the show also emphasizes that it is not the technology that wins the battles but the skill and bravery of the rider, as Jesse relies on his decades of experience as a police officer to ensure that justice is served.

As the episode comes to a close, Jesse is approached by a mysterious figure who reveals that he knows about Street Hawk and tells Jesse that he needs his help. The figure, who remains unnamed, seems to be aware of Jesse's past as a police officer and suggests that he has a larger mission in store for him.

Overall, the first episode of Street Hawk sets the stage for an action-packed series that combines high-tech gadgetry with classic vigilante justice. Fans of 80s television will enjoy the show's retro aesthetic and high-octane action, while viewers new to the series will be drawn in by the captivating storylines and memorable characters.
