#131242 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/video.aspx?VideoPath=HASN/biker512k_stream.wmv&VideoID=25488&ArticleID=4537826 http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/479/Motorcyclist-filmed-doing-over-140mph.4537826.jp He did this daily, and a sting was set up. Pretty brave of the officer that followed him all this way while doing the video. In my travels i do see certain cyclist doing this exact same thing. I scares the crap out of me when they pass me that fast. MC   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #131243 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............ Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   obviously an amateur. the only way you will outrun the radio is to duck into neighborhoods and switchbacks. interesting though that the officer did pursue him at such high speeds with the amount of traffic around. any idea what the officer was driving? he seemed to be able to accelerate right along with the biker.   Logged     If you are going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #131246 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Surely there's got to be a limit to how far police push this..!.Putting himself and the public at further risk..for what...he had enough on the guy and would have got the registration plate details....BLOODY HERO!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #131252 bthomas (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 594 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   HoustonCH73 wrote: any idea what the officer was driving? he seemed to be able to accelerate right along with the biker. I'd say the cop's on a bike too. Look at how the horizon leans in the curves. In a car, the camera's view would remain flat and not show that kind of lean. Also, notice some of the tight areas the cop fits through with the bike. No car would've fit. That's how it looks to me anyway...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #131257 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   bthomas wrote: HoustonCH73 wrote: any idea what the officer was driving? he seemed to be able to accelerate right along with the biker.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   22-year old organ donor. I doubt he will understand that the police basically saved his life, because driving like that, it's just a matter of time until they would have had to scrape him up with a spatula and a drinking straw.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #131262 randlk (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 431 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Not sure who was riding what, but they were both accelerating and riding faster than anything I've ridden before. Insane, but looks like fun.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #131272 bthomas (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 594 Re:140 and Busted! 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Emu@Oz wrote: bthomas wrote: HoustonCH73 wrote: any idea what the officer was driving? he seemed to be able to accelerate right along with the biker.

What bikes do the cops ride in the UK...In Oz they generally ride BMW. BMW would be my guess too. What impresses me is the quality of the audio/video set up considering it's on a bike. Also, the calmness of the cop. Clearly not his first chase.

Man, I seriously hope they don't bring in unmarked bikes over here, although I reckon they probably won't bother us cruiser folk that much, there's still a chance. I'm not all about crazy speed or anything but 10-20 (km) over isn't uncommon on faster roads. Oh well, time will tell. p.s. I love that the engine sounds of the bike sound like an old Nintendo game... a real old Nintendo game. Sweet.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/10/18 23:48 By RangerDan.   \"When I looked at this thread, I was thinking to myself; I sure hope I get to see an image that will burn itself into my brain and spend the rest of my life trying to repress it.

Well a few rides around town and the evidence was clear. And I am increasingly seeing Moto Cops about everywhere, Last night at about 215 AM I saw one getting off the PA Toll road, I was shocked. He was all stealthy looking but obviously a Cop.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
