Bringin the Mail on a quad...

That sucker is crazy.

That's b/c the cop probably looked like this:

Dude was NOT afraid to get into that throttle!

Almost came off the seat at one point.

As soon as he turned onto the two track through the woods, she should've saved herself the embarrassment. If she couldn't catch him on pavement, she didn't have a prayer on the dirt....

yet another pretty much unwarranted high speed pursuit. The quad was not causing any problem to start with.

It appears the rider had an advantage in the power to weight. The rider was able to accelerate away at will.

Yea, good he didn't hit a kid on a bike. I guess they could hear the siren. A nice sized dog could have really messed up his day, though.

Me and several buds were cuttin down the highway in between two large WestVaCo tracts. The Billy Bob deputies were on a crusade to score themselves some wheelers for their auctions. The word was they would "confiscate" any ORV on pavement. We rounded a curve, there was the fuzz comin the other way. [bleep] them, we took the ditch and tore out through the pines.

I think it was bullsh!t anyway, just for riding down the edge of the road.


You guys got it made out west, I passed several 4wheelers in Kanab. Heck they ride through town, pull into the gas pumps, grocery store.

Don't know why the law are such bitches in the south about these type things.

Being chased by the police while riding an atv/dirt bike/snowmobile. That's Pure Michigan right there. They need to use that in Michigan's next tourism campaign.

WTF was that all about anyway? That was in Roscommon Co. Michigan and drifting up into Crawford Co. That area is huge for ATV riders and in the wintertime I think the snowmobiles outnumber cars on the road 2 to 1.

Stopid cop... go woodtick!

In Mississippi it's not illegal to ride an ATV on a public road. I don't know about Michigan. There really was no reason to pursue that guy to begin with.

In Micit depends on which county you're in. I just gotta believe that with all the ATV trail heads in that general area that it's probably legal there,too.

Maybe the guy was speeding? Lucky for him he finally found a seasonal road. Lots of those around that area.

Poor judgement by the Cop. Even if the Quad was stolen there was no justification to put the public at risk with the high speed chase.

So, the cop showed poor judgement by chasing the offender, but no comments as to HIS judgement by speeding, blowing stop signs, traveling in the oncoming lane of traffic on curves, etc... which apparently, by your logic, did not put the public at risk?

Interesting train of thought...

Chicks can't drive.

That was fun. I assume the lady cop wrote herself out a ticket for operating a radio while driving.

Yep. The whole time I was saying that as soon as he finds a trail the chase is over. I guess he knew where one was.

I was thinking the same thing.

Only issue could have been the quad didn't have a license plate...

Exactly.
