Watched this yesterday.. And I'm curious as to what your overall reactions are to this chase.. I have mine, but I wanna hear yours:

If the idiot only knew what a bad bike accident looks like he wouldn't have pulled that stunt. They need to throw the book at him and it will likely cost him his job as well.

Cops endangered a lot of people chasing that idiot. Wonder why he stopped?

High speed accident looking for a place to happen, or maybe the idiot is suicidal. Either way innocent people could have been killed or seriously injured. Luckily nobody got hurt.

hahahahahaha got caught on a busa, amateur.

Dumb ass thought he wasn't going to jail lol...

Da Fugg

Radio is a lot faster than any motor vehicle.

Did I see 120 through town?

Eeesh.

Wow, that officer can drive, but way too much traffic to do those speeds. Im suprised it wasn't called off!

That bike in stock trim has 40mph on the cruiser. Much more with the limiter deleted.
Stupid on both sides but the speeds were increased because the cop decided to have a little fun too.
I've been up to 186mph on a bike. That's what the limiter held it to. Stuff happens fast at that speed.

So him going 122 before the LE started chasing him wasn't a problem.

Totally irresponsible pursuit for LEO. Both should be thrown in jail for being dipshits. If the motorcycle rider was suspected of a serious violent crime this would still be an irresponsible pursuit but for a justifiable reason.

I'm not a fan of lawlessness, but that chase is poor judgement on the trooper's part. No reason to endanger lives with a 4000 pound bullet for a speeding ticket. Driving through that first town at 100+ is reckless. Call ahead. Let your radio do the heavy work.

All that. Too much speed (cop)...... You echo my thoughts guys.

Ditto on the foolish chase. In the beginning it shows the perp on the ground handcuffed. Cop inches away from his face screaming. Any wonder ppl hate cops? Guy doesn't have the resolve to be professional. Bullies should be terminated, (with prejudice).

I’ve been to more MVA’s and motorcycles versus car-truck-bus-trees than I care to remember including many HIGH speed motorcycle wrecks and the danger the motorcycle rider created was mostly a danger to himself while the cop doing 150 in the cruiser posed a danger to everyone.

Years ago I was first on scene to car versus motorcycle head on crash. The motorcycle was traveling in excess of 130 when it hit the passenger car doing 60mph head on. The lady driving the car was quite shaken up but totally unhurt. The guy on the motorcycle was in significantly worse shape. He was over 100 yards from the impact spot and when we took c-spine precautions to roll him over I was at his legs and I literally caught his foot still in the shoe still hanging from a piece of his Achilles’ tendon. His license said that he was 6’1” but he was so completely shattered that he was barely 5’ tall laying there. MAST pants went on and then we determined the futility of it all considering A-systole and massive trauma/blood loss so we called it and airlift Northwest was canceled. If that accident had happened to 2 cars rather than a motorcycle we’d have been dealing with 2 DOA’s at a minimum.

I’ve personally called off pursuits because the potential for a catastrophic accident or injury to innocent bystanders was more than I was willing to chance and the subject I was pursuing was NOT suspected of a violent crime. A license plate number and a good description can often be enough without endangering everyone else in the area.

Discretion is the better part of valor.

Biker should lose his license trooper his job

Son is a Patrol Deputy (FTO at time of incident) and had a similar occurrence. State patrol called in a bike doing 100+ and he was in pursuit. Son and partner were a few miles up the road so they pulled off and were waiting. I need to add that this was in the dark - So this guy goes dark, shuts the lights off and is hauling ass up the highway. Son said they clocked him at 172mph - in the dark with the lights off! He said they couldn't see him coming but the radar gun was screaming. There was no way they were going to catch up so they didn't even flip on the lights.........not a very long life expectancy.

If that officer was going 150 MPH, he should be fired for endangering the public. The bike rider, since he was stupid enough to be caught and doing those speeds, should have also been taken to jail.

The need for immediate apprehension must outweigh the risk created by the pursuit, to the public and those involved. It clearly didn’t. That’s my agency’s policy. We don’t chase organ donors. I wonder what the Troopers policy states? Going through town at those speeds is unacceptable.

What does the bike do when it hits the limiter?

That cop was determined to show his dick was biggest. Dumb fugg put many citizens at risk of death. Hope he drives a desk now. Maybe not even that, fire him.

Let the radio do the work.

Two things…. That guy can not ride a bike very well or the trooper would have never caught him barring help from the air. Second that trooper was a dumb ass running through town like that. Catastrophe waiting to happen.

Ignition is limited, retards timing, misfires.

Cannot argue with anything said so far, so I won't. Poor judgement on both parts, frankly.

I think it reminds me of when I turned 21 and bought a Ford Fairlane. I had a 427 installed and could pass power poles that fast.

As far as the cop, I think he is a typical guy who is authorized to have fun in his car and doesn't care if he hurts citizens in the process.

Bingo 2 idiots on the road, biker and the troll

There's a guy that lives across the road from me rides a crotch rocket see him everyday racing off the island and back every nice day he rides.....just waiting for the day he does't return and hopefully in a body bag....

Risk vs gain. I don't make that pursuit.

If the rider weren't white we would have already made race comments on this right? Still trying to learn how that works here.

Had a bird strike to the head at about 50mph on a Honda 90. I was 14. Saw stars but luckily didn't pass out. Learned right then that a lot of things on a motorcycle are completely out of your control....

Dang, around here that officer would be immediately transferred to the driver training division. Head Honcho at that too.

Got his man and no one hurt. Except a few second guessers on here.

Amen- I broke my foot after front tire went sideways on some broken concrete- and I was hardly moving at the time. Was later I discovered a nice divot in my helmet. wouldn't have killed me but imagine I would have been bloodied.

I got no wish to be doing no 122mph on one. Heck I am fine never getting back on one at all at this point. Guy is dang lucky he stopped the bike instead of something else.

Look at the back up officer. Second cop on the scene. An Amazon!



Hair down to the middle of her back, arms covered with tattoos. I wish the biker would have put a fight, she looks like she could kick some ass.

How TF are we going to know if he's white if we don't pursue and catch. Damn

Must be something new, or the bike was geared down or a power adder, turbo/supcharger/nitrous, never seen a bike that would hit the rev-limiter in high gear.

Guy on the bike was an idiot. Not for running necessarily, but for staying straight on the same damned road for so long! GEEZ! You don't outrun the law, let alone the radio, by staying on the SAME ROAD! As soon as he broke sight and contact he should have hit a side road, swapped directions at a normal speed, and went about his merry way.
I hope the statute of limitations has ran out, but Ive lost a trooper in a ext cab 4x4 pulling a 4 wheeler behind me! If they don't have a tag number, break sight, change directions, and go on about your business!

Bike rider is an idiot. For getting caught and for riding through built up area like that. Fun to stretch the legs and ride fast, but do it responsibly.

Here the cops would have called off the chase. Cop was irresponsible.

With that much of a headstart I feel pretty confident I could have lost him in any one of the last 3 cars Ive owned. 2000 Camaro SS, 2006 GTO and a 2014 Camaro SS. CHANGE DIRECTIONS, HOOK BACK, ACT INNOCENT!
Light me up on the interstate, Im pulling over, you got me officer. Light me up on a road like that and I may or may not, make it easy on you.
I swear one of these days when they pull me over and ask what they always ask:" do you know why I pulled you over?" Im gonna say "because I let you". Yeah, Im getting a ticket, but Im probably getting one anyway, so why not have some fun with it?

Yeah, I agree. If he was going that fast, just let him go. The person in the most danger is the bike rider.

I agree the officer shouldn't have chased at such high speed. Should've relied on radio to call cops up ahead. He probably thought it would make him look superior to others.

Most cops have unresolved issues. And you're right, alot of people can't stand cops.

LOL in your country or mine, theres so many backroads, they wouldn't have a chance without a tag number. Im in J co but I can see Clay from my back porch.

We got a lot of back roads too. That's what I'd have done, is hit the back roads.

My SIL is a LEO, his department forbids its officers to become involved in chases. Talked to two PA State Troopers who told me that they never chase motorcycles because they're seldom able to catch them.

Both we're stupid but the cop was the one that pushed those speeds through town. Biker dude "probably" wouldn't have sustained that kind of speed in town if not being pursued.

Scary part is, that bike t-boning a car would probably damn near cut it in half going that fast. Cop should have backed off.

Evading is a felony here, I hope it was worth it!

I honestly can not believe you guys are blaming the cop for what this idiot was doing. Maybe they need to take motorcycles off of the road completely and then they wouldn’t have idiots driving like this. If the guy was a law abiding citizen there would have never been a chase! Yes the cop should have radioed ahead but when your caught up and adrenaline is pumping anything can happen. That is why I am not a cop and I’m pretty sure most of you talking smack aren’t either.

That's pretty much where I am with it. I'd have called it off before going through the town.

I had a motorcycle at 117 in a 45mph zone, after dark one night on radar. I got after him. He pulled over. No chase involved. He had a 16 year old girl on the bike behind him.

Took the college guy to jail, but had the girl call her daddy to come pick her up so I could explain things to him... She sure wasn't wanting her daddy to show up.



I'd not needlessly endanger people in town with a simple speeding pursuit. No way.

But those fuggers that run from the police figure out you won't chase them, and it leads to many more trying it. Catch 22.

Evading is pretty much a felony everywhere I think. The bright side of that is after the 1st one the rest are free!

That's a GREAT IDEA! While we are at it, lets outlaw guns, knives, pitchforks, hell even rocks can be used as a deadly weapon so lets outlaw them too. After all its for the children!

Last time I got pulled over I crested a hill on the highway doing 85 in a 60mph zone free. Spotted the cop hiding under an overpass a mile up the road leaning on his car with a radar in hand. He was getting into his car as I blew by him. There's a big sweeping curve just past the overpass, I kept watching for him in the rear view mirror. As soon as I see him in the curve I pulled off the highway onto the shoulder and waited for him. As he's walking up to my window he asks how's my day going? I tell him it was going great up until a few minutes ago. He laughs, we have a little conversation and I drive off with just a warning.
In my younger days while running my bike hard on the highway I'd get that spider sense, pull off onto an exit, find a good spot and watch my backtrail for a few minutes. Once the cruiser went past I'd take a different route for a short time, get back onto the highway and ride again.
The cop in the story above should spend the rest of his career as a school resources officer...

BS meter going off on this one. There is no light switch on a modern Bike. They are on with the engine.



When the HP wars were really heating up a couple decades ago the manufactures agreed to a 300 kph limit so the safety regulators wouldn't step in. The Hayabusa was one of the first to reach that speed if I recall correctly.


Jerry

Cop was pissed because his car would only go 150.

We had a high speed chase like that at night on a very hilly and curvy blacktop road. The guy on the bike said he never knew he was being chased after it all panned out. The trooper lost his life in the chase. He didn't make a curve and that was the end of him. The biker claimed to not have seen him crash, he turned himself in after hearing about it on the news. He was convicted on manslaughter charges and is serving time.

You just stated what many are thinking. "Anything can happen"



What if a child and her expecting mother were crossing one of those intersections after the motorcycle goes by and the trooper smokes them at 120 mph?

"ItS oK i WaS cAuGhT uP aNd My AdReNaLiNe WaS pUmPiNg"

Spot on.

what i think is that a cop passing cars at 150 mph for a speeding violation endangered everyone involved. he should have broke off pursuit.

It looked like the cop slowed to about 55mph through the more populated area (around McDonald's). Still, there was so much that could have gone wrong. Both were lucky nothing did.

Pretty easy to jump a fuse with a toggle switch, just two fuses on my R1 kill the headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals and license plate light.

No, I'm not a cop, and no way in hell, I would be. It takes a special kind of person to do that. I wouldn't do it for what they pay, and I wouldn't put up with all the schitt.

If you think that was screaming, you are a sensitive puzzy.

You didn't watch the whole video he was going 120 in town where the speed limit was 45mph.

I'd like to hear the justification for that 130mph pass with 2 wide. If the car in the the fast lane slowed up to move behind the truck there's mega potential for a lot of hurt people.

If we're chasing a pedo....I can buy it, just clocked a random.....pure reckless.

A lot of firefighters and police officers are adrenaline junkies .

He's a dumb ass.

Cop ain't goin 150 mph.

Unless alla the cars he's passin are doin 100.

Closure's too slow.

No side draft from passed cars/trucks, lane change for the moron that didn't move over was too easy.

It would.
We had an old man killed here. T-boned by a sport bike.
Biker dead too. Car demolished.

An Irish friend told me of a bike wreck he saw in Germany.
A BMW rider T-boned a farm tractor. Snapped the tractor in two
where you split it. 600 # at 150mph is no joke.

Was taking my son and a friend of his down to the deer lease south of Sheffield once from Odessa one Saturday morning while driving my 93 Corvette down I - 10. Figured no cops were around that time of day so I was cruising about 110. Crap. Met a county mount who turned and came after us so I pulled over. Figured I was screwed. He was out of Sheffield and asked what I was doing. Told him I was blowing the soot out and no traffic. We got talking and his dad was a dr in Odessa and he let me go. PTL.
