    Rubbish. No sound and no speedo overlay.

    Still, didn't look like he was slowing down for 40 limits either. Big
    difference between hooning on the open road and riding like a ****
    through urban areas.

    Plod driver seems to have been crap at keeping up, too.

  3. There's sound after about half way but it's not as exciting as police,
    camera, action, I'll grant you.
    From what I can gather, the road was wet/damp and he was keeping his
    distance in case of a prang but in all reality, the bike should've been
    long gone, which it was until they called in reinforcements and the
    helicopter.

    I've just made a comment to that effect on the website - doubt they'll
    publish it, though.

    Didn't seem to be much in the way of "danger" though. Ok, he was a bit quick
    through the little villagey things, but his riding was smooth with no
    obvious panics. I'm willing to bet that Monz and his plod rode quicker than
    that on heir day of jollies.
    And he was more danger to others than that biker EVER was.

    That's odd. I thought his riding was generally okay. His lines were
    reasonable considering he was being chased and his overtakes looked a
    lot less dodgy than plod.

    His lines were crap. Why, on the dual road he was given, which has a
    large white line on his side, with the vehicles on the other side of
    the road being given the opportunity to overtake (or pass) into his
    lane, did he consider it fit to hug the large white line that would
    have (possibly) taken him headlong into oncoming traffic?

    He looked like he was out for a bimble. I was wondering if he knew he was
    being chased, then I noticed the reflections of the blue lights on cars and
    signs. And then the sound cut in. Still just looked like making reasonable
    progress, mind.

    He's a recidivist. He doesn't GAF.

    You're asking the wrong person really but if you're talking about the
    very first bit, maybe because he had a clear view ahead. Even from the
    cop car you could see reasonably well (which used exactly the same
    line as the biker, by the way) and the biker's eyeline is considerably
    higher than the camera's.

    And anyway, they weren't on an IAM run, it was a pursuit, and I did
    say "reasonable considering...". Put it this way, I've seen much worse.

    The start of the vid he's wobbling like a spastic & his lines are utter
    shite. Anyhow, the blokes a cock & got caught.

    I don't give a crap about his cockness as a rider, but he's a FUCKING cock
    for riding without a license and insureance. What if he'd had an accident?
    Think of the children.

    I scrolled further down expecting to find out what his tyre pressures where
    and how much rebound damping he was using.

  17. Arses like that give biking a bad name and throw amunition at the
    government to place further ristrictions on the machines we ride
