Man, there is some serious bashing going on
Riding a performance bike well, just as driving a performance car well, requires skill, experience, and training. Riding from bar to bar with some Nazi-looking half-helmet, or no helmet at all, is more the Harley experience -- and I want no part of it.
Just how many of your highly skilled, brilliant Harley brethren have been killed in crashes, often drunk? How about Indian Larry, who crashed and died while riding standing up on the seat with no helmet on? Then we have Bruce Rossmyer, owner of one of the largest Harley dealerships, killed while riding helmetless. I can forgive some 19 year old kid for not having common sense, but 50-something grown men riding without helmets on public roads? Or thinking they are clever for wearing a non-protective "novelty helmet"? Morons.
HillariousI see a lot of rice riders wearing multicolored Power Rangers jumpsuits with matching helmets to go with their multicolored oriental bikes. It really doesn't get much gayer than that, does it?
Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipmentComment

this is even better
If you think that the riding position on a Harley is comfortable, you'd probably be really happy getting a gynecological exam, since it's basically the same position with those your legs spread wide and your feet out in front of you.

From this news.. it tells that.. Police was chasing him. I guess this is more of Police's fault. If they see that somebody is on a superbike.. For obvious reasons chasing him will be putting their own life on risk.. and the culprit too. And this is what has happened.. Already under influence of Alcohol.. speeding.. best recipe for Crash. Now critically injured.
Better idea would have been to get the license plate's no.. send him a ticket.. or nail him down the next day.
I do not see the victim/culprit as regular offender. Just a teenager. experimenting with life. Police should have dealt maturely. For me its entirely police's fault.Why Road Safety campaigns are not impacting people?Comment

i get what you mean... but i don't agree with u.Originally posted by inflammable View Post
would that mean a free-pass for anyone on a superbike?
what about really fast cars?
and for that matter... what are police cars for anyway?
i really doubt it was this guys first time speeding...
and not his first time drinking n riding too.
this guy was doing way past 150mph... most police cars topout at 120mph.
that's not fast enough for them to keep up with a 157mph bike...
he'd be way ahead of them in a few minutes.
i'm sure this guy was having a blast on his R1... till he hit that lamp post.
sad. but true..

Police did absolutely correct by chasing that person. Anyone who is driving/riding under influence should be stopped and brought to justice, the police should chase them down if necessary. Sending ticket at home? Any smart ass born with a silver spoon wouldn't even give a rats ass for the speeding ticket that just got delivered at their home! They must have certainty of fear that they can get chased and caught by police if they are misbehaving on the road.The Chronicles of Motorcycling - The Man, The Machine and The RoadComment

Here in US, lots of State's have a law where the cops cannot chase a biker (as in the past it accounted for lots of biker deaths).Originally posted by Satellite.kid View PostNothing is IMPOSSIBLE - The word itself says I M POSSIBLE.

sad. but true.Yes, you guys are right at your place. But, even by "trying to" chase him/them, can the police really catch them?Originally posted by Satellite.kid View Post
NO is the answer what your mind gave you after reading it. Isn't it?
@Xionite
Bro, you are right that 120 an d 157 are wa apart. But, the fear of being chased by the police or, even if they don't have any fear, the effort of getting evaded ASAP would surely make anybody to increase the speed like hell... If the police's vehicle top-out at 120, then it doesn't mean that the culprit will be riding just in front of them thinking that they can't overtake him to catch him.Join my facebook Page: Life On 2-Wheels | Blog: Life On 2-Wheels

forget the police chase. he was under the influence of alcohol. would've hit the post anyway.Comment

its safer for everyone involved not to chase and endanger life or non participants like other road users or pedestrians with aerial surveillance etc. it would be possible to get hold of the culprit in more controlled environment. Any chase situation invariably results in reckless risk taking by everyone.Comment

Even i agree that chasing puts lives in more risk than casual speeding!
I remember when i was mumbai, traffic police were equipped with Pulsar 180s and Yam RX-Zs for chasing down culprits but the idea was silently dropped coz of the same risk factor of chasing on crowded western express highway.Comment

Just a thought... what happens if he is not chased and brought to a halt??? What happens if he runs someone down... who would be responsible then for the non action of not bringing him to halt... is such thinking also applicable to drunk car drivers??? i.e. do not chase him or you will endanger lives... think about these aspects... are basic fundamentals of road safety and rules different for cars and bikes.... No, they cannot be... Not bringing him to halt is NOT an option... it is a requirement by law and for safety of all involved...Originally posted by MotoS View PostOnly a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
