Not because of some miracle... he is in critical condition... the reason he is even breathing is largely thanks to the excellent emergency response system that the U.S. has and also I suspect due to some excellent trauma medical personnel... had he been our country he would be dead by the time reached the hospital if he even reached it all...

it's called Law Enforcement innit? so they do need to "enforce it."

In the US, cops are given instructions not to chase bikes (crotch rockets, HD's are ok as they are slow ) primarily because most of the police cars cannot go as fast, all cops don't really have training to maneuver their cars at high-speeds especially since most of their cars are ford interceptors which well to put it nicely is not a sports car... hence they just radio to the planes to track high speed bikers and then nab them when they stop (if the bikers survive).
Just a few months ago out here there was a huge outcry over a cop who tried to chase a group of bikers going 100+ and ended up rolling his car over, to add to that the bikers came back and taunted the cop... this did not go well with the local police community and every sport bike rider was harassed after that, got pulled over for no reason, got tailed to make sure bikers did not speed off.

damn, i just had a crash at probably around 60 kmph and have 6 broken ribs ...would love to have this guys 'critical condition' a little elaborated , wonder which list will be longer ..hospital or garage .

To bring him to halt... with the cars that can't even stare at his ass?

When you already KNOW that you can't chase, DON'T. I am not saying that they aren't efficient at all or not criticizing their machines. But, knowing your limits and accepting them is always better.

This is like saying ''oh, I know I cannot chase someone who has just robbed a bank.... I know my limits and accept them, so it best to let him go we will pick him up later"... the big question out here is do you just allow him to go and pick him up later like its being suggested in this thread... according to me it is not an option... read the article carefully, he has been involved in previous felonies.... he has been banned from driving.... mind you its 'banned' and not just suspended... which means he has committed enough of offenses (or one serious enough) that was serious enough that he is been banned from driving permanently... you want someone like that to be riding a 150+ mph bullet???... first of all, a chase does not start on just someone's whim or fancy... he did something to attract attention to himself, secondly, since he has been banned he has a previous record in the police database which would have come up on the police in-car information system... so the question is "once they know that the person who is on that bike is mostly likely banned from driving, can they just allow him to go and risk the situation where he could run someone down and even kill someone in addition to himself after knowing that the suspect is most probably someone who is banned from driving"??? In legal terms: whose liability it is if something happens and the police have not taken reasonable amount of action to prevent it from happening????

u guys are arguing abt police jus chasing him., if it was here in india they would throw lathi/stone/ or even jump in front of u., :P lol.,

or may be go down coz of a pot hole or the camel hump size road humps :P

Not arguing... just putting across our thoughts across... anyways what you say is so true... if anyone does 150 mph over here he is going to be dead for sure...

any fresh new news abt the guy?

For all those who suggest that the guys should not be chased and brought to a halt take a look at what can happen when a bike doing 150 mph collides with a car >>> http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/162...-see-bike.html

None involved in the crash survived...

exactly.



and he was going 2mph slower than this guy.

Only if he has a sbk and can accelerate upto 150mph on these roads...and can hold the speed at that point...

* not necessary to have a superbike., u can have a fatality on any bike in any speed.,

150 km/ph, that is insane man., and exactly this what happens.
