  1. Seems extreme but if you go first I'll tell others. If no one watched this video to the end let me explain my attitude. In the end, after this motorcyclist "played with the cop" he exited the highway and the officer tried to continue pursuit thru a sharp turn. it ended badly due to another driver t-boning the cop car, I can only imagine the officer or other people were injured from the hit they took. All the comments were about how awsome the guy was and cool it was to see the guy play with the cop. 1. Cop should have known he was being played and reduced speed to take the fun out of it for the biker. 2. It is almost impossible to road block a motorcycle, so even if there had been police up ahead the bike probably would have just gone around them unless a method of ditching the bike was employed. 3. Any stopping method would surely result in some injury to the biker, but how many lives did he put in danger playing this game? 4. Even if the cop had "let him go" there is no telling if the motorcycle would not have continued to drive fast and dangerously to elude any other possible pursuit further endangering others. There is no doubt as motorcyclists we are far more exposed on our bikes even with the best gear money can buy. It comes down to if this ass wipe had hit another motorcyclist and killed him, where do YOUR sympathies lie? I don't have a good answer but I definitely am leaning towards the use of force when someone like this guy endangers others for his own stupid pleasure.
  2. Had the same sort of thing happen to me once on a old enduro bike that was 5 up and N was at the bottom. Couldn't figure out where 1st was for a minute. Obviously I didn't stall it but I also didn't go anywhere at first either. Much less embarrassing in a drive way though.
  3. Isn't the speeding motorcyclist already placing himself at risk for those circumstances? Again devils advocate, If you are willing to push a vehicle to those speeds and increase the possible damage you will suffer in a fuck up, why shouldn't the police make it happen for you and save others from your stupidity? After all if you go thru down town with a gun drawn firing it into the air you will be shot, even though you have not officially shot anyone.
  4. Just playing devils advocate.... So no one ever speeds on a motorcycle and those speeding never have or cause accidents with uninvolved vehicles or pedestrians? As a speeder who is refusing to stop, is there a difference between how they should treat a motorcyclist vs a car or other offender? If the license plate was stolen off your bike and the police arrest you, is that fair? Last, we post hard about increasing fines and penalties for cages who break vehicular laws and cause accidents. Should a speeding motorcycle be subject to the same laws as a cage in circumstances where they attempt to evade police and have a accident resulting in injury? PS Since Erach never speeds he has no need to respond.
  5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTr1f-sdXHQ&feature=channel&list=UL You don't have to watch the whole video but at the end this chase led to the cop having an accident with another driver. Currently in Ohio police are ending chases like this just because they often lead to accidents involving other uninvolved drivers. So, if you could write a law about this sort of motorcyclist how would you want it handled? Me? 1. I'd require police to maintain speeds under 70 mph. No point in the officer being out of control trying to catch someone he really has no chance of catching. 2. Allow use of spike strips on motorcycles. 3. If the officer has an opportunity to "ditch the bike", do it. If the rider has this much disregard for safety any injury he receives is deserved. On a side note if you watch it on you tube read the comments. I was surprised to see hardly anyone commenting on the wreckless behavior in the video.
  6. So now he can count all 11 special herbs and seasonings on his fingers?
  7. I moved back home twice, each time I sat down with my dad and made a plan about what I was doing to better myself. 1st time was to attend OSU and finish my degree. I graduated Cum Laude. Second time was to save money to buy my first home. Each case for returning home is unique but always insist on them having a game plan and sticking to it with consequences for not meeting expectations to keep them motivated.
  8. Chances are by 2020 most degrees will be earned at home on a computer because housing and other costs like books when added to credit hours are just too much for the average family. At that point a degree will become as worthless as a letter from your Mommy about what a great student you are.
  9. Yes, by 2031 20K should cover their first week the way credit hours prices keep rising.

    Bike in Pickup

    This is a BAD idea. The tires on the bike have better traction on your truck bed than that sheet of plywood. I take the straps and loop them thru the triple or handle bar clamps. Then I tie off to the rear foot pegs. Most importantly I nose my bikes into the corner of the bed and leave them in gear. I've yet to have anything worse than a strap loosen up a click or two by the end of the trip to places as far away and the Adirondacks or South Carolina.
  11. So asking how a Busa handles off road will get me pulled off the bike.
  12. Man shooting police, police tasing parents, riding on the roads makes people violent. Any of you thought about off road riding.
  13. I'm with Chevysoldier on this. Hoping a peace officer dies for a ticket? Even is he was being a total dick, not the right thing. Would you settle for a drunk student puking on him?
  14. The french rejection and the God of Cricket seem to work for me.
  15. I thought it was funny how even the ones NOT in english had people saying "Oh, Shit" Must be universal speak for "another one for the darwin award".
  16. I was waiting for that comment.
  17. I admit, reading what you post is like watching a train wreck, horrible to see but you can't look away. If you think we are some sort of fan base then all you need to do is think about how people watch the news when weirdos like the tanning lady in NJ show up. We watch out of some morbid curiosity to find out how someone so "out there" manages in our society. Is it a disease you have or are you touched somehow? I am coming to believe you are someone who feels very alone and thrives over attention even if it tends to be negative. Like some kind of Stockholm Syndrome. If this is the case the best thing we can do for you is to NOT respond to your ramblings as they surely deepen your psychosis. Maybe there is some group therapy available from the Veterans Affairs in Dayton? Might be worth checking out. PS Not hating, just seeing this road as a dead end for you with no positive outcome.
  18. I'm pretty sure he means public grenade training not military. Unless Black wing is doing something new.
  19. Everyone knows the chance of getting a woody from a BMW is like the CIA getting caught hiring hookers...... never mind
  20. It's still new because Jay Leno is still doing jokes about it. I heard during those 20 months he learned to drive a stick.
