scottb Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Twowheel, I forgot about that part of it. Just thinking for "keeping up " speed, a 14 should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsnake Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Twowheel, I forgot about that part of it. Just thinking for "keeping up " speed, a 14 should do it.I was honestly just being a dick lol But anyway, as long as the bad guys follow the "straight line" rule the 14 would rule.

ReconRat Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Rider was smooth getting off bike and starting foot chase. Almost missed it.Almost thought he was still on the bike, but you could see his gloved hand flipping up into view as he ran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Entertaining. The guy was slightly faster than the cops on foot. Edited April 14, 2013 by Mykill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner75 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Those cops are using Contour Roam cameras for helmet video. He was definitely trying to keep up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Oil-head BMW. He's lucky it didn't explode at those speeds. I was referring to the foot race but my post didnt specify. It was interesting to watch him try to keep up on the bike and not die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's a Mazda 3...you can run those down with a moped... Are these bmws really that slow?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsnake Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's a Mazda 3...you can run those down with a moped... Are these bmws really that slow??No they're not. I think he was being uber careful in traffic trying to not get killed. All the while knowing he can run down the Mazda at will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 When he hit the bridgeway with no cross roads, you can see him hammer the shifts.But still wasn't what you'd call fast. Just faster than what he was chasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are there any ZX-14's that are police bikes?Obetz has a GSXR. 750 or 1000 don't remember witch, 750 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think MC cops actually keep a healthier distance to avoid the perp slamming on the brakes and taking the bike out when it slams into the bumper. Keeping up is good. Catching is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Perp could run like hell tho, he had a few hundred feet on the cops at one point, then got cut off by a detective car. If not for that car he probably coulda lost them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Once the LEO got to that open road and started slamming gears I even smiled lol. Loved how he could stop and look then easily real the car back in. He is on the perfect bike for the job IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
