Steve Butters Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 also, with those bikes, he could end the pursuit before they even had the chopper off the ground if he wanted to....notice how fast he left the cop behind the couple times he actually did hit the throttle?

magley64 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 these bikes are 200+mph bikes....on a proper straight away, he would have a chance to ditch a chopper....im assuming by the shitty police cars that they dont even have air support where this was filmed....and if they did, im sure he has a backup plan....chopper is easy to get rid of depending where youre at....how? ride to the airport. chopper wont have authority to invade airspace, thus ending the air pursuit, which would then make it him vs shitty volvo wagon or whatever that thing is.....the guy does this for a living, im sure he has a plan for the situations that apply to himI know what a fast bike is...i have a factory fast bike...There is a reason he hasn't made a career of it here... any major police department here would be able to catch him.

Cheech Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ah, this thread delivers all the movie references. I especially like Tyler's reference to Speed, just go to the airport and you're home free!Not only would they coordinate with ATC, but do you have any idea how many police are at airports nowadays, and how many CCTV cams they have set up there? It'll be easy as pie to watch him go right into the nearest parking garage, seal it off, and then play the waiting game. Sure, if the guy is willing to ditch his motorcycle he could, conceivably, get a cab out of there, but must airports I've been to usually have one way in or out, so setting up a roadblock or some sort of screening mechanism wouldn't be totally out of the question.Of course, this is a WAY overkill for just some squid who decided to play "race the pig" that day. I'd wager that not only would the cops need to know who you are, but you'd need to have some serious outstanding warrants or be a suspect in a capital crime to merit that kind of reaction.As for the "fuck it, use stop sticks", give me a fucking break. It's one thing to POSSIBLY subject yourself to harm in riding at unsafe speeds, it's another to have that harm purposefully inflicted on you by a third party. That's the thing that personal injury lawyers DREAM of. Instead of using stop sticks, why don't they just pull the cruiser next to the guy and put out a pole like in Indiana Jones, stick it in their wheel and watch them highside and faceplant into the pavement? They were going to do it eventually, right?That net is an interesting idea. It solves the issues of sudden deceleration (I imagine it would have some stretchy qualities to it), and it could prevent injury (road rash, mainly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exarch Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 everyone who says get him at home....this situation doesnt applyfor anyone who somehow did not recognize this video, this is a clip from a ghost rider video.....he does this stuff on purpose with the intent of filming it and fucking with the policehe has already publicly revealed his identity (patrick furstenhoff), and due to laws where he lives, you cannot be prosecuted unless caught in the act, even if theres video (no way to prove he is the rider by the video)......the only way they will ever bust him for these videos is if they stop him in the act, which probably means killing himregardless, i love watching the videos....every squid thinks they can ride like him, but this dude is a pro and i enjoy his videos....reckless? sure, i guess, but at least hes a trained professionalif he was trying to get away, im pretty sure he would have no problem....notice he kept slowing down to get more footage? if thats the bike i think it is, i believe its around 300hp....he has a few, including a 500hp turbo busaI was pretty sure that was one of his vids, that dude is crazy. His vids always put a smile on my face he loves to tease the cops.For those who don't know who he is look him up, his vids are worth watching. The one of him wrecking is a fake though, that was some nub poser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't get the comments about how cool this guy is. IS it just because he's on a sport bike and does what you guys would like to be able to do or are you really cheering on a person riding on public roads at dangerously high speeds, putting others at risk and tying up police who could be working at catching thieves who stole your MC, robed your house or committed some other crime? What happened to the responsible keep it on the track view point I hear so much? Or is that just for other riders, because when you do it you're better and safer at it?

John Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) these bikes are 200+mph bikes....on a proper straight away, he would have a chance to ditch a chopper..the bike may be able to go faster in a straight line than the chopper, but you still aren't going to lose the chopper. all it has to do is just go higher, and it can still keep an eye on you... unless maybe the bike is on the bonneville salt flats or something and has no turns or intersections or anything else to slow it down for miles and miles, then maybe the bike would have the advantage.chopper is easy to get rid of depending where youre at....how? ride to the airport. chopper wont have authority to invade airspace, thus ending the air pursuit, lol ok memphis raines... this isnt gone in 60 seconds.

magley64 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 yeah, if he's wearing a helmet, a bullet might graze off, the cops just need to hit him with a RPG, that bike will outrun a cruiser, but probably not a rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ama146 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 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.really? so you want the rider to be killed? they get caught eventually, they always do.

CoolWhip Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Man, that is some crazy riding. I did watch the whole video. I would probably say just shoot him with a tranq dart. He would have time to slow down and realize it's game over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
