Yup, the cop on the side of the road.

I wonder if the cop even tried to give a chase.

I thought at first that was why he was slowing down. I bet the plan was to meet up with his friend until he saw that cop car.

Why did he circle around and go back, though?

He didn't circle around. If you watch the video, he gets off at a cloverleaf entrance to another freeway... he's trying to get out of the area ASAFP.

I've seen this video a few times... anyone notice what speed he was doing?

170+ mph. :laughing:

That cop probably about dodo himself when he saw that on radar. I would...

Right, that's what I thought at first as well.

But the landscape and the bridge area on each take look the same.


And I think you can see another police car going the other way, kinda blurry but it seems to have the rave rack up top.

I'm not impressed, the rider didn't strike me as being in control of the bike.

I agree with Kal. He was wobbling a little to begin with, and took a second when he first started riding. Anyone can twist a throttle on a fast bike, and make it go fast. All he had going for him were the balls to go fast and weave through traffic.

I think it was more of "Dude just ran from a cop and copdidn't seem to notice" than "Check out his mad skillz!"
