Naughty boy

lol good vid,shame the police use the slowest bike know to man.

 

[Adz172]

The good thing is there aint no speed limits on the roads outside of the towns!

 

[CCrispUK]

There was when he got into the town tho, did he lose his license rich? I cba to read thru the whole thread.

 

[Herr Flick]

got 11 points +30 day driving ban iirc.

 

[CCrispUK]

s**t son!

 

[Bobdylan]

my uncle's on that forum, he used to have an evo 4 iirc, now got a vii. bloody quick they are!
must say the policemans lane discipline isn't amazing and the shame of only just keeping up with a car. tut tut!

 

[.Kev.]

Great vid.

 

[Darren S]

Even after watching that, some people still won't understand the appeal of Evos......

D.

 

[NickMelson]

That was some good driving, copper needs to grow a pair and get a faster bike :L Awesome vid.

 

[Rob_]

He was really unlucky to get done for that theres no way they could of known his speed, the policebike just happened to be doing 100 to catch him in the 40mph zone.

Car was poorly in the video, he would of never caught up if the car was running right

Steve is a great bloke had some brilliant chats with him at the mlr sprints. His current beast is up for sale

 

[jenic]

Watched the video, read the thread. All I know is I want an evo now lol

Inclined to agree.

 

[JMR]

Nowt wrong with the riding of the copper.
He was doing 140mph in places.

Where some think he should have grown balls/ got faster bike, I think in reality he was being cautious/sensible.

 

[Justin]

That Evo looks QUICK!

 

[Ian_182]

I like the look of that evo,and it was shifting too...

 

[JD]

I want an Evo. Now and before watching that video.

 

[Englebert]

Underdelivered on the awesome.

 

[JJ!]

Quite harsh IMO. He has slowed down drastically in the 40 zone, and not once did he do anything dangerous. Shifted though!

 

[Fraser.J.]

^ +1

 

[Christophe]

thats well harsh.

 

[Sam@NP]

They are no speed limits on some IOM roads, however if the police see you doing much over 90mph they will plea for dangerous driving.

 

[Curtis!]

Seemed very in control tbh and like said backed straight off coming into the busy area. But f**k me at the thing just disappearing when the bike is going flat out at 130+!

 

[Munson]

He pleaded guilty. How is that harsh?

 

[kev182cup]

i cant see the vid : (

 

[dunganick]

He was doing about a ton in a 40 at a point though (just as he braked it has to be said). I would imagine they have to be pretty harsh on the IOM where they can otherwise people would just go over there to drive like morons (im sure some do). Although this guy seemed to be making safe overtakes and not tailgating.

Im interested to know what issues people have with the bikers riding.

I dont know anything about bikes (or what bike he is riding), but its possible the biker didn't want to really give it some as he might just be seen to be encouraging him. And at the end of the day the rider might not fancy matching the speed of the car.

 

[Munson]

Some people in that thread are mental. Copper was pissed because he couldn't keep up. Followed him for too long. Entrapment. Lolz.

Plush one. Although there's no speed limit, iirc you can still be pulled for 'furious driving' or similar. I'd quite like that on my record in all honesty.

 

[seb]

bike rider was good. fast and safe. people saying his lane discipline was crap know nothing about roadcraft.

tbh, bloke is a fair cop. 100 in a 40 see ya later.

don't really know what the fuss is about. ddon't do the crime if you can't do the time.

 

[Mr Burns]

...At least he's got a vid, all my driving lolz are fading memories.

 

[Herr Flick]

Underdelivered on the awesome.

sorry to dissapoint inklebert!

 

[MarkCup]

Nothing wrong at all with that copper's riding. As seb says above, roadcraft is a wonderful thing that's sorely misunderstood by the uneducated.

Evo driver did seem to abide by the rules most of the time, but entering a 40 limit at over a ton before even thinking of slowing down is a but stupid.

LOL at the thread though, someone could even make out the copper's angered expression, behind his visor in the reflection of the speedo apparently.

Is it only me that thinks the bike was plenty quick enough to stay in touch? I didn't see the Evo ripping away enough at any point to present the 5-0 with a problem.

 

[Rob_]

THe bike was nowhere near quick enough

Gixxer 1000's havnt managed to stay with steves old evo

 

[kev182cup]

Just saw the video. Tame I thought. Northeast cliosport meets see more action than that up hartside. Lol
