In total, six dirt bikes and one quad engaged an unnamed officer with the North Haven Police Department on Sunday “in a slow pursuit on Maple Avenue towards New Haven,” the department wrote on Facebook.
Some of the riders drove the dirt bikes across lawns and caused damage. At one point during the pursuit, “one rider fell off, but quickly jumped onto the back of another dirt bike and fled," according to the police department.
The North Haven Police Department is asking anyone who can identify the riders to come forward.
The cops in Brazil don’t play. They ride all kinds of different bikes to keep these scumbags in order. The Brazilian cops also have this bad habit of shooting them when they catch them.
Are you kidding? Brazil is a crime cesspool and the cops down there are arguably as corrupt as the Mexican federales. And I’m not sure what some 3rd world sh*t hole has to do with New Haven and this story.
"...Brazilian cops also have this bad habit of shooting them when they catch them..."
"...Are you kidding?..."
I’ve always wanted a Harley like Eval Knievel’s, but I wouldn’t mind having my old KDX200 again.
We also have over 1,000 miles of trails in our county.
I ride a Rokon Trailbreaker.
And in the winter we have over 7,000 miles of snowmobile trails in the state.
Skidoo for that.
Of course, we don't get enough snow here to justify having a snow mobile but I've always wanted to try one out.
North Haven is a town in New Haven County, Connecticut..?
In my area growing up (NJ Meadowlands), one town’s cops would chase these kids in Broncos. Not the ideal vehicle, but fairly effective for the time; most of the trails were alongside railroad tracks, so the Broncos could do it (they just weren’t fast enough, and if the riders simply turned into the weeds the Broncos wouldn’t follow because the swampy ground would stop them).
Ah yes, the venerable XR-750.
You know, for few years (’08 through ‘13, I think) Harley was selling a more modern version of the XR (as a 1200). Nice bike. It retained a lot of that classic “street-tracker” look from the original XR750. There are good used examples available for not too much money (by today’s standards, that is). I’ve seen a couple ‘09s for around $5K-$6K.
They did not sell am awful lot of them - it was definitely a niche market. However, those are the kinds of bikes that often end up being “collectible” twenty years later, so if you want one I’d recommend finding it soon.
States that suppress the use of atvs are foolish to say the least... The economy of the industry would be good for any state or county...
Great video. The cop collected a scalp.
