I’m only suggesting a visit to the registrant for investigative reasons of course.

I’m amazed at how many people on this thread think 100mph is super WOW fast.

[bigredkitty1]

LOL! That is funny.

Seriously, though, I thought these packs of motorized jackals were just a local phenomenon. Apparently not. Recently, two innocent motorists were killed in the Dallas area after the antics of some of these morons.

"So I guess the next time one of these selfish, childish, potential murderers goes speeding by me atop the line, it’s ok to bump him a little and then go back and laugh as he lays dying?"

In most cases, I'm sure they'd do the same for YOU.....

My brother, a retired cop, said by the time you hear those crotch rockets they have long sped by you and it was not worth the chase......

"a speeding motorcycle can’t hurt anyone inside a car."

Oh...

Ever been center-punched in your driver's side door by a Harley?

[sionnsar]

What I don’t get, police have dash cameras and radios,

No dash cameras here. Budget cuts.

When a bike and a car collide, 9 times out of 10 it is the car’s fault. Bikers generally don’t make many mistakes.

BULL. You cannot believe that.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

yep!

The police would appreciate your hanging around.

It depends on where you are...your driveway for example.

I often see a couple on a sport bike, sneakers, cutoffs, tanktops no helmets...and then he pulls a wheelie in traffic or on the highway.

A kid trying to show off for a gal on a crotch rocket at it in front of me a few weeks ago (on I-15..60 mph or so). He was in shorts, sneakers, a short sleeve shirt...and on a Harley. He did have a helmet (required in Cali).

[Fundamentally Fair]

...but you still have reasonable doubt.

Since when did that have any part of traffic violations. The cops says you did it, you did it.

I read a story years ago about a motorcycle chase. A California Highway Patrol officer was pursuing a biker. The biker turned around and flipped off the officer - and then at 120 MPH, smacked head on into a truck.

"a speeding motorcycle can’t hurt anyone inside a car."

Wrong. One of these killed himself a couple of years ago a mile from here (home). I passed by shortly after it happened and before police/rescue arrived. The scene, in order as seen: a body on the side of the road, under a jacket. The wrecked crotch rocket. The car with the front passenger-side door badly smashed in. Three or so people standing there, apparently in shock. (I am guessing none were in the passenger seat; two may have been neighbors.)

They love to fly through this stretch of road way too fast and, because of the way it curves through the trees, they leave themselves less reaction time than they must think.

True, or on a horse, but on the open road 100mph just ain't so much.

[VeniVidiVici]

Ok Florida boy,
The real question here is,
What year GTO?

LOL! 2006.

2006 Holden Monaro w/400HP.

It was better than The Judge. It was The Judge and Jury.

;-)

You have to pursue. Once crooks know cops won’t pursue if you go fast enough, it’s over. All the murderers and robbers will just punch it and that’s it they are home free.

You say ‘pick them up later’. Like that’s so easy. Like you just know where they are going to be. Some will get out of dodge. All they have to do is just run again, go too fast, and oh, we’ll just pick them up later, - again.
