This is some scary shazam.

That motorman had some solid brass balls, we need more endings like that. My guess is the car was stolen, back in my day if you ran or resisted you bought yourself a sure fire A SS whipping, of course back then no one had dash cams.

Can anyone figure out what kind of bike he was riding?

Nice find on the video.  I'm guessing the officer is riding a big Kawasaki.  I don't think he was pushing it really hard until towards the end when the guy is getting more desperate.

He's riding a BMW R1200RT

Where are you getting those links?  They have some extra code that goofs things up for embedding.

i ran into same problem. if i go directly to watch it has what you linked. if copied elsewhere, it had the player link embedded. kinda like if i quoted what you corrected him on, would have the embedded player link as well.

I don't know that much about these things, someone just emailed it to me.

People have no idea how dangerous a chase is for a motor cop, they are pretty much defenseless while on the bike, they can't draw their weapon and the subject can at anytime wheel around and run the officer down, not to mention how many are killed by idiots pulling out of side streets and turning in front of them at intersections.

That Beemer is an awesome looking bike, it's worlds apart from the crappy Harleys our guys were issued, even the old Kawi 1000s were way faster and more durable than those V-twin chuffers.
