that's old...but it's great.  I love how they hold his limp body down to cuff him and then they just chuck him in the back of a van and leave...lol

id love to see that kind of justice over here...although it would be followed by years of litigation by his family...just a thought

I don't understand what happened there.  Did they cuff the motorcycle rider or was that the driver of the car?  It went too fast at the end.  And my computer plays videos in a poor fashion. 

They cuffed and stuffed the motorcycle rider (who'd held the hostages).

Didn't know about the hostages.  Did I mention that I don't have speakers on my computer at work?

And I don't have a computer at home. . .so it doesn't have speakers.  Cool video though! 

Yup! The two people standing next to the motorcyclist are the two bank(?) hostages he'd held for 12+ hours. He demanded a moto for his getaway. The car that rammed him was an unmarked police car. The police were unhappy with the hostage-taker.

If only he'd had some handy protective crash bars:

I just LOVE these pics! 

I wonder if hitting that windscreen before he flipping over the car three times would have slowed him down a little...  Hmmm.....

I feel sorry for the poor motorcycle.

What a tragic end to a life that could have been filled with track days, weekend knee dragging and winter tinkering.

This should make all motorcycles count thier blessings

it's a squid bike...it was destined for a tragic ending

Even squid bikes can be redeemed.... though I've heard they have a high recidivism rate. 

yup...it's hard to kick the habit 

Yea them foreign police are whack. One time we went south of the border to Juarez, Mexico and we got pulled over in my moms car so the cop uncrewed our plates and said he was going to take them. But after a brief argument and 10$ later we had our plates back.

I just got back from a five-day break in Madrid  to be honest that looks pretty much like the normal evening post-siesta rush.

Slight thread-jack, never have I seen so many GS500s as in Madrid, some very interesting bikes there including the scooters used by the traffic cops.
