- Five motorcyclists are to face a disqualification court hearing after a police officer riding an unmarked Honda VFR1200F reached over 150mph following them on A47 near Norwich in August last year. The force says their speed was recorded at 140mph 'by means of a follow check in a calibrated police vehicle'. Read the full story here: www.visordown.com/motorcycle-n...

if only they put this much effort into catching bike thieft
And who 's job is it to scrape their remains off the tarmac when it all goes 'tits-up'?
@@johnschotz1614 And seems like an entertaining way to make a living too. Not really sure why it's necessary though. With those enormous plates and cameras everywhere, gov't could just send the court summons to their homes.
@@johnschotz1614 And that's your edited version? Who's normally first on the scene? This video however doesn't tell a story so it's no wonder there are so many negative comments.
the pigs like the easy option!
Innocent's lives are more important than a bike.
There's money in fining a speeder and zero money to be made catching a bike thief.
Video should be titled- police rider does 150mph to catch up to motorcyclists doing 70mph.
Nothing to do with money, the fines go to the treasury and not the police.
Dumb wanker logic. In that case, anyone who gives them the chance to make easy money is as big a prick as you .
EXACTLY !!!!
@@thefiestaguy8831 doesnt make much difference, the chief will prioritize fining people because the uppers like it and so on. The police are almost a bloody racket nowadays they might help you if you have a problem but they will happily fine you for minorly speeding or being in a public place with too many friends and other bullshit asuch
Cop doing over 150 to catch up to riders doing 80...👏
Yes he could of caused a major accident and killed a family. Absolute double standards. He should be struck off force. Bet he gave them a lecture on the danger of speeding.
They were doing 140
1x Highly trained rider doing 150mph to catch 5x riders doing over 100mph (see speedo for reference), regardless of their skill it's not for the roads.
Yes.....let's just let these dumbass riders continue being a danger to society.....by your logic you are just encouraging dangerous driving because if they go over the limit then the police can't catch them as the police will then be speeding......honest to God, the IQ of some people!
That’s what a copper said to my dad who was doing 50 lol we got pulled over by 3 police bikes
Is there a bit missing? You know, the part where the 5 bikers were doing 150.
yea all i saw was the copper doing 150 for no reason
All I see is a cop flying up behind a group of bikers at 150 who then slows to match their speed at 80.......................
Ok i dont understand your point, either way they were breaking the law. If i am sitting in my car and someone flies past me at 150, i am going to have to go atleast 160 to catch up, Not only that but i dont think you understand that as soon as they see the cop they slow down
@@charliew6024 I the video it only shows the bikers doing around 90mph and the cop doing 150 to overtake them all.
@@mtclark149 1 year late bud? i dont even remember this video or why i commented, and at this point i dont care :)
@@charliew6024 Yeah, didnt notice until after i sent the comment lol
@@charliew6024 pig was unmarked read the title howd they know
Its seems to be perfectly acceptable to chase otherwise law abiding citizens on legally owned fully insured and well maintained bikes at this speed and ban and imprison riders. But not it seems acceptable to chase and capture unlicensed, uninsured bike thieves on mopeds who are fully prepared to attack members of the public with weapons and ride in our cities with absolute impunity. Lets see the Met Police make such a big deal about their next arrest of those bastards...
Paul Byrne not their fault they aren’t allowed to chase moped robbers
Paul Byrne I never thought of it like that you have a very good point
Well, there's at least one case that gives us a bit of hope: czcams.com/video/2Hg-YJ7t5BY/video.html
Completely agree. Police prioritise catching bikers, yet moped riders ride around, no vehicle plates, insurance, license or tax, robbing, acid attacks, and stealing everything they can get their hands on. Policing is a joke in this country.
I agree with most of your sentiment, however its not a case of the Police not wanting to do anything. Believe me what annoys the public annoys police officers. Its a case of resources. This is a factor in the amount of police officers in total, the amount then trained to a level they can knock people off mopeds, and then its a case of having enough vehicles and time to follow up on this rather than deal with other types of crime.
The cop was the most dangerous
spot on. This is a dangerous cop vid. Im amazed they released the shameful clip.
totally agree ,she was the worst rider of them all
The was really dangerous and reckless of the cop. Could have caused an accident.
So were those he pulled over
@@bennybouken fuck off , pig 🐷 lover , I bet you won’t say that when they rape one of your family! Fucking scum he should have sped up and left that pig in a fucking hedge!
As has been said, the video shows a cop going banzai at 150 mph to catch riders shown to be riding at 80 mph. Hardly riding alongside at 150 mph
The description says they were earlier caught at 140mph which I guess is the reason for the chase
They may have been doing those speeds previously which is why she had to do that speed to catch up otherwise why would she ride that fast? Just because we see the tail end of it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Duuuuurrrr.
I have to say, I have witnessed some of the best riding / driving by the police on our roads. I sadly have to say, I have witnessed some of the worst riding / driving by the police on our roads. If this was indeed a police officer, I think his riding skills need to be reviewed.
Inches away from the lead rider and in his blind spot.
If that guy had moved out the pair of them would be dead.
And before you say anything about the Police rider being highly trained in riding at high speed, just remember the other guy probably isn't!!! So who knows what he might've done?
Definitely dangerous. Even if the officer is highly trained, he shouldn't neglect the basics.
@@Mr.M1STER he needed prosecuted being in that proximity. The way he points his arm….. prick
Why do people think police riders are "highly trained"? Until about 15 years ago I used to do a lot of track days. There were 2 bike cops that often used to be there, they both thought they were rossi but the reality was that two big headed pricks with new R1s were getting humiliated by guys on 10 year old cbr600s.
If they aren't trained to go high speeds then why were they doing it? Maybe that's why they get pulled over. Yes the officer was at fault for the blind spot and closeness, but it's hard to be concerned about what might have happened in a high speed chase if they don't know what they're doing. If they weren't comfortable doing 150mph in a chase they wouldn't do it just mucking around
Ghost rider would have left that pig scum 😂🐷👍🏾
All this clip shows is that the copper on the bike is riding in a more dangerous manner than the bikers he's trying to catch
shut up mate at least he is off the couch
It's unsporting to pull bikers over just because you lost the race.
it's really unsporting to race on a road not made to race on.
lmao!!
Glad I left the UK, the police love to get you for speeding but do little to fight crime.
Crime=breaking the law.
Speeding=breaking the law.
Therefore, after a simple bit of math: speeding=crime.
So, your comment is wrong. You are literally saying he isn't doing something by doing it. Sooo, 2=3?
Bet you're the life of the party Alec -_-
Alec Watson and the UK is full of many stupid laws that shouldn't exist. That's coming from someone that is ex GMP. You can't even adventure/dualsport ride there without getting ticket, freedom is one of the UK's qualities.
Stupid comment, Sloppy Boggler.
HighCountry Pioneer where do you live now mate?
I like how the police motorcyclist can ride at those speeds who is just a human being, but, members of the public riding it’s deemed dangerous, the only danger was the police biker weaving through the group of bikers
@Brian Gower Exactly, and the point I have used on more than one occasion before
@Nick how do you know what training the public has/hasn’t had/have. You are making assumptions, do you ride? Do you know what you are and aren’t capable of when riding? There’s alway a Karen to reply isn’t there. The police ride is human, doing the same, simple as that. The only difference is his uniform
I'm sure those police officers get much better training than the level of training required to get a motorbike license.
Harry, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about! Police riders go through a 5 week training course, hundreds of hours learning how to ride safely at speed. That’s on top of the fact that they also MUST be well experienced, fully trained TPAC police car drivers, which is a 5 week course, on top of another 3weeks advanced reps;once, which is on top of a 3 week standard response course. In fact they will have, in their Police career, have had thousands of hours driving a police vehicle at speed. You, on the other hand have absolutely none of this training and think it’s ok to speed on a public road, putting yourself and others in danger?! However, I can assure you that the Police take uninsured, unlicensed, motorcycle thieves VERY seriously, there’s just too many of them and not enough cops too deal with them. You need too understand that there’s a MASSIVE difference between riding at speed to catch up and stop a motorist, than a pursuit. A pursuit is 100 times more dangerous that what you’ve seen on this video.
@@alexcrossley148 and you have absolutely no idea of the training or level of the riding abilities the riders have. You assume they have none, but you do not know, having ridden with ex police bikers I’ve seen both sides. I’ve never condone this behaviour so don’t put words in my mouth. My point is you have a human in uniform and a human member of the public, both human, with human reactions, you can not assume one is better than the other or one had more training than the other because you just do not know
One time about 50 years ago, a highway patrol pulled me over when driving a work truck 🚛 for my Dad's business. He said:"I had to drive 110mph to catch you ! I said:"I'm sorry, I was only going 65 in a 70. He said:"Trucks are supposed to be at 60". I said:"Why did you have to go 110" ? Couldn't you just go 70? He let me go with a warning ⚠️.
so the copper does daft speed to catch up with bikers tootling along at same speed as the cars. i didnt see the group of bikes tanking it at all
Paul Gratton read the post, they’ve been timed doing 140 based on the follow footage. They can time you between two fixed points on the video
And?
At 0:44 they are doing 95 mph.
Did they get done ??
Could this Clip please be renamed. MOST DANGEROUS POLICE MOTORCYCLIST!
He’s highly trained to ride at that speed. Members of the public aren’t mate. If you do track days yes you gain some experience but not in respect of hazards, such as the movement of other road users and junctions for example, which police officers receive. I understand to the untrained eye it doesn’t look good but I think you have to look at the comment you have made and reconsider your reasoning. Stay safe mate 👍
@@mikem2652 Mike Rimmer. Do you ride? every one I know whos a motorcyclist (all fast and all safe with countless years of experience between us) would all disagree with your statement here.
police training is little more than advanced motorcyclist it's about keeping yourself another safe. please don't kid yourself that they are the best thing on two wheels and superhuman because that's delusions of grandeur.
they would never ever win any kind of race would they.
i'm trying to say they are safe not fast.
The example here of the police motorcyclist lacking maturity Bad positioning bad timing unnecessarily overhasty none of it was needed to get to the front and perform his stop routine.
if I wanted a group of motorcyclist to do synchronised riding around the car park I would definitely choose police motorcyclist but not this one. as for fast and safe I would never choose a police motorcyclist but I would choose any of my friends.
@@King-Arthur-The-First evening and thanks for your reply. You raise some valid points so I shall try and answer. Firstly yes I do ride and have done so in all weathers. I understand what you say with regard to him hustling to the front. Whilst I cannot answer for his or her actions as I don’t know the officer, you have to appreciate that the officer is on an unmarked bike, so perhaps that’s why they wanted to get to the front. His riding to do so is not dangerous, but people may consider it was because it was an officer. If it had ‘just’ been Joe public, I doubt any eye brows would have even been raised. With regard to the best things on two wheels I would always say someone else is better but as a general rule of thumb, to ride at speed in urban areas and de restricted etc at speeds above 70mph no one is better because you the public I mean haven’t had a 6 week course 7 hours a day 5 days a week and at speeds above 70 mph assessing all hazards which advanced police motorcyclists have. As for a race, really? I think this discussion worthy of better content. I am pleased to hear your friends are all so good at riding. If you really are committed to riding quickly and safely go on a Bikesafe course it may just save your life. And just for the record I’m a retired police motorcyclist and instructor for cars. I was a Family Liaison Officer and knocked on far too many doors to deliver the bad news re car and motorcyclist fatalities. Enjoy your bike just be safe as too many clowns will knock you off. 👍
@@mikem2652
I would think the majority of people would say police riding here was dangerous as fact not bias.
Looking at the video I would say without do you care and attention is more appropriate than dangerous.
I notice you dont say this is not and example of the high standard to which you believe police are trained. so if this is an example that you consider passable then I would say the standards of training need to be raised.
Why a major hurry to get to the front to perform the stop without patience or skill?
The officer was riding in an unprofessional manner and from what i can see there is no need for it.
I totally understand if the police and those people that train the police think they are the best thing since sliced bread, but I'm sorry if I am bursting that bubble but you/they are kidding yourselves.
Im sure all police motorcyclists would make good motorcycle instructors but that's about it (apart the one in this clip of course because he/she seems impetuous)
@@King-Arthur-The-First well we will have to agree to disagree about how the officer got to
The front. But your initial comment was the riding was dangerous, now careless. As for all police riders making good instructors, they don’t. Many riders apply but are unsuccessful. I don’t want to sound sarcastic. You are keen and express your opinions well. However with regard to how police officers ride and bubbles being burst you base that on your abilities of someone only trained to ride on public roads at 70mph. The officers are taught to ride safely at far higher speeds. The main point of our conversation from my point is to try and explain what the officer did and why. Legally to explain that would take much longer. Enjoyed your thoughts and I wish you well mate 👍
Can’t chase grooming gangs though. Sorry , forgot. Too scared.
What chase grooming gangs on a bike? He’d find more groomers in Devon & Exeter than any where else
Why should they?!! ! As Naz Shah said "these girls should shut their mouths for the good of diversity"

@@stephencook4694 aye exactley
He's so pumped that he can't see he's actually the dangerous one. Absolute c____.
Indeed. A perfect analysis. Let's hope they weren't all so green that they all pulled over.
I think you’re missing the point.... he’s making it clear on video he is directing them to stop and not be mistaken for waving at them. I hope they got disqualified, rather than going on to seriously injure someone.
As for being ‘green’ the registration of each bike is on video as well as their clothing. It’s a wonderful tool a Notice of Intended Prosecution through the post, so you’re the one being naive mate to think they could get off by not stopping.
You sound like a rookie cop! Aa for the video "evidence" showing an idiot riding fast to catch up with some motorcycles being ridden at legal speeds - you'd be laughed at by your sergeant.
@@pierrewilliams1533 😂😂 stay safe mate
They were going to same speed as the cars , not one car stopped
Read the video description and/or the article. The bikers were recorded at 140 mph so this is why the motorbike officer chased them in the first place. The video only shows the aftermath so the group of bikers seem to have finished doing around the 140 and are back roughly to the speed limit.
@@Mr.M1STER and where was the death, carnage and danger
@@volt8684 The speed limit is probably 70mph so if you are recorded doing double that then you're in trouble. Simple as that.
I don't think the police should ride unmarked bikes ,being seen is a good visual deterrent to speeding bikers, the cop put himself and the others in danger the way he cut through the other bikes to get to the front of the pack . As my dad used to say, "son , the crime is getting caught" !
The point is the dont want to be a deterrent.....they want you to speed so they can get your money.
If he come up behind me like that I'd just think this tool wants a dust up dropped 2 pegs rung it's neck flicked thew my shifter hit mad 3 digit and fooked this guy off
I agree, don't see the need for unmarked police bikes.
Visual deterrents don't work when the criminals think they can always outrun whichever cop chases them.
Exactly, the unmarked bikes arrived when the police gave up the pretence of being public servants and became blatant revenue collectors for the government.
My hero ! Go try and arrest some knife wielding threat to society in the inner city's?????
exactley
@Minimalism why are you wittering on about keeping daughters safe?? I think you better go and take your medication.
@Minimalism Are you Jelous coz your Missus wont let you have a Bike.???
Massive thanks to the police force for their valiant efforts to tackle the litre-bike crime gang epidemic, ie, dangerous criminals exceeding the speed limit.
I feel so much safer now, I might even start parking my bike in the city using only 3 chains.
Thanks again, chaps.
I think i'd never even have the guts to own 1098R if i lived in London, if the bike theft crimes are as bad as I hear...
Every word the guy says is true. It's an utter disgrace the police have lost control in the City.
First words out of the officers mouth would " do you know how fast i had to ride to catch you " , there is no way he could have measured there speed over any distance because he did not follow to record there speed over a set distance , the only wrong doing was an under take , any court should have thrown it out .
It’s ‘their’ speed you thick twat
should have asked could I ask the audience🙄
Wow, give this cop a round of applause 👏🏿, he's really keeping these streets safe by weaving thru traffic and doing double the speed limit to chase down those reckless bikers doing maybe 10 over... he must be proud of himself 🙄 smh 🤦🏿
@Brian Gower are you an idiot ?lmao.
He clearly said security guards are known for being dickheads and cops are usually full of hate and a superiority complex .. he didn’t compare the 2 jobs
He did that for a few seconds to save the world many hours and possibly more of these bikers doing constantly, and you're complaining?
No wonder BLM is just creating more racists.
Imagine, the bikers would consider it
a Friendly challenge for racing
Cop actually went over centre white line when pulling him over .....slow lane to fast lane with a faster car coming up the outside
Didn’t do shoulder check either major fault
Let’s not blame the root cause now. You lot are morons. If you can do better out on the uniform and show the world how it’s done. 🤦♂️
The rules don't apply to the police. When you understand that, everything else will make sense.
He's causing more potential danger than need be.. That's an insane video
And this is why I have zero respect for the police
Police where I live only go after defenseless, non-dangerous sheeple who happen to break a minor law (like driving 20 mph over limit or so). these people for the most part are not criminals just unlucky. now the hardcore gangsters or the politician or whalthy, oh no you can do whatever you want mister i'll just hang back here ant take it out on some defenseless cunts. Fucking retarded bullies 90% of them.
I thought the cop was the one going to get pulled at first, by his riding! No evidence of the others speeding in this video.
@Gavin Green really? haha
Better to watch the much longer unedited video
Anytime I see an unmarked police car or unmarked police bike, I don't see a cop, I see a road pirate looking at making revenue. Has nothing to due with public safety, because the presence of an identifiable cop automatically slows down traffic. Hiding in plain sight, is again road piracy
ERR 140 MPH I DONT THINK SO !! OR WAS THAT KMPH !!
This video has been carefully edited from the original which is a lot longer and does indeed show the motorcyclists @ 150 mph.
Makes a lot of sense risking your life and other road users life's when you think they are speeding,only one i could see speeding riding dangerously was the prat on the police bike.
They got caught doing over 140mph, before this encounter even began
I would refuse to stop, no markings, totally just ignore him and ride on. Could be any fool.
Except for the blue flashing lights...
Next time, lads, pick wet day. The "brave" biker plod will suddenly be too busy.
I’m no biker but he was nailing it to catch them up just to play the big I AM
I am and you're spot on buddy.
Overkill reaction and punishment against a bunch of compliant, non-wheelying, group of guys out for a blat on a sunny day on a straight road. Should only get a warning, not the book.
No one in any real danger, and not as if they were riding old dodgy machinery of yesteryear.
No one wants to see average bikers getting busted like this, thus the thumbs down numbers.
' a bunch of compliant ' I dont see how exceeding the speed limit is 'compliant' also 'they should only get a warning' Lol matey i dont think going 140 will get them a warning.
'no one in any real danger' You know not like one of the bikers could go down into a car and make the car swerve and crash or anything.

Standard police practice pull the bikes. Some police in Wales will talk to the riders at the cafe and others pull you over on a power trip whilst doing way above the speed limit just to catch up.
Guy filming thinks hes a hero 😂😂😂
@Minimalism behave yourself. The guy filming was doing about 150 too catch them right down to about 70. And what you mean can't controll themselves they didnt even know it was unmarked police behind them yet they was still cruising. I reckon he saw them doing about 100 at one point and this guy just went full male karen. But that would just be me mind reading again 😂
This has always puzzled me as to why the police never get done for speeding as the copper was guilty in this video of some seriously dangerous riding passing so close at 150mph?! 🏴
Are you stupid?
Errr.... It's his job?
@@simonthomas5367 to go 150?
If I recall correctly, police driving with emergency lights on are exempt from some traffic laws (speed limit, requirement to not pass a red light). They are not exempt from the requirement to not drive dangerously. But in practice a court is likely to find "I was taking a necessary risk to reach the scene of a crime" a persuasive argument. Also, it's unlikely to get as far as a court, since the police are usually the ones bringing a case to the CPS, and people have a strong aversion to charging their colleagues.
His lights was on and he was trying to pull them over
Wait, they were going 90.
So if the police waits a mile before catching up to you and maxes out his bike that's how fast they get to say you're going?
Bullshit.
Wasn't really much of a chase was it??
Can’t catch all of them. One pulls over, four ride away. ‘Nah. Mate, don’t know who they were. I’m on me own.’
He got all there reg as he went by
Shame they don't put the same effort into chasing grooming gangs!
Its racist to chase grooming gangs. We must respect their culture.
Yes, because of course, traffic cops go after the grooming gangs.
Hmmm.... I know, let's tell the pilots of the police helicopter to land it, and go and take the domestic report....
Let's ask the marine unit to park their boat up, climb ashore and go and stand on a crime scene for 8 hours.
It always amazes me when people seem to think that because an officer is doing this, he isn't out catching a robber... the reality is he'll be a traffic officer on a seperate division of the police force who's primary role is traffic. Of course should he or she come across something whilst out on patrol they'd still be expected to deal with it.
This wouldn’t look good in court for the cop 😂😂😂
Bollocks they're not speeding hope the copper has proof he was speeding no sirens doing 150 to catch up 😡
Old Bill might have reached 150 mph catching up an half mile but it was HIM doing that speed, not the others!!! He should be taken off the road immediately. The video footage does NOT give the required digital readout of his speed and the duration of his catching-up. Put him back on two feet immediately, for a year at least, to catch criminals in Worthing!!!!
Power Trip, nasty piece off work

Bunch of idiots treating like public roads like their own personal track day, and the cop is the one on the power trip?
@@derek96720 but they weren't though, they were pretty much just riding with the traffic
Doubt many people with a 600cc up sportsbike haven't done 150 at least once on the road, that's why you buy em!

Don't make it legal.
I ride a yamaha xjr1300 and ive never been above 80 i only go 10 over the limit on motorway no point in being silly and loseing your licence and puting other road users at risk
@@keltthomas8476 Why did you buy XJR1300 then? 250cc would be more than enough for you.
@@klimenz I'm 6ft 7 tall and 18 stone I'd look stupid on a 250 and there is a good chance the engine won't last me long. My reason for buying a xjr1300 is because I do a 400 miles trip every weekend and I needed something that's good on long hauls and something that's not going to be painful on long rides it has plenty of power for motorway use and is good on fuel surprisingly
Moronic, guys goes 150 to catch guys going less then 90.
Yet again poor policing , including the officer riding badly
Police lie too much would have to see proof of there speed. I had same happen to me and police asked my speed I told them 30mph they lost there shit. No proof and free to go.
proof of their speed, they lost their shit.
Thank me very much.
No lights, no indication he was a policeman, and reckless speeding. That's a license gone for anyone else
Funnily enough... they get taught how to drive, or in this case, ride, at high speed, and have the legal authority to do so, provided they can justify their actions.
We're becoming a nanny state country, where people rush to the aid and defense of those who are knowingly doing wrong, and instead question the actions of those who are employed to enforce road laws, are trained to a higher standard, and ultimately must justify and account for their own actions.
It's a bit like comparing your average car driver to a police response driver, half of the people i've seen driving can't even drive at 30 properly without being overly-cautious or going unnecessarily slow, they'd be awful police drivers. Hence the training they are given when they go on their standard/advanced driving course, this is what allows them to do it.
if i was seen riding like that copper.....i would have been done for reckless driving....but being as he's plod....he can do what he likes.overzealous law enforcement at it's finest.
So if a police officer used a gun to kill a man who was about to murder your family you'd want him in prison for using a firearm when legally you're not allowed to? Moron
We never get caught as we know where the Honda is and when it moves from the yard.
Yeah, they used to have a black R1 on the norfolk coast and the copper riding it used to ride right up your exhaust to try to goad you into a race, he couldn't ride though so he never caught many people!
I prefer to press on a bit speedy, at least when I'm passing traffic I've got no idiots tailing me to twat me off at the national timit.
They all looked like they were riding pretty carefully. The only dangerous speeds were done by the cop.
No way were they doing that speed ! If this is shown in court the police would lose 🤣🇬🇧
I would like to see the video evidence of the 5 bikes travelling at 140mph too 😉
Pc Carter told lies, 1 biker charged out of 4 for a much lower speed(92mph in a 70 if not mistaken)
Only reckless rider i seen was police officer ....
Unmarked bike? So how does that work, some guy come to you side and order you to stop and you comply?
Have you never seen an unmarked bike before? if you do come back and try again
you just knock the bike jacker off. that's what it would look like in todays society
They follow you at speeds for ages putting others at risk instead of knicking you straight away. There's some footage on here of a guy that was followed on the a21 east sussex at high speeds etc for quite a while before being pulled. Had it of been a car the would of stopped it straight away.
Unmarked vehicles of any kind is outrageous and unmarked police should not be allowed to do their job secret police thugs at the highest echelons
On the video we see the anonymous reckless rider who speeds in excess of 150 mph on the public roads, then catches up with a group of riders who barely doing 80, and then orders them to stop. This psycho is obviously dangerous, and should be punished for reckless driving.
BTW, the bikers saw some idiot on the unmarked motorcycle telling them to stop. Why did they even stopped? I'm not familiar with the UK laws - do you obliged to stop if some crazy idiot on the unmarked vehicle tries to stop you? What if that's a bandit who wants to rob an/or kill you?
Again, someone who cant read the description, who is also unfamiliar with what an unmarked bike looks like.
I expect the blue flashing lights will have made it very clear.
I'm gonna see how fast his is.😎
Anyone know how fast police bikes can go generally? I can just about do 180mph. Asking for a friend. Hehe.
In theory any bike can be overloaded with crap and blue lights have a sit up and beg pilot and called an unmarked police bike.
If anyone like your friend or me lol was to out run said machine then the speeds you quote will do the job just fine but must be accompanied by a professional level of late braking (rear goes very light and no front lock up because of your choice of machine rubber and competence & stay of stuff like chevrons covered in gravel etc) staying calm and focused are your best tools. not having your bike registered to chosen home base essential also
😉👍 🏍💨
@@King-Arthur-The-First police will stop chasing you if you ride in a manner that will kill you or someone else, it's not worth them assisting your death. Sounds like you ride like an idiot anyway so you hopefully won't be around much longer
I have been riding 42 years so don't hold your breath if you're waiting for me to fail on two wheels.
Max distance ahead hazard perception is key to ones well being.
I often notice people potter around only to still to be taken out by hazard they didn't even notice in advance or anticipate. SPEED KILLS is a floored police term. The cleverer ones know its lack of concentration that kills. Otherwise they would always travel slowly themselves😋👍
@@georgel3657 what a despicable thing to say. Wishing someone dead on their bike just tells me you never rode or you're a pig. Either way you are a vile turd.
@@bernardridesagain5722 LOL 😆
Europeans here in the US those guys would have never pulled over just because someone told them to.
All I seen was the Cop doing 150 to catch up with the pack. Doesn't show how fast that group went.
matt46vale read the post, caught doing 140 on camera speed timings from them following
They were riding around 80-90
Well that about put me to sleep! How anticlimactic and boring...
You can always spot them, they still wear their white official police riding helmet because it's made to fit and has all their comms stuff in it.
My bike in theory would do 150mph my car in theory would hit 160mph, would I drive/ride at that speed...No way.
Please don't tell my Mum and Dad, they'll be very disappointed 😢😂
Shouldn't the whole lot of them cars doing same speed, be pulled as well?
He would have done 160 if he tucked in behind the screen....
I bet he did the whole high and mighty after doing twice the limit himself
At 70-80mph in 6th gear most of those bikes are on not much above "tick-over".
UK police force, penalising the compliant only.
Huh, i dont see them Exceeding the speed limit as 'compliant' Do you truly understand what they were stopped for?
@@omaismazhar3021 didnt say they were, did i?
@@omaismazhar3021 oh right......I thought you were against me for some reason :D Yea i was thinking the same thing really. like the guy i was responding to thinks that speeding is compliant, when they are breaking the speed limit.
@@omaismazhar3021 only person I saw speeding was the officer at 150kmh and then slowing down when he got to the group who were around 85k
Thanks for sharing this 👍now I will be fake plate’d up and off if I ever have a stranger pull along side and instruct me to pull over🚔
Been there, done that. These days unless you live in the middle of absolutely nowhere they'll find you with camera's.
You probably pass 20 of them on the way to the shops & lots of them have plate recognition.
@@Anonnymouse53 they dont have time to look at everyone I'll take my chances
Can i use this in a video fully credited?
Why don't police arrest real criminals? These guys are just enjoying a fast ride.
Crime=breaking the law.
Speeding=breaking the law.
Therefore, after a simple bit of math: speeding=crime.
So they are real criminals.
Oh i also dont think they will be enjoying a 'Fast ride' When they are lying on the floor dead after a crash
@@charliew6024 you're an idiot. Keith is way smarter than you.
Not their job, idiot. Their job is to enforce laws, all laws.
id love to see them catch the h2 supercharged
Congratulations on the police and there undertaking skills
What a load of crap.
Rule number one NEVER ever ever ever EVER pull over for "unmarked" law enforcement vehicles......cause for I all I really know? it is just a criminal up to no good.....NOPE want to pull me over? Had better be a fully marked vehicle with government plates
They were chilling xD
Leave speeding to the cameras and get this officer doing some real work
There's got to be a point where atleast 2 on comms say " 5 of us, 1 of him......" Vroom Vroom lol
Wth is this? Unmarked? Keep going.
Tosser
This is what betrayal must feel like
i wondered where is the police the entire video then i realised that i am the police
Don't believe it was 150 mph, nor was it a cop.
When I have passed my advanced rider training .
What’s the difference between me doing 150mph on a normal looking bike and mr plod doing 150mph on a normal looking bike ?
Terry Jones Pretty simple answer to that really isn’t there
1 - the law
2 - the weeks of advanced rider training he’s had vs the afternoon in dominos carpark you did
Because you’re not trained!
neither are dome of the best road racers we have in the UK a lot of the TT riders have no licence or had formal training. advance training does not teach you to do these kind of speeds but mostly spacial awareness
They were not going that fast, the policeman was accelerating to 150mph to CATCH them, in reality the bikers were going 70/80
Copper was a total arse. High speed with no lights or sirens on to catch up with a group of people out for a ride minding their own business , not braking the law and up pops a copper who has nothing better to do.
How do you know there's no blue lights on? I note there was a flashing blue LED on the display, which may be indicating that he has in fact got them on..?
If the lights were on, it would probably be slightly lower at the front, if the lights were up by the screen then everyone would see them easily and it may as well be a marked bike at that point.
Also, no law, states that police must use lights and/or sirens to make use of their exemptions, this is a common misconception and it simply isn't the case. They are only used if to NOT use them would hinder their progress, and also to afford some protection to the driver or rider should there be a collision, as it would go in his favour that he had the warning equipment on.
Unmarked police motorcycle … Christ, there ought to be a law against that 😬
They've been using them in London for the past 40 years at least.
Isn't it great that the VFR1200 will quite happily sit at 140 officer😈 Not that I would know👍 I have a reliable source that says it will do those speeds with a pillion and full luggage on the way back from a day out on the a27😅
All this video shows is that the bikes were doing about 80 mph when he "caught up" with them - lead guy was "making progress" as bike coppers call it, but was keeping it 80-90 by the look of it. The only one really doing anything reckless here was the police rider, especially at 1:10 where he lost control of his vehicle to the extent that he crossed into the outside lane of passing traffic whilst flapping his left arm around!
Lol he didnt ' Lose control ' He went into that lane so he could stop all of the bikes for swerving across from him and running
You can tell this isn't America because the motorcycle cop didn't shoot each rider in the back as he passed through.
I hope they all get banned.
