Agree 110% In Scotland I passed an unmarked police car over 100 in a 50mph. By the time they caught up they clocked me at 84 in the 50. He asked me to sit in the car and had shown me the video. They did say I can contest it at court. I said no point I was an idiot and you caught me. The policeman smiled and said we will say it had been dry conditions, minimum traffic (it wasn't) and I had control of my bike. Fact was they could have taken my license and didn't even at 84mph I should have lost my license. Point of the story is shut up and take what they say and they are decent. I had been 40 at the time. Since then I ride safely. I'm happy to sit in traffic while it's flowing. I filter if the traffic is slower and I ride just a little faster on the outside. I know someone who run under a heavy goods vehicle trailor, they found his head in his helmet. A family friend died after a woman cut in front while he filtered at speed. Two younger riders have died locally on straight roads. Simply no point in riding like an arse on public roads. I'd point out our police use what looks like a boy racers car, one you wouldn't look twice at. They were driving a blacked out Audi S3 black alloys and looked lowered, thought this car is trying to catch up until I seen the lights 😁 Love the channel Dan. Do you ship the first aid kit to Scotland at all
I typically give cops shit. That guy was actually a pretty good cop. De-escalate, explained everything, damn fine job need more of these guys. This cop might have given him a ticket, but it was what he said that will improve this rider. Give this man a raise.
Phenomenal officer!! Can't say enough. He could have a totally been a d-bag and pissed but no, concerned was his attitude. Props to that officer 100 percent!!!!
He could've arrested that rider and impounded his bike, gotten his license suspended. instead he kept a level head a educated the rider, gave him some constructive criticism that he will remember much better and learn from much easier than a boatload of negative consequences. this cop is a dying breed.
@@hooviedoovie5220 Just Sad that riders like the dude in the Video will NEVER Learn anything from being told how shitty they ride and that they should pay more Attention. He keeps on riding like a pissbottle no matter how many times he gets stopped. The only thing that helps those Morons is when they lose their right to Drive legally because im 100% sure those who drive like that will still be on the Roads having a License or not.
Really loved that cop. You could tell he genuinely cared about the rider by taking time out of his day to educate him and make him reevaluate his thought process, not just slap him with a ticket and leave. Really wish the dude would have stopped arguing and realized that he had a rare opportunity to learn from someone with clearly more experience.
Cop did amazing. I'm serious. I want to meet him. I can tell from his personality he was done seeing dead bikers. It's tough to NOT get defensive. The rider did his best and is humble enough to share the video. That's a win in my book.
Cop is absolutely spot on, just look over the pond, getting a motorcycle licence has got increasingly difficult over the years in attempt to reduce the number of fatalities involving bikes. I did my test in the UK in the 80's - just as easy to get a car licence as a bike licence, I did both a day apart.
I just did mine in the UK a few months ago now, and it seemed like never-ending testing with the mod1, mod2, theory. Like the HGV licence I did years ago. Now, though, I've heard they might do away with the mod1 now!? And in the HGV test, apparently, you don't have to do the reversing manoeuvre! Like 50% of what I do in the wagon is going backwards!
@@TheLiamis now 90% of bike crashes that lead to fatalities are from people on125cc bikes that have been hit. I honestly think we should do away with the CBT, keep it to something like doing your A2 License when you have 3 years driving experience or something like that, because at least then you have some on road experience before sticking a death trap between your legs. But back to the original point, 40-125cc bikes just prove to be more dangerous for riders because they don't have the power to get them out of sticky situations. Atleast any 125cc I've ridden, that's been the case
Yeah I did the motorcycle test in the '80s as well. After a week 9f training with Star Riders I was ready for the test. My radar was up and road awareness amplified. All 4oad users should be given a bike test before a car. That would reduce the crazies out there somewhat.
In Australia you have to have your Ls for a year before opens, and another 2 years before you can go over the learner approved power bikes. If you do a 2 day safety course, you cut that first Ls year down to 90 days. Pretty reliable for making sure every single new rider does the safety course.
This is the kind of cop where it actually makes you rethink how you ride and see yourself. Most other people would 100% just ticket him and be on their way. This hero wanted to make sure he's not having to arrive in a few weeks seeing the rider in 30 different spots on the road.
When that CHP on the bike showed up at once, you couldn’t do anything but laugh. As hard as the rider was going at it, you know the CHP was riding it even harder! Eat your hearts out, Ponch and Jon!
This. This is what policing should be like. This officer GETS it. Props to him. He completely schooled the driver without being a complete d-bag about it and immediately throwing the book at him. He knows his customers, understands what they are about but also won’t take shit from them. When the driver tells him „I swear I won’t do it again“ he cuts him off right there saying „Oh yes you will!“…that was just glorious. We need more dudes like him.
Motorcycle cop knows his stuff, I’ve been pulled over by guys like this as a young rider, never sassed them, always respectful, they usually gave me real world riding tips and more times than not cut me some slack
Let's take a look at this particular sergeant. He's an older fella, a sergeant in the CHP, and a moto-officer. Which, if you've ever seen the training they go through, lets us know that he's absolutely among the best riders alive. He works the high-speed interstates of California. I'm pretty sure his years on the force are double digits. How many motorcycle fatality accidents do you think he works every year? I'd just about bet he's seen the worst of the worst. How many times has he had to be the one to tell the parents of a super over-aggressive, and under experienced rider, that their son or daughter won't be coming home anymore? I'm pretty sure that he would much rather pull a biker over and chew his ass out rather than scraping him or her off 150 feet of jersey wall and the inside shoulder of the interstate. Best example of a great cop passionately doing his job EVER!
Good synopsis! He's also got the mourning band for a fellow officer, most likely hit by traffic if not shot. As you said, he's seen it all and he doesn't want to see more.
I've actually taken a liking to the European motorcycle cop courses. They actually teach their riders to stand and how to stop without putting a foot down. That can get you pulled over hear. I got pulled over for riding in a standing position.
Me too, by FL Highway Patrol. He was not a rider so he had no idea of the numerous good reasons to stand. I look around real good before standing. Sheriff Deputy rider said he wouldn’t stop someone for just standing, so like life, it depends.
I feel like a lot of these accidents are caused by one thing. "If a car can't do it, why can you?" The mentality with that question is why there's a lot of accidents. The bike is usually in a place that no one else in traffic would expect them to be. So why would anyone be looking for you? On the shoulder, in the tiny gap to catch the light, in whatever scenario it may be. Is that a normal traffic maneuver? Would anyone be expecting someone to potentially be there? Probably not. Ride safe.
The cop is 100% correct, I see bikers all the time doing whatever, it's fine, who cares. But years pass and ONE idiot on a Gixxer and 200 decibel non-exhaust blasts past me on the highway in traffic at 127mph, what do I think: "Damn, all these ASSHOLE pos bikers, man!" It's not fair, but then again most of human nature isn't.
This is exactly why it's better to verge filter than lane filter, and lane filtering is best done in slow or stationary traffic. Verge filtering gives you one single active lane to watch, and traffic stopped at intersections are completely stationary so you just need to look for ideally indicators and people that want to nudge into the next lane or specifically intentionally block you.
The last clip said that after passing his friend, he lost control and touched his rear wheel and crashed. The recording rider did a pretty good job calming his friend and telling him to stay calm and everything was fine. The crashed rider ended up with road rush (he was worried, that's why he pulled down his pants and asked if it were all right).
That officer was top notch, I'll bet he's a dad also haha! Our local police department has a program where they'll ride around with you for a while and give you pointers. I think I'll hit them up!
We need more moto cops like this smart one. I'm a daily rider for 40 years and every single day I see lousy riders out there putting all of us at risk and making us all look bad. Last week, I was splitting lanes at a comfortable 40 mph and this idiot on a sports bike split between the car and my bike at about 120, nearly hit me, nearly crashed into the car.
Good to see how officer cares regarding safety of motorcyclists and how there perceived by others in their actions, thank you for sharing these videos and your perspective, Ride on
Ha! Retired CHP here. I've stopped hundreds of these same knuckleheads. I've also scraped up countless riders who've died tragically. There is a very good reason Officers get highly agitated at stupid motorists. We get to see the bloody results of their stupidity almost daily. Please be careful out there :/
On a coast to coast tour of the US i was on my way back to Florida cruising along I10 through Texas & was pulled over by the Sheriff of Kimble County for doing about 90. I couldn’t deny it but thought the speed limits were higher in Texas. He corrected me, but rather than slapping me with a violation he shook my hand & wished me a safe journey. Best cop in the US!
When I was young I passes a cop while I was running 135 mph. I left him standing still. My buddy was trying to catch me and the cop pulled him over and gave him a ticket for a 110 in a 55. I pulled over and waited ten miles up the road. The cop came by and stopped, he ask why I stopped. I told him he gave my buddy a ticket so I figured I would stop, wait and take a ticket also. The cop told me he knew who I was and was not going to chase me since he knew where I lived. He gave me a ticket for 70 in a 55. He showed me the video and made a point to show me that while I was running that fast my tires were about half an inch off the road. I had no idea there was no rubber touching the road. I changed my riding habbits after that. Now I hate to go over 65. Be careful out there and ride safely.
Nice to see a good cop that can deal with the public in a positive way. This really seems to be an inexperienced rider and even less experience in the art of speaking to the police.
The last couple of times I got stopped on the expressway on my bike, the first thing I said to the cop was "do you mind if I dismount so we can step away from traffic?". Then I walked us off of the paved shoulder and a few feet into the grass. I made it a point to position myself so that I was looking upstream for approaching vehicles (although I would not have objected if the officer had wanted to be the one looking upstream - just as long as one of us is keeping an eye out). Kept my hands folded in front of me while we talked, asked permission before reaching anywhere for license/reg/insurance. Got a verbal warning each time, and I like to think my behavior helped with that (although my actual infractions didn't involve anything close to 90 MPH).
That cop was an instructor that day. Gave points where needed. Ye he could have just gave him a ticket & went on his way. He'd still do it then prob die from it. Instead he educated him, made sure he truely understood the ricks. This is how you protect the safety of the public! Yet cops like these still get put into a category that all cops are bad due to one bad egg. Same thing can happen to motorbike riders (us) stay safe & present us in the best light you can :)
Great to see you again! This cop probably saved a bunch of lives from this video. Original poster is saving lives because of his mistake, and now even more since we reviewed it. This is how we amplify the cops message!
@@DanDanTheFireman The circle of education! I'm sure the cop in the video. Definitely made people more self aware in these situations. I'm glad the OP posted the video & allowed more people to be educated. I'm here for reinforcement of infomation as skill makes me complacent. Which will cloud my judgement. Good to be here tho :)
For the record, it's not "Steering Dampener", it's "Steering Damper". To "dampen" is to slightly moisten. To "damp" is to suppress oscillations. Common mistake but it will endear you to the engineer crowd to get it right. Thanks for the quality content and analysis.
Hat’s off to that cop, and the rider, that’s how a “heated” encounter should end every time. There are bad cops out there but remember they’re doing their job
DanDan, please do pause the video whenever you feel the need to comment it! The part with the cop was the most entertainig and educational at the same time.
So many others have said it, but this cop is exemplary. It's obvious that his concern is keeping this guy safe, and that's such a great example of who should be part of the police force.
That was excellent . Fair dues to the guy sharing his cop stop..The cop was spot on..Watch these Dan shows regularly and definitely take on board all advice over here in Ireland ..recently road route 66 and not one engagement with the law..thankfully.
That Officer was awesome. And an important thing to remember, and I think Dan will agree, these guys, and the firemen and the EMT's and emergency services are the ones that have to go clean up the mess left by dumb dumbs. They don't want to jam anyone up, but they also don't want to pick anyone up in bits.
I’ve met lots of good Police Officers like this,and not just after being pulled over. If you’ve been pulled over it’s USUALLY for doing something boneheaded.
I get excited just watching these kinds of videos. I have seriously began doing breathing exercises while watching this content. It' been great practice😅
That CHP stop was right at my normal freeway on ramp for my daily commute ride @ I-14 & Newhall Ave. just North/East of the I-5 interchange. Dude was lucky. It's legal to split here, and sure, we all exceed the speed limit in California at times, but It's a stupid bad spot to carry that crazy amount of speed. So many people coming onto the freeway uphill and slow, and everyone trying to merge or split out onto three different routes across at least seven lanes. Exactly the same place where that Harley rider road rage kicked the car and caused another innocent driver to flip over a few years ago.
I'm a motorcyclist, and I'm glad "Lane Filtering" is illegal here. I hate it myself. Being from a state that doesn't allow it, the first time I went to a state that did, I want to slam right into that person. All it does is piss people off because they think they can do 50+ mph between slow moving rush hour traffic and get mad at anyone who calls them out on it.
Cops are also the guys that have to tell your loved ones why you didn't come home. A lot of people don't think how that would affect the cops. And how they respond when they pull you over.
I totally understand staying calm in those situations with other road users, and that you shouldn't take it personally, but i'll admit sometimes i do take it personally. Like tradesmen's utes who don't have their load secure and their ladder comes flying off the back. luckily i was paying attention and left a lot of space between him and myself. It's a very hard concept to put into practise but something that i work on every day, every ride.
This cop seems pretty cool. And yea, Dan is right - Arguing that you WERE checking your mirros, with guy who you did NOT know was BEHIND you, is pretty silly.
Your wrong on that one Dan. We are special, there are no doors, no airbags, no seatbelts, and no roof. We take the risk so…… We are special. Everything else you were spot on
I’ve always said it’s better to running consistent at 140mph + bc then you know they ain’t gonna come up behind you. Cruising at 80-100mph is just asking for trouble. 😂
haha i know that spot with the cop. thats my commute home every day and that's a sketchy stretch of road. everyone, cars and bikes, just open it up on that hill lol
I’m no cop but I say the same things to my friends who casually lanefilter and use the shoulder. Nicely, of course. But it is illegal and makes us all look bad. Good cop.
Cars can't lane filter, motorcycles can in a lot of states. But in most cases that does stand, most of the time if a car can't you can't but not every law
As far as that kid getting pulled over? I'd NEVER ride like that, flying past other cars! I'd never even lane split. Even at low speeds. It's just not safe! Cagers sometimes do stupid things while driving and maybe even while you're lane splitting! I just do not want to put myself in that position...
California does have some weird motorcycle rules like they are allowed to filter to cut down on traffic. The guy definitely needs a huge ticket to stop him from driving that recklessly
Did CHiP's get new Bikes? I enjoyed lane splitting when I lived in CA, but you can't trust Cages aren't going to violate the double yellow lines. Was he trying to talk himself into a ticket? Cop was epic!
i like to check on your vids time to time, nice reminders tho you could up by a notch your scale on the office background scene, the proportions aint right you look way to small (the scaling effect from perspective doesnt apply such a large modification from your scale sitting on the chairs we can see than you sitting behind the thing where you talk - sorry not english native - so you could take the chairs as a element to find the right scale (from the size of your back next to one chair) then do just a little scale down for your actual position) thanks for the content

Agree 110%

I've never even once in my life been happy to see a police officer, but this guy right here! What a WINNER. Great dude
I won't do it again.....Cop: No worry, you will lol.....That kill me!
This cop knows how to get it done. Only policemen with this style should be hired.
That cop was a true gentleman and a biker through and through.
You could see as much as he was angry he was concerned with educating him.
Cop or not, he's a great mentor. Imagine him as your road captain!

When you think you're all fast and shit splitting lanes, and a cop pulls up next to you on a bagger... Cop tore a righteous strip off of dude.
"If you don't like it, then hit the like button leave"

exactly, why would a driver expect someone to dash out at full speed during traffic in an intersection

I got total dad vibes. He's looking out for young men. Probably has a teenage, or college age son.
This cop is like a dad. Good job policing. Need more like this
Dan, right on. On bikes since 12yo. Motor cop for 5 years, did traffic for 20. This Chippy did well!
tyfys
That speed scares the hell out of drivers. Suddenly you are THERE.
I've rewatched the CHP interaction a few times. Great example and inspiration!
I'm super critical of cops and rightfully so. That cop is exactly what should be on the road. Calm, concerned, and highly competent. Well done, sir.

When I was young I passes a cop while I was running 135 mph. I left him standing still. My buddy was trying to catch me and the cop pulled him over and gave him a ticket for a 110 in a 55. I pulled over and waited ten miles up the road. The cop came by and stopped, he ask why I stopped. I told him he gave my buddy a ticket so I figured I would stop, wait and take a ticket also. The cop told me he knew who I was and was not going to chase me since he knew where I lived. He gave me a ticket for 70 in a 55. He showed me the video and made a point to show me that while I was running that fast my tires were about half an inch off the road. I had no idea there was no rubber touching the road. I changed my riding habbits after that. Now I hate to go over 65. Be careful out there and ride safely.
That intro jamming in the meeting room was hilarious. Love your videos man.
Nice to see a good cop that can deal with the public in a positive way. This really seems to be an inexperienced rider and even less experience in the art of speaking to the police.
We Need More Officers Like This Man!!! 🙏 for your services CHP
That officer gets Mad Respect! I Back The Blue!
The last couple of times I got stopped on the expressway on my bike, the first thing I said to the cop was "do you mind if I dismount so we can step away from traffic?". Then I walked us off of the paved shoulder and a few feet into the grass. I made it a point to position myself so that I was looking upstream for approaching vehicles (although I would not have objected if the officer had wanted to be the one looking upstream - just as long as one of us is keeping an eye out). Kept my hands folded in front of me while we talked, asked permission before reaching anywhere for license/reg/insurance. Got a verbal warning each time, and I like to think my behavior helped with that (although my actual infractions didn't involve anything close to 90 MPH).
That cop is absolutely right, best thing is to say thank you.
That cop was an instructor that day. Gave points where needed. Ye he could have just gave him a ticket & went on his way. He'd still do it then prob die from it. Instead he educated him, made sure he truely understood the ricks. This is how you protect the safety of the public! Yet cops like these still get put into a category that all cops are bad due to one bad egg. Same thing can happen to motorbike riders (us) stay safe & present us in the best light you can :)
Great to see you again!
This cop probably saved a bunch of lives from this video. Original poster is saving lives because of his mistake, and now even more since we reviewed it.
This is how we amplify the cops message!
@@DanDanTheFireman The circle of education! I'm sure the cop in the video. Definitely made people more self aware in these situations.
I'm glad the OP posted the video & allowed more people to be educated. I'm here for reinforcement of infomation as skill makes me complacent. Which will cloud my judgement. Good to be here tho :)
For the record, it's not "Steering Dampener", it's "Steering Damper". To "dampen" is to slightly moisten. To "damp" is to suppress oscillations. Common mistake but it will endear you to the engineer crowd to get it right. Thanks for the quality content and analysis.
Hat’s off to that cop, and the rider, that’s how a “heated” encounter should end every time. There are bad cops out there but remember they’re doing their job
As a tow truck driver. I try to educate riders on the dangers of riding. But not everyone listens.
Definitely a cool cop.
DanDan, please do pause the video whenever you feel the need to comment it!
The part with the cop was the most entertainig and educational at the same time.
I'd rather have a lecture, than a reckless driving ticket.
A good professional officer. His main goal was to educate the rider and make him safer..well done sir..
That cop was way nicer than he had any reason to be.
Doing 90 and you got beat by a cop on an electra glide.
Turn in your street Rossi card
So many others have said it, but this cop is exemplary. It's obvious that his concern is keeping this guy safe, and that's such a great example of who should be part of the police force.
straight up amazing cop. Wasnt trying to ruin the bikers day/week but was just trying to inform him on some safety.
This CHP Sergeant is great. He's really making a solid educational point, I like him.
That final one. Road rash on the ol schmeckle. Ouch!
Great policeman, need more like him.
7:11. Exactly. My 250cc dual sport. Outside air cooling down the motor. I put an oil cooler on it so I can sit with traffic.
Honest officer I was checking my mirrors the whole time, that's why I nearly cut someone up and caused a pile up when you told me to pull over.
That was excellent . Fair dues to the guy sharing his cop stop..The cop was spot on..Watch these Dan shows regularly and definitely take on board all advice over here in Ireland ..recently road route 66 and not one engagement with the law..thankfully.
4:12 The beard grab was priceless!!!
If that biker doesn't learn anything from that motorcycle cop, then he really is a fool. Just ride safe.
That Officer was awesome. And an important thing to remember, and I think Dan will agree, these guys, and the firemen and the EMT's and emergency services are the ones that have to go clean up the mess left by dumb dumbs. They don't want to jam anyone up, but they also don't want to pick anyone up in bits.
I’ve met lots of good Police Officers like this,and not just after being pulled over. If you’ve been pulled over it’s USUALLY for doing something boneheaded.
I get excited just watching these kinds of videos. I have seriously began doing breathing exercises while watching this content. It' been great practice😅
That CHP stop was right at my normal freeway on ramp for my daily commute ride @ I-14 & Newhall Ave. just North/East of the I-5 interchange.
Dude was lucky. It's legal to split here, and sure, we all exceed the speed limit in California at times, but It's a stupid bad spot to carry that crazy amount of speed. So many people coming onto the freeway uphill and slow, and everyone trying to merge or split out onto three different routes across at least seven lanes. Exactly the same place where that Harley rider road rage kicked the car and caused another innocent driver to flip over a few years ago.
The one at 17 min mark is in italy, not Chile. Basically what happened is that his buddy lost control and crashed, impacting the guy recording.
I'm a motorcyclist, and I'm glad "Lane Filtering" is illegal here. I hate it myself. Being from a state that doesn't allow it, the first time I went to a state that did, I want to slam right into that person. All it does is piss people off because they think they can do 50+ mph between slow moving rush hour traffic and get mad at anyone who calls them out on it.
Cops are also the guys that have to tell your loved ones why you didn't come home.
A lot of people don't think how that would affect the cops.
And how they respond when they pull you over.
What a great cop! All the things I have been saying to my son since I taught him to ride bikes.
I totally understand staying calm in those situations with other road users, and that you shouldn't take it personally, but i'll admit sometimes i do take it personally. Like tradesmen's utes who don't have their load secure and their ladder comes flying off the back. luckily i was paying attention and left a lot of space between him and myself.
It's a very hard concept to put into practise but something that i work on every day, every ride.
That applies to ALL drivers.
ALL drivers need to take it to heart.
😂😂😂 the finger counting during your breath exercise had me laughing 5:04
"If you don't like it, hit the like button and leave."
I'm dead bro.
That cop needs to be promoted to chief asap
This cop seems pretty cool. And yea, Dan is right - Arguing that you WERE checking your mirros, with guy who you did NOT know was BEHIND you, is pretty silly.
Your wrong on that one Dan. We are special, there are no doors, no airbags, no seatbelts, and no roof. We take the risk so…… We are special. Everything else you were spot on
I’ve always said it’s better to running consistent at 140mph + bc then you know they ain’t gonna come up behind you. Cruising at 80-100mph is just asking for trouble. 😂
That cip was soooo right so many mistakes that could've have killed him he had to check him
We need to find out the actual date and location, then submit huge positive emails in to ppraise this officer. Priceless¡
That would be nice. I'll bet he's got a solid reputation on the force.
I have a bike in the US and France. Both have quadlock. It is absolutely the best. The Arm is a nightmare.
haha i know that spot with the cop. thats my commute home every day and that's a sketchy stretch of road. everyone, cars and bikes, just open it up on that hill lol
I’m no cop but I say the same things to my friends who casually lanefilter and use the shoulder. Nicely, of course. But it is illegal and makes us all look bad. Good cop.
I like that you promote safety! Pausing the clip 10x is kind of annoying tho. let it play through, and then go back and pause if you have to.
Cars can't lane filter, motorcycles can in a lot of states. But in most cases that does stand, most of the time if a car can't you can't but not every law
As far as that kid getting pulled over? I'd NEVER ride like that, flying past other cars! I'd never even lane split. Even at low speeds. It's just not safe! Cagers sometimes do stupid things while driving and maybe even while you're lane splitting! I just do not want to put myself in that position...
In my opinion the cop saved the rider life, not only this time... good education for the future too
I died at hit the like button and leave...comedy gold!
Ayyy
How do say "he took it out Jerry" in Chilean?
Great cop, He is trying to give sound reasoning. Do what right, no excuses for breaking the law.
California does have some weird motorcycle rules like they are allowed to filter to cut down on traffic. The guy definitely needs a huge ticket to stop him from driving that recklessly
The officer was so cool
That cop is a real legend.
Did CHiP's get new Bikes? I enjoyed lane splitting when I lived in CA, but you can't trust Cages aren't going to violate the double yellow lines. Was he trying to talk himself into a ticket? Cop was epic!
i like to check on your vids time to time, nice reminders
tho you could up by a notch your scale on the office background scene, the proportions aint right you look way to small (the scaling effect from perspective doesnt apply such a large modification from your scale sitting on the chairs we can see than you sitting behind the thing where you talk - sorry not english native - so you could take the chairs as a element to find the right scale (from the size of your back next to one chair) then do just a little scale down for your actual position)
thanks for the content
I hope that guy listens to the cop and takes all his advice
As someone who's had more run ins with the police than I can count, honesty goes a long way.
I've never touched a motorcycle in my life and I feel like I would be a perfect rider after watching these videos 🤣
