I'm curious... why did he hold on? I mean, it wasn't that he was hooked on it.

That was my thought. Seems that he was just bull-headed. Of course, he's a 62 year old traffic cop, so he's probably not quite right in the head anyway.

That kind of pride will get you killed. And, have the media screaming about how dangerous the motorcycle rider is.

I am not in any way excusing the actions of the rider. But, the report said the officer chased the rider at 100+ speeds then he came up on him at the light after exiting the freeway. The video shows the rider stopped behind a car at the light - I'm willing to bet the rider had no idea the officer was chasing him. If he was aware of it, why would he stop for the light?

So the officer moves his car over, gets out of the car and puts his hand on the rider. Rider then takes off with the officer holding onto the back of the bike. The officer probably scared the ever-loving-shit out of the rider by coming up to him on foot at a light. And, why would you go behind the bike? Why not walk in front of it... put a hand up... take the key out?? Something other than behind the bike and hand on shoulder. Weird.

But, it's the BIKE's fault.

It sounded like the biker passed the cop and the cop had an opportunity to catch up to him at the off ramp. My first impression was that the cop scared the shit out the biker too, but I wouldn't put it past the biker for just taking off even knowing he was a cop. I have to admit I didn't think of the flashing lights at first.

I'm glad that he didn't get hurt. I really really am. But, that was hilarious...

How the hell are you guys all finding the video? First time I clicked the link it played a video of Angelina Jolie arriving at a Turkish airport. Second time it played a video about Greece making big gov't changes.
