So they had ten bikes all speeding like that?

The guy leading them on the chase just wouldn't say die, even with the bike wallowing like a wounded whale because it was so overloaded. I was about to lose it when they went into the second lap of the same course. Cops learned nothing from the first lap...

But hey, I've only ridden and raced about 250k miles on motorcycles. What could I know?
assume you're talking about brazil video and not finland one, not that it matters.

as for all your riding, i assume none of it was while being chased by police through narrow roads, or being the chaser, who also has a responsibility to not kill other people. #easytobeacritic

Your assumption might not be entirely accurate.

I always wondered - what does lobux in your nickname stand for? I am clear on the racer part.

I'll let him verify it, but it sounds to me like a spin-off of the term "Low-Bucks", which would suggest racing-machines that don't cost a fortune to buy or prepare.

Low bucks. Never had enough money to go racing the way I wanted to go. But few can ever say they do. When you're making major economic decisions between food and fuel, you get where I was when I was racing motorcycles.

The perps must have done something really bad, like rape or murder, to deserve that kind of a pursuit. Otherwise, was it really worth risking all the innocents lives? It was hard to tell who was crazier, the perps or the cops!

I have brazilian friends, and the thing is, you can never know what they have done. But two youngsters on a bike comminting heinous and horrible crimes are a widespread problem there. If they didn't kill somebody, it is just a question of time before they will.

Here the "norwegian way".
