What an amazing video! I skimmed part of it...but I have to say Hollywood couldn't make a video like that. Reminds of the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie with the chase. Amazing near the end the cop still caught up

Both of them chases with passengers on the bike. I'd rather be chased in Finland for sure, beautiful chase scenery

Wonder what happened to the second person on the bike in the Brazilian race.....with the light-gray jacket?

It was amazing how that first bike, with the weight of two persons, was able to consistently outrun the cops. He must have had an engine with a lot more spunk.

I know that chases like this are risky, but IMO are sometimes justified.

Didn't have time to watch the Finland race.....I'll catch it later.

at one point in the video they highlight the guy in gray running away so he got off.

i think it was more the insane chances he took on those potholed narrow streets!

The cops in the video suck at riding bikes. When someone two up out runs you, you suck at riding. If you look at the speeds, they were going pretty slow for the most part. 50 - 60 kmh isn't neck breaking speed. 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?

I watched the second video you posted. Looked like a race to see who would be first across the Finnish line.

I notice you are in the UK. Does Domino's even operate in Europe?

Well if they don’t delivering 10 pizzas to me last Thursday night was an even more impressive feat!







(They’ve been in UK for 35 years and have over 1200 branches)
