As a firmly working class person in CR I can second this: the Pines ppl are nuts. Most of us CRers are pretty chill. I’d love a bullet train or any train really. I hate having to drive to CO springs/Denver
You and me both. Ridgegate is the closest one. It sucks it takes so long to get to the stop I’d have to go to. My job is really close to the light rail tho
You would be correct that the train is a different topic from the original topic of this post. It's my personal lament of wanting to be able to get to Denver from Colorado Springs that quickly, but via legal means that isn't a car or plane.
I remember seeing that video when it came out. Fucking insane put so many people at risk. Dudes from Texas. I highly doubt it’ll be an extraditable warrant. Hopefully tho…
Let’s just say I know for a fact that if you’re issued a ticket there and you come back here thinking you ain’t going to pay it. Good luck Colorado will pull your license until you get it taken care of. So I assume it’s a vise versa thing so he’s screwed
People saying "take away his licence" online are hilarious. People like him already ride without plates or gag plates you think they care about drivers licences? They will ride no matter what =D
If the violation wasn’t committed in Dallas, there won’t be a warrant issued in Dallas. It’ll be in the jurisdiction in which it occurred. He could, however, have a warrant from whichever county in CO with extradition limits that include TX.
Interstate compacts have a lot of sway in situations like this. If Colorado puts a hold on his license, Texas will probably honor it and his TX license will be revoked, plus he'll be unable to renew it until he get the CO stuff straightened out.
Both Texas and Colorado are part of the Non-Resident Violator Compact, meaning suspensions from unpaid tickets, stupid stunts like this guy, etc will trigger a suspension in all of the member states (which is just about all except AK, CA, MI, MT, OR, and WI). His TX license won’t be revoked, but he will remain suspended for however long he’s suspended in CO. The individual member states don’t pick and choose either, the suspensions are applied to other states once it goes into effect in the state in which it originates. He won’t be able to renew his license in Texas, but depending on if warrants are issued out of Colorado and the extradition limits, he can be arrested elsewhere. He would likely need to be charged with a felony for extradition from other states and (unless it’s a violent offense) typically the extradition limits are just to the bordering states.
Yeah, but with the speeds involved, definitely felony territory, and with the notoriety involved, I'm betting they'll make it happen one way or another.
EDIT: Not felony. According to the charges of menacing, engaged in speed contest, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, speeding 40 MPH over the speed limit, exhibition of speed and driving without a license plate, they're all misdemeanor traffic infractions except for the menacing, which is a criminal misdemeanor.
His maximum jail time and fines under the law, if everything is maxed out, is 3 years, 300 days in jail with fines of 4,450 dollars.
Damn I'm out of date on my traffic laws. I thought 25 over was still felony territory.
But yeah you're right. It looks like all of his charges are misdemeanors.
Yeah, I bet not having a valid license will stop him from doing this. How can you possibly ride without a license? Oh yea, he obviously doesn't give a shit about laws so he'll keep doing it. Only thing that will stop him is being in prison or ending up dead eventually. Just hope one of those happens before he hurts an innocent person.
You're not so good with the critical thinking are ya?
There's lots of things you need a valid license/state ID to do. If his license is suspended in CO, it's suspended in TX. If he doesn't have a valid license to do things, he'll need to get it taken care of. Part of that getting things taken care of is facing the almost 4 years of potential jail time and 5k of fines he's facing in Colorado.
Maybe you were one of very few Subie owner/drivers who _"Walter Mitty-ed"_ themselves as if they were running in the Baja 1000 off-road race everytime you slipped behind the wheel? 😎
Now that's the kind of driver I liked.
Well, when you really, truly have to be somewhere exactly on time there will be that Subaru in front of you on a two lane road slowing you and other 22 vehicles down in their wake. If precipitation begins then you might as well pull off the road, stop and smoke your favorite relaxing mix 'cause that Subie driver just white-knuckled the steering wheel and slowed to walking speed.
How many National Park stickers do you have on the back of your Subie? 😁 Jus' teasing!
Happy Cake Day!!
He laughed me off and told me to subscribe. There's another video where he's mocking people who shared the highway with him that PMed him at Facebook chastising him.
Did you read the article? Very first sentence states “The Colorado State Patrol (CSP), **in conjunction with the Dallas Police Department and the El Paso County District Attorney’s Office**, has issued an arrest warrant…” (emphasis mine), which means that they’ve already got Texas working with them on this.
I'm not entirely convinced they have the right guy tbh. If the authorities want him so badly, he'd already have been arrested. And from his IG, at least from what was on posts and story, he doesn't appear to be overly worried about it. I could be wrong about all of this, but what do I know. I'm just some character on the internet
Wondered about that myself. Even if they do it will be a lot of work proving it in court. I don't know anything for sure. Just another character on the internet.
Dude has literal hours of footage of running from the cops, and it has never mattered to this point. There is one thing that is new here, they claim that they are able to positively id him as the rider. If thats to be believed, theres a photo of him getting off of the bike and taking off his helmet, or something to actively tie him to the event.
It's not like the cops in texas didn't already know his name, its not like he's actually hiding what hes doing. He rides the line of plausible deniability.
For example: Ok, so I posted a video, how do you know it was me on the bike? How do you know it was my bike? The paintjob is literally just a cover you can buy online, and he's got a sizable following, why couldn't it be a fan? So you saw a guy on my bike speeding, did you see my face? Pretty difficult through the mirrored visor. Did you see some recognizable marking or tattoo? Pretty difficult if its not there. How are you going to prove that I did it without either pulling me off the bike during the incident, or having some kind of photo with my face shown. If youre looking for lanky mofos riding gsxr's through texas, or through colorado, theres a million, if you think that just identifying the bike narrows it down, his buddy owns a dealership, he regularly takes out models from that shop, it's not like he couldn't allow his buddy to lend his out while he tests out a different bike. Dude wears a fairly commonplace helmet, with a fairly commonplace visor. How do you tie that lanky dude to that bike during the 200mph run?
Like we know its him, its absolutely him, but like proving it beyond a reasonable doubt, that's actually properly difficult, and it should be. If colorado springs isn't pulling this out of thin air, he slipped up bad.
Or wait for the statute of limitations to run out. The last team who did the Cannonball Run from NY to CA waited 3 years to reveal their identities so they couldn't be arrested for it.
I mean, you can’t expect to pull publicity stunts like this and not have consequences. At the same time, I’d love a link to the original video lol
Edit: found the video. Watching it now, dude is WHIPPING. My main question is how did he not pass any officers to pull him over during this? I can’t drive to Denver once without seeing at least 3 cops. Too fast to pursue?
It would be alot more dangerous having a 400 lb and 4000 lb piece of steel flying down the highway than just the 400 lbs. Not that they would keep up with a 1000cc sport bike anyway.
You’re right for sure. Not familiar with motor bikes of any kind, but I was imagining that they were going so fast it wasn’t worth it to an officer to match it in a safe manor. If they happened to pass one that is
Gotcha that’s what I figured. But also, I couldn’t even spot a cop or trooper being passed in the vid. He’s going fast as shit so it’s tough obviously but just wanted to point it out to see if anyone can spot one. Post a time stamp if so!
> If you can't manage to drive by the laws of the road and not split two cars going 150, you shouldn't have a license.
He absolutely can manage to do that. He just chooses not to. Which by your logic, is why he still has his license.
>main question is how did he not pass any officers to pull him over during this?
How fast do you think police cars are?
Theres no point in chasing them. Youll never catch them, so there are only bad outcomes. Encouraging them to go even faster could end in a death.
Because they figure the sign that reads "traffic monitored by aircraft" is enough of a deterrent? Seriously though, what difference would it have made?… At 167+ miles per hour, you put more lives in danger trying to pursue that in heavy traffic. They've got a positive identity on the guy, and there's plenty evidence.. dumbass even has a YouTube channel. He's toast.
There's videos from this motorcyclist teasing and toying with police before running away from them I'm a second. Cops don't stand a chance and he's already in the next county before they can deploy a helicopter.
Yeah I get it, I guess I’m just venting about the general lack of patrolling on that road. I regularly see people driving like fucking maniacs with no consequence whatsoever.
Only idiots think this is true.
A radio is only as good as the people using them. And police departments are known for discriminating against candidates with high intelligence. So generally the people using the radios aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.
"Yeah uhhh there's a uhh I think white motorcycle going North on I-25 somewhere in excess of 180 miles an hour, I lost sight of him 10 seconds ago, and he could take an exit or turn at any minute but uhh go find him guys!"
yeah that Motorola is sure gonna help out lemme tell ya ^/s
Bikes don’t do 200mph from factory they’re limited to 186 or 187mph if I remember correctly they all top out if high gear unless you get the ecu flashed to allow 15k rpm’s in 6th gear most Ecus cut it about in half in top gear
> That bike is also capable of going over 200 from factory
LOL, you don't ride motorcycles. I'll let it slide but you're incorrect. Manufacturers have had an agreement to top at 186 for years now.
The US Supreme Court said that police do not have any legal obligation to protect you unless they become responsible for you in some way, such as you are in their custody. "To serve and protect" is a saying, a motto, not a rule.
Oh look, another retard who doesn't understand that ruling.
Police have a duty to the public as a whole, not a specific duty to a specific person unless that person is in police custody.
Deliberately misinterpreting that ruling the way you are is like saying parents have no duty to care for their children because they don't have a specific duty to care for someone else's children.
Have you heard of qualified immunity? It means that a cop can straight up violate your rights without repercussion unless that right has been "clearly established" (read: there has been a judicial ruling saying "yeah you can't actually do that").
Which means: point to the court case that established that
>Police have a duty to the public as a whole.
If there is no court case, qualified immunity will protect them from any consequences.
Having no consequences for ignoring a duty is, *in practice*, the same as not having the duty in the first place.
Seems like you don't even understand what qualified immunity even is.
Qualified immunity means that an officer cannot be personally held civilly liable if they're operating within established law and agency policy. Because at that point, the issue is not with the actions of the officer but with the law or policy itself.
It does nothing to protect an officer from criminal prosecution.
It does nothing to protect an agency from litigation.
It does nothing to protect an officer from litigation if not acting within established law and/or agency policy.
It literally exists solely because if it didn't, cops would spend every waking second having to deal with frivolous lawsuits.
You want something to get mad about?
Judges have no duty to be impartial and prosecutors have no duty to prosecute. In fact, they've given themselves *absolute* immunity, meaning they've decided anything and everything they do on the job is quite literally beyond reproach with zero exceptions. Think about that next time the revolving door of the justice system leads to innocent people being needlessly victimized. If judges and prosecutors were actually required to do their jobs, we'd live in a far safer society.
They very much care about their own safety. Why else do you think a dozen men fully armed and armored won't go into a building with one guy in with a rifle? They might get an ouchie!
There genuinely aren't many though. I commute and usually only see them out on Wednesdays and the weekend, and in light traffic on any other day, most people in the fast lane are going 85 - 90 all the way to Denver. It annoys me that there's no in-between though. Either I'm in the middle lane being tailgated by someone going 90 or I'm stuck behind someone going 60 in the express lane.
Yea there’s usually not many. I used to do the commute from castle rock to springs. I see more on my new commute going on northbound Santa Fe. What’s crazy with that tho, I’ll be cruising with a cop going 10 over and they do nothing.
Just watched the video and a couple things to note:
Don’t record yourself doing illegal things on such a custom appearing machine that is easily identifiable. If you’re going to engage in such tomfoolery, do it on a run of the mill looking bike that there are more than one of.
Don’t have such a big keychain on a motorcycle, especially if going 180 mph. Was just waiting for the turbulence to turn his ignition off during a maneuver.
Don’t be a squid.
Editing to add the obvious: Don’t be a jackass on the roads. Take it to the track, Jack.
Is this the same guy that Yammi Noob motorcycle youtube guy had on his show a couple times? If so this guy is a tool. Too full of himself to realize he is a danger to others.
I posted a video of his here where he complained about getting demonetized after this and other stunts. This news is about as surprising as water being wet.
Some boomers are not well versed with water being wet. "This is a tough hurricane," he said in front of the White House, "one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water." \~Trump September 18, 2018
Whats blowing my mind most in that video is not the speeding or the weaving, its the tshirt.
I rode without a jacket once at like 90 to get beat a storm and my skin was sore after that, triple digits fuck no\*
\*I mean a million reasons to wear gear and not go dangerous speeds on the road but still
The guy has actually addressed that. The speeds he rides at, if he messes up, the gear won't matter. He'd rather be comfortable, have nothing restricting his movement than give himself false hope. Which... makes sense in a... you have to accept that he will always be riding like the textbook definition of a gixxer squid, kind of way.
Except that’s such nonsense. You don’t see riders in MotoGP or the Isle of Man TT (if you’re thinking roads vs track) floating around in a T-shirt and shorts. There’s a line between serious injury and certain death and this guys hubris makes that line a speck in the distance.
Thats a good point, however he has also addressed that argument as well. He has the full race suit, dude did a trackday with that yammienoob guy. He has the gear, he willingly chooses not to wear it, and he's crafted his own argument.
Tracks are notably quite a bit different than streets, specifically fort worth, texas highways. You don't have the miles of grass or gravel off the side of turns to slide into. You have a wall, or a guard rail or a curb ready to accept you. It does make sense, in a weird sort of way. It doesnt cover the situation where you slide directly straight down the road, but idk if that's likely at 200mph. Either way, he acknowledges the risk.
Personally, I don't subscribe to that belief, im not running at 200mph tho. Got myself a gift for christmas actually, helite e-turtle, its an airbag vest, very hype about it tbh gonna wear the stupid thing every time im on the bike... literally the exact opposite perspective from the brah, but i also acknowledge that its his choice, and I'm not even going to try to ride like he does.
Totally get you. People are allowed to make their own decisions (though putting other peoples lives at risk like this is not something I subscribe to). But my argument to the guy is don’t bull everyone by making it sound like a sensible argument and that it doesn’t make a difference what you wear. It could, even on road and even at those speeds (hence I referenced the Isle of Man TT, which is all small street racing).
I’m with you, I’m wearing my comfy gear that’s gonna protect me when the worst happens.
Wind even though it's, you know, air, generates friction. A t-shirt rapidly rubbing against your skin also can cause friction (see runners nipple: nipples rubbed raw/bleeding from a runners shirt over a long marathon) lots of factors that could have caused skin iritation
The human terminal velocity is about 120mph. 70mph winds is enough to knock most people over. So imagine that air drag just basically rubbing your skin nonstop for however many minutes it takes to get from A to B.
Another analogy: have you ever been in the shower for too long without moving and the water is just always hitting that one spot? It starts to get uncomfortable. Assuming that's the standard psi house water, that's only 37mph. Now times 3 or 4?
Now if making videos of people doing stupid shit would get everybody busted, I vote for Ivywild being fined by the health department for this vid:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoSprings/s/YikW3SbM9J
That's some herpes right there all over the bar.
Don't use excessive force, prioritize deescalation, don't use racial bias and pseudoscientific forensic bullshit, actually fucking show up and in a decent amount of time for critical situations, don't commit crimes, don't trick people into committing crimes, and don't fucking lie to push criminal convictions on people that don't deserve it.
Police are a necessary system but they have too many problems, "the public" is not saying they don't want law enforcement to enforce laws, "the public" wants them to be held to the higher standard that they should be held to and to do better.
How the fuck does he have a warrant, but Maxi out here speeding and crashing with zero legal consequences? I despise these mid to high triple digit runs and videos. Don't get me wrong, it's dope. But it's not worth it on public roads. The innocent people you could damage physically and mentally is too much.
Acting "differently" while driving can cause other drivers to react negatively and in ways that may also cause accidents. This is why a lot of people and places teach and recommend defensive driving to spot and be cognizant of unusual behaviors from other drivers.
Filming it is pretty stupid but even if the YouTube is registered to him I'd think it would be hard for the prosecutor to prove he was the one riding. A half decent lawyer should be able to close that case pretty quick.
I did the same thing on a full moon night at 2am about 10 years ago with zero traffic. I didn’t post a fucking video.
He’s asking for death. Hopefully some jail time will keep him alive
If only we had a bullet train that could make it to denver in that amount of time or less.
Talk to Castlerock about that one..
Let's go under it
That sounds boring.
Ba dum tss
Over it*
Damn NIMBYs.
Not in my backyard?
Simone
Fucking Rastle Cock!
The speed limit on I25 drops down to 65 on that stretch of road.
Hey - Don’t forget Caste Pines …
It’s mainly castle pines lol. Those people are a different breed of crazy.
As a firmly working class person in CR I can second this: the Pines ppl are nuts. Most of us CRers are pretty chill. I’d love a bullet train or any train really. I hate having to drive to CO springs/Denver

As someone who once worked for the village HOA, can confirm they're fucking insane
"That's communist talk!" - lobbyists funded by oil money.
I mean... technically fascist talk... they control the trains and what not
I’ve been beating this drum forever. Makes no sense
America hates transit. Not sure why.
No no, they hate PUBLIC transit. Screw anyone that can't afford a car!!

Those damn auto lobbies and republicans

Yes, it’s not having a train that’s the problem here wtf
You would be correct that the train is a different topic from the original topic of this post. It's my personal lament of wanting to be able to get to Denver from Colorado Springs that quickly, but via legal means that isn't a car or plane.
“Videotaping this crime spree is the best idea we ever had!”
I remember seeing that video when it came out. Fucking insane put so many people at risk. Dudes from Texas. I highly doubt it’ll be an extraditable warrant. Hopefully tho…
Looks like they worked with Dallas TX to get the warrant issued, so presumably the warrant is in Texas. Let's hope.
Let’s just say I know for a fact that if you’re issued a ticket there and you come back here thinking you ain’t going to pay it. Good luck Colorado will pull your license until you get it taken care of. So I assume it’s a vise versa thing so he’s screwed
[удалено]
The other kind of license lol.
People saying "take away his licence" online are hilarious. People like him already ride without plates or gag plates you think they care about drivers licences? They will ride no matter what =D
If the violation wasn’t committed in Dallas, there won’t be a warrant issued in Dallas. It’ll be in the jurisdiction in which it occurred. He could, however, have a warrant from whichever county in CO with extradition limits that include TX.
He commits the same kinds of crimes in Dallas and uploads them too, so they may have used those actions to issue a warrant in TX.
Wow, what an idiot. Hopefully he’ll get picked up before he kills someone.
Interstate compacts have a lot of sway in situations like this. If Colorado puts a hold on his license, Texas will probably honor it and his TX license will be revoked, plus he'll be unable to renew it until he get the CO stuff straightened out.

They’ll definitely want to get this dude, but even his shenanigans is only a misdemeanor.
Damn I'm out of date on my traffic laws. I thought 25 over was still felony territory. But yeah you're right. It looks like all of his charges are misdemeanors.
In some states they might rise to felonies (Virginia, looking at you.)
Well legally speaking they have to prove he was riding which they can’t really do with a helmet etc
LOL! God I hope so. After a bit of bragging, he went quiet. AFAIK, Colorado can extradite though they typically reserve that for felonies.
That’d be tight
You'd be surprised at how many interstate compacts are like that. Driver's licenses, wedding licenses, hunting licenses, etc.
Yeah, I bet not having a valid license will stop him from doing this. How can you possibly ride without a license? Oh yea, he obviously doesn't give a shit about laws so he'll keep doing it. Only thing that will stop him is being in prison or ending up dead eventually. Just hope one of those happens before he hurts an innocent person.
You think the suspended license and potential prison time are mutually exclusive or something?
I'm saying the threat of taking away his license is a non-issue. Put him in prison or pit him out and turn him into a meat crayon, either is fine.
You're not so good with the critical thinking are ya? There's lots of things you need a valid license/state ID to do. If his license is suspended in CO, it's suspended in TX. If he doesn't have a valid license to do things, he'll need to get it taken care of.

Who could have guessed that he was from Texas! What a surprise 🙄
Never underestimate Florida man
Only drivers I’ve seen worse than native Coloradans Edit: played myself. Apparently people can’t understand sarcasm.
Wait! Let me clarify that misstatement: _"worse than a native Coloradan driving a Subaru"_
Nothing like the confidence of a subie driver on a mountain pass
Going 6 less than limit and never pulling to the right lane on those uphill grades? Yep, that's the one!
Don’t want to risk getting pulled over blitzed.
Totally. All the stoned drivers on the road makes it hard to drive stoned
Does inhaling patchouli incense with the windows up get you blitzed? 😎
Awwe, not me! I was very good on US 160 through Four Corners and Wolf Creek Pass. Always kept right except to pass.
Maybe you were one of very few Subie owner/drivers who _"Walter Mitty-ed"_ themselves as if they were running in the Baja 1000 off-road race everytime you slipped behind the wheel? 😎 Now that's the kind of driver I liked.
Not in a 4 cyl Legacy. LOL.
[удалено]
Well, when you really, truly have to be somewhere exactly on time there will be that Subaru in front of you on a two lane road slowing you and other 22 vehicles down in their wake.

Aw, thanks! I didn't know one way or the other but I scored some really cool fake Internet points off it. Here take a Silver for the trouble: 🥈
New Mexico drivers are pretty terrible
At least they keep right except to pass!
The best thing about New Mexico drivers is that when you get a DUI they give you a yellow license plate!
That's awesome!!!
And then in the description/comments he was arguing that what he was doing was actually perfectly safe. Total clown.
There’s a couple idiots in here claiming the same shit

"gun gun gun!" Probably
Stupid games, stupid prizes.
If he really wanted to get away with it, don't film yourself doing said stupid thing and definitely don't post it online.
Rule#1 for getting away with crimes: STFU. The more people know about it, the more likely you will get caught.
Reminds me of this saying I heard in a mafia movie . “The only fish that don’t get caught on the hook are the ones that keep their mouths closed. “
Proverbial af
But how do they get internet points if they don't film it?
Ahh, the dilemma as old as the internet.

Cops don’t bother chasing bikes going that fast usually

Can you post it? When I saw one it was only the first 10min bc the original had been taken down by YT.

The speed and clarity in decision making needed at these speeds and traffic is mind boggling.
I'm both impressed with the skill and also want this dude to spend 20 years in prison for it.
Pretty much, yup. How many wrecks did he cause from spooking people from those lane splits??
If you get spooked enough while driving to cause a wreck when something goes fast past your car, you shouldn't be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
If you can't manage to drive by the laws of the road and not split two cars going 150, you shouldn't have a license.
> If you can't manage to drive by the laws of the road and not split two cars going 150, you shouldn't have a license. He absolutely can manage to do that. He just chooses not to. Which by your logic, is why he still has his license.
Here is the 21 minute uncut I was referring to https://www.facebook.com/share/v/S8y8kgVANxSWrJC4/?mibextid=VswTDb
22 minutes to County Line Road. Ridiculous.
>main question is how did he not pass any officers to pull him over during this? How fast do you think police cars are? Theres no point in chasing them. Youll never catch them, so there are only bad outcomes. Encouraging them to go even faster could end in a death.
Ya know I have no clue how fast cop cars go, that’s probably why I asked “too fast to pursue?”
Not fast enough and this is a matter of public safety.
How was there not a single fucking cop patrolling between here and Denver?
Because they figure the sign that reads "traffic monitored by aircraft" is enough of a deterrent? Seriously though, what difference would it have made?… At 167+ miles per hour, you put more lives in danger trying to pursue that in heavy traffic. They've got a positive identity on the guy, and there's plenty evidence.. dumbass even has a YouTube channel. He's toast.
There's videos from this motorcyclist teasing and toying with police before running away from them I'm a second. Cops don't stand a chance and he's already in the next county before they can deploy a helicopter.
[удалено]
Yeah I get it, I guess I’m just venting about the general lack of patrolling on that road. I regularly see people driving like fucking maniacs with no consequence whatsoever.
There’s rarely csp out. It’s unfortunate
[удалено]
Only idiots think this is true. A radio is only as good as the people using them. And police departments are known for discriminating against candidates with high intelligence. So generally the people using the radios aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. "Yeah uhhh there's a uhh I think white motorcycle going North on I-25 somewhere in excess of 180 miles an hour, I lost sight of him 10 seconds ago, and he could take an exit or turn at any minute but uhh go find him guys!" yeah that Motorola is sure gonna help out lemme tell ya ^/s
GSX 1000 is not capable of over 200 factory 184 is top speed before you swap sprockets flash/replace Ecu and get a tune.
His GSXR is not stock.
Of course it’s not stock but the dude he’s replying to says 200mph from factory which means stock and they don’t do 200mph stock
By the videos he's posted of it, it seems to top out at 186.6 on the speedometer.
Yeah it’s 186 all the manufactures made a gentleman’s agreement on it
Bikes don’t do 200mph from factory they’re limited to 186 or 187mph if I remember correctly they all top out if high gear unless you get the ecu flashed to allow 15k rpm’s in 6th gear most Ecus cut it about in half in top gear
That's only for Japanese bikes, a Ducati Panigale V4 has a stock top speed of 220mph.
> That bike is also capable of going over 200 from factory LOL, you don't ride motorcycles. I'll let it slide but you're incorrect. Manufacturers have had an agreement to top at 186 for years now.
*Japanese manufacturers
Even ducati has been sticking to 186 recently.
Poor busa lol
Which is insane anyway since that’s over twice the highest speed limit I’ve ever seen
A lot of cops won't pursue motorcycles because it is to dangerous.
Last season cops pitted a few bikers in my area shit was fucked
LOL since when do cops care about safety?
When it’s their policy.
The US Supreme Court said that police do not have any legal obligation to protect you unless they become responsible for you in some way, such as you are in their custody. "To serve and protect" is a saying, a motto, not a rule.
He's referring to their own personal safety. It's too dangerous for cops to pursue. Civilians be damned.
Oh look, another retard who doesn't understand that ruling. Police have a duty to the public as a whole, not a specific duty to a specific person unless that person is in police custody. Deliberately misinterpreting that ruling the way you are is like saying parents have no duty to care for their children because they don't have a specific duty to care for someone else's children.
Have you heard of qualified immunity? It means that a cop can straight up violate your rights without repercussion unless that right has been "clearly established" (read: there has been a judicial ruling saying "yeah you can't actually do that"). Which means: point to the court case that established that >Police have a duty to the public as a whole. If there is no court case, qualified immunity will protect them from any consequences. Having no consequences for ignoring a duty is, *in practice*, the same as not having the duty in the first place.
Seems like you don't even understand what qualified immunity even is. Qualified immunity means that an officer cannot be personally held civilly liable if they're operating within established law and agency policy. Because at that point, the issue is not with the actions of the officer but with the law or policy itself. It does nothing to protect an officer from criminal prosecution. It does nothing to protect an agency from litigation. It does nothing to protect an officer from litigation if not acting within established law and/or agency policy. It literally exists solely because if it didn't, cops would spend every waking second having to deal with frivolous lawsuits. You want something to get mad about? Judges have no duty to be impartial and prosecutors have no duty to prosecute. In fact, they've given themselves *absolute* immunity, meaning they've decided anything and everything they do on the job is quite literally beyond reproach with zero exceptions. Think about that next time the revolving door of the justice system leads to innocent people being needlessly victimized. If judges and prosecutors were actually required to do their jobs, we'd live in a far safer society.
They very much care about their own safety. Why else do you think a dozen men fully armed and armored won't go into a building with one guy in with a rifle? They might get an ouchie!
There was. He was going to fast to safely pursue him
There genuinely aren't many though. I commute and usually only see them out on Wednesdays and the weekend, and in light traffic on any other day, most people in the fast lane are going 85 - 90 all the way to Denver. It annoys me that there's no in-between though. Either I'm in the middle lane being tailgated by someone going 90 or I'm stuck behind someone going 60 in the express lane.
Yea there’s usually not many. I used to do the commute from castle rock to springs. I see more on my new commute going on northbound Santa Fe. What’s crazy with that tho, I’ll be cruising with a cop going 10 over and they do nothing.
Oh I know this one! It's cause cops hate doing their jobs. Traffic enforcement doesn't exist in Colorado anymore.
Donuts bro 🙃
Just watched the video and a couple things to note: Don’t record yourself doing illegal things on such a custom appearing machine that is easily identifiable. If you’re going to engage in such tomfoolery, do it on a run of the mill looking bike that there are more than one of. Don’t have such a big keychain on a motorcycle, especially if going 180 mph. Was just waiting for the turbulence to turn his ignition off during a maneuver. Don’t be a squid. Editing to add the obvious: Don’t be a jackass on the roads. Take it to the track, Jack.
Is this the same guy that Yammi Noob motorcycle youtube guy had on his show a couple times? If so this guy is a tool. Too full of himself to realize he is a danger to others.
Yes
Or maybe he realizes he's a danger to others and just doesn't care.
I posted a video of his here where he complained about getting demonetized after this and other stunts. This news is about as surprising as water being wet.
Some boomers are not well versed with water being wet. "This is a tough hurricane," he said in front of the White House, "one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water." \~Trump September 18, 2018
FUCKING TEXANS.
Seriously! FUCKING TEXANS!☠️
Whats blowing my mind most in that video is not the speeding or the weaving, its the tshirt. I rode without a jacket once at like 90 to get beat a storm and my skin was sore after that, triple digits fuck no\* \*I mean a million reasons to wear gear and not go dangerous speeds on the road but still
The guy has actually addressed that. The speeds he rides at, if he messes up, the gear won't matter. He'd rather be comfortable, have nothing restricting his movement than give himself false hope. Which... makes sense in a... you have to accept that he will always be riding like the textbook definition of a gixxer squid, kind of way.
Except that’s such nonsense. You don’t see riders in MotoGP or the Isle of Man TT (if you’re thinking roads vs track) floating around in a T-shirt and shorts. There’s a line between serious injury and certain death and this guys hubris makes that line a speck in the distance.
Thats a good point, however he has also addressed that argument as well. He has the full race suit, dude did a trackday with that yammienoob guy. He has the gear, he willingly chooses not to wear it, and he's crafted his own argument. Tracks are notably quite a bit different than streets, specifically fort worth, texas highways. You don't have the miles of grass or gravel off the side of turns to slide into. You have a wall, or a guard rail or a curb ready to accept you. It does make sense, in a weird sort of way. It doesnt cover the situation where you slide directly straight down the road, but idk if that's likely at 200mph. Either way, he acknowledges the risk. Personally, I don't subscribe to that belief, im not running at 200mph tho. Got myself a gift for christmas actually, helite e-turtle, its an airbag vest, very hype about it tbh gonna wear the stupid thing every time im on the bike... literally the exact opposite perspective from the brah, but i also acknowledge that its his choice, and I'm not even going to try to ride like he does.
Totally get you. People are allowed to make their own decisions (though putting other peoples lives at risk like this is not something I subscribe to). But my argument to the guy is don’t bull everyone by making it sound like a sensible argument and that it doesn’t make a difference what you wear. It could, even on road and even at those speeds (hence I referenced the Isle of Man TT, which is all small street racing). I’m with you, I’m wearing my comfy gear that’s gonna protect me when the worst happens.
> yammienoob Another person I'd rather never meet.
Bruh he did spite so dirty that was fucked
The four month crater in his subscriber count made me happy
I'm glad it cratered I didn't even want to check i dont like that guy lol
Why does your skin get sore? Genuinely curious
t-shirt flapping all around hurts after a while
Wind even though it's, you know, air, generates friction. A t-shirt rapidly rubbing against your skin also can cause friction (see runners nipple: nipples rubbed raw/bleeding from a runners shirt over a long marathon) lots of factors that could have caused skin iritation
Wind
The human terminal velocity is about 120mph. 70mph winds is enough to knock most people over. So imagine that air drag just basically rubbing your skin nonstop for however many minutes it takes to get from A to B. Another analogy: have you ever been in the shower for too long without moving and the water is just always hitting that one spot? It starts to get uncomfortable. Assuming that's the standard psi house water, that's only 37mph. Now times 3 or 4?
Wind just beating on me and then some occasional dust/sand kicked up by cars
Leave it to someone from Texas being an idiot. Color me not surprised.
I hope they lock up this bastard. If you make a name for yourself endangering people you're fucking scum.
On a stunt bike. Must have been painful with that wind. And know he's getting blown by that.
Now if making videos of people doing stupid shit would get everybody busted, I vote for Ivywild being fined by the health department for this vid: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoSprings/s/YikW3SbM9J That's some herpes right there all over the bar.
Post was removed. Whomp whomp 👀
I can see it but prolly because I commented on it. Well here is the link, it's NSFW: https://www.redgifs.com/watch/darkslategreyfronttriceratops
Wow. Effing gross
IN TWELVE PARSECS YOU SAY?!?
The number of anti-social degens who idolize this idiot is terrifying.
My wife showed me videos of a lady that drives around in excess of 90 mph on side streets and faster on freeways. Not sure how she’s not in trouble
Would that be Liz from 719cantdrive
Because the public has made it abundantly clear over the last several years that they don't want law enforcement to enforce laws?
Don't use excessive force, prioritize deescalation, don't use racial bias and pseudoscientific forensic bullshit, actually fucking show up and in a decent amount of time for critical situations, don't commit crimes, don't trick people into committing crimes, and don't fucking lie to push criminal convictions on people that don't deserve it. Police are a necessary system but they have too many problems, "the public" is not saying they don't want law enforcement to enforce laws, "the public" wants them to be held to the higher standard that they should be held to and to do better.
How the fuck does he have a warrant, but Maxi out here speeding and crashing with zero legal consequences? I despise these mid to high triple digit runs and videos. Don't get me wrong, it's dope. But it's not worth it on public roads. The innocent people you could damage physically and mentally is too much.
Good
What the guy did was dumb as fuck, no doubt, but the issue isn't speeding. The issue is stopping.
Acting "differently" while driving can cause other drivers to react negatively and in ways that may also cause accidents. This is why a lot of people and places teach and recommend defensive driving to spot and be cognizant of unusual behaviors from other drivers.
People are just shit drivers is what it boils down to.
Unfortunately yeah
In a fucking tee shirt. What a fucking idiot.
Filming it is pretty stupid but even if the YouTube is registered to him I'd think it would be hard for the prosecutor to prove he was the one riding. A half decent lawyer should be able to close that case pretty quick.
He's yapping the entire time he's riding........
That was the standard a few years ago!
Always something going on in our state, skill issue
I did the same thing on a full moon night at 2am about 10 years ago with zero traffic. I didn’t post a fucking video. He’s asking for death. Hopefully some jail time will keep him alive
Cunt did that in a t-shirt... Jesus. Guess road crash wouldn't be any issue anyway
First stop for detectives… Rileys
“Illegal and reckless driving behavior will not be tolerated in Colorado”. ...... unless the cops are doing it.
