I bet an officer or rice burner could get a pretty good estimate of the speed of the chase bike when he was on the open road. Judging the pace of the telephone poles,...maybe 90 mph+
Why? its a game. "I can blow off all the laws for miles and nobody can catch me!"
Why are there speed limits posted? They remind drivers that certain conditions add risk to self & others. Anything OVER the limit and People, pets, wildlife, property is at risk.
Camera would have told a different story if the chase bike hit a Labrador, or a kid on a tricycle.
I am sick of these bikes that add risk (& road rage) every freaking day on Rt 5. Its a game, a taunt, ....and then they cry when one of their own turns into a speed bump.
I hope the old gent is let off with a warning, and the insurance company refused to pay for bike replacement or health costs due to flagrant disregard for human life. Hey Pale Rider,...you not only put life, health & property at risk...you also endangered the life of your girlfriend who had little choice but to hang on & get maimed due to your arrogance.
