    Flawed logic, only bikers speed?

    found this video. interesting watch.



    Notice how, when he clocks the bikes that are moving really fast, he is concealed behind a car, and radars the riders from behind, after they have passed, then comments on how fast they are going.
    When he radars the cars, to point out that the cars are 'all travelling at, or below the speed limit' that the first shot shows a car over the limit (which is 45mph) and that when radaring the cars, he is standing on the roadside, upright, easily visible, pointing the radar directly at oncoming traffic which can see him, and of course slow down for fear it's a cop.

    Fucking journalists.

    Who gives a fuck how they go about putting the information across.

    They're not making anything up.

    It's always interesting to see a cagers perspective on sports bike riders. The speeds may seem crazy to them, but cagers just don't realise how fast bikes can accelerate. Even on a decent 600cc bike 200kmh isn't that fast.

    It is when something unexpected appears in front of you.

    Bikers do not speed ..

    They exceed an illogical and politically biased limit, arbitralily set, and enforced with a monetary based penalty system, publicised by the creation of a media enhanced ... public admonition - ad nauseam.

    Cage pilot however ... have criminal intent in their every action ... lock the bastards up ...

    in 3 years they've had 13 deaths in 5 Georgia counties & 2 of these came from the cop chase they mentioned, given the amount of traffic I'm seeing, they're making this a bigger problem than it is.

    since you seem to have problems with basic comprehension I'll make it easy for you.
    Im not saying they are making anything up, Im saying that most bikers would have also slowed somewhat if they had placed themselves in a position where the bikers could see them pointing a radar gun, like they did for the cars. thats all.

    p.s.
    suck my cock.

    doesn't matter, they only set out to find what sportsbikes could do, now every nanny doing their knitting while watching southpark knows, but they still won't comprehend 200mph as a speed, only a number.

    I've got no problem with comprehension.

    Like I said - they're not making anything up.
