    Oh yea, the cop definitely went a bit beserk.... not sure it was entirely called for and 100% professional. I'd like to think my reaction would be more of a "did that really just fucking happen?" Kinda like this video....

    He would have got more than a choke hold if he had crashed into my car.
    If my kids were in it he would have been praying for the cops to get there.

    Lets be honest with ourselves here: the majority of people who ride sportbikes are assclowns. This is nothing new.

    What if he cut you off on the highway with the bike on a trailer though?

    so getting the wheelie even higher before putting it down is him slowing down?

    What if he was someone's kid? Does that parent get to beat up the parent who beat the kid up?

    Nope. Because they no doubt know their son is a dickhead and expect him to get a kicking every now and then.

    exactly what Chip said. I only watch them now if someone posts one and its has something new or completely insane in it.

    but this guy woulda done much better if he had set the front down and used his front brake or swerved.

    Oh man, that guy was a major idiot. Watching the video, what the hell was the plausible reason that those riders had to go into the opposite lane of traffic!!! That could've caused an accident! What douchebags.

    Silly naive johnnyv - the public's perception of sportbike will never be improved!

    Well except for that sportbike guy that saved a bus load of starving, cancer ridden orphans by doing a reverse wheelie into a stoppie
