Anyone catch Police Interceptors Friday?

[Scort]

Just catching up on TV I missed these last few days – already posted in the thread about the Moto 2 rider, sad news, but I’ve also just watched Police Interceptors from Friday – anyone see it?

They pull over a guy riding a BMW tourer of some sort, and the guy is a complete and utter ****!

Although you don’t see it on camera, he apparently FILTERS (his words) between two cars doing 80mph on a 70mph dual carriageway And when they are trying to pull him, he supposedly gives the V sign to the following Police car – although that is also off camera.

The guy shows total and utter lack of respect for the officers and acts like a complete prat, I hope he had the book thrown at him just because of that!

Mini-rant over

Yeah, he really was a knobber, lol.

I remember watching a video on youtube, as you do, from a KTM rider who was filming some sort of video diary/debate as he was riding – hand gestures and all! The Police pulled him over to see what he was up to and he had a similar attitude, but admittedly, not as bad as Mr BMW.

I don’t get it personally, why be like that towards the coppers?

Did you also see when pulled away he nearly got hit by a car and then ran the red light?

Yeah, I saw that What a knobber, would have been pretty funny if they pulled him again!

I don't have anything against what he was riding, I love all bikers (awwww ), I just really hated his attitude.

Oooh, here's an observation I’ve had over the last few years of riding, and I’m really trying not to stray into stereotypes here – but what is it with the majority of BMW GS riders? You know the ones – all kitted up like they’ve rolled off the set of Long Way Down, sometimes two-up with matching his and hers lids…. they return a nod back, about as often as a BWM car driver indicates

I know some people can be a bit elitist on bikes, but me and a mate once passed some sort of GS group ride last year, about 15 bikes in total, and try as we might with nods, lifting of hands or a quick light flash, not a single one returned the sentiment

I've had a few from them - to be honest, I think they deserve a nod - can't imagine riding one of those houses on two wheels
