These guys have chops when it comes to riding these police bikes. Very impressive.

I was visiting my young friend last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper. “This is the 21st century, old man,” he said. “We don’t waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPad.” I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it...

Is it just me? Looks like he is jerking back on the handlebars when he changes direction? Anyone else see that?

Nope, if he was jerking the bars, he would be hitting the pavement.
He is steering the motorcycle at a fast pace just as he is riding the bike at a fast pace.

That is what I see anyway.



And my hat is off to him. He is a much better rider than I.
