@mrpipshit1 - It may have been,BUT there were no GATSO cameras, Average speed cameras, roadside cctv, Road Safety Partnerships. The Cat and Fiddle used to be 60 mph and not 50 mph as it is now.....
your average uk bike cop will make mincemeat out of 98% of the sunny sunday afternoon crew.rc30 on the wrong side of the road ha ha ha,probably thought he was the next valentino rossi ha ha.cop on bmw just plods along behind
The police should be arresting child molesters, murderers, rapists, crack cocaine dealers, heroin dealers, violent criminals but lets face it the police target motorcyclists because we are an easy source of income for them. They should catch real criminals...
@fryster123 We had an umarked Police Bmw motorycle in Staffordshire in the 1980's sprayed all black......They forgotone thing, take off the Police badges which showed through as outlines on the fairing and panniers.
I've been a mechanic all my working life, and have worked with all sorts of people. I've known blokes with huge "Snap On" toolsets that couldn't repair a roller skate. I've also known blokes with the old oil tempered (black) spanners that could repair anything. It's not what you've got, it's what you can do with it. Yes; you can have a dogs bollocks bike, and the fancy leathers, and lid, but the only reason that prick was taking the turns wide, was because he can't ride a bike for shit.
Not trying to be pedantic but the rule for double white lines is:
"129
Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph or less."
ah the early 90s,old zxrs ,fzrs,etc when men were men and the police were men too not like today and when leathers looked like tracksuits in a secondhand shop and helmets you could smoke in,hmmm im going out to clean the carbs on my old zxr h model and looking for a old german flying brick to race coz that cop could sure drive that yoke,thumbs up if you be embarresed to be caught by that!!
i love the cat and the fiddle, a couple of years back me and my dad went to pick up a mx bike (using a van) we used the vauxhall movano long wheelbase (19 feet long) but it was snowing icy and bordering on freezing rain and it was one of the scariest experiences of my life the views across the snowy countryside was spectacular only slightly ruined my the slippyness of the road and in some places no guardrail, in parts the road was so skinny and the rear wheels were sliding about utterly amazing.
Is it just me, or at 4:28 is the police biker travelling way to close to the back of the lorry? There's no need to be that close, hang back, out wide so the driver can see you and wait, gives you a far superior view of the road ahead too.
fuck this, honestly, most damage a person on a bike with do and dent a damn car, chances of killing someone on a motorcycle is unlikely, cops trip way too much.
@SI1SHAD I have to agree and I'm just a slow cruiser type of rider... Too many broken bones in my younger days when I thought I was invulnerable to make me even think about riding that way these days... Still, I don't really have a problem with these young kids doing this since it is just Darwinism in action... They'll either get good at their riding, learn from their mistakes, or die in the process... Whatever happens, the problem gets solved with minimal government expenditure...
@advancedbiker they actually have been switched on recently. and they do work. they seem to have ironed out the problems they had with them,,,but seriously folks, they are now WORKING. BE WARNED.
7:17 i hate when none bikers assume that the bikes speed and the rider were at fault in an accident. Its like saying "look at that black guy lying shot dead in the road, this must have been a gang shooting" BIKERS ARE NOT ALL CRIMINALS
this was my favourite road for years. used to go thereall the time. had too many near misses and thought one day my luck will run out. that and seeing too many others have serious crashes.i also have 2 kids to think about. so i gave up road riding last year and bought a track bike. miles better than risking it all on the road, and you can go alot faster!
A solid white line is there for vehicles that would not have a chance to accelerate fat enough for an overtake. Some bikes have that ability, and therefore seize the opportunity to overtake, with no risk, cause they are back in the correct lane in time.
why not just stick bumps in the road or some object causing people to have to slow down in sections apart from each other? or is the road so long it would cost to much? surely theres goto be something, mind you if i ever get my hands on a bike good enough to take there, i probably would lol
@CarpMagic95 - Ah well they have spent around £850,000 installing average speed cameras along the road. Problem is they forgot about a short cut on the route, making the average speed higher than they actually are. They have never been switched on.
So douchebag cops get to break the law in a non-emergency situation... They are no better than the tardsticks making the rest of us motorcyclists look like assholes.
Great vid, but typical of the misunderstanding plod has of motorbikes... the one in the car says he can't believe the risks they take just to get to their destination a bit sooner. So he obviously doesn't understand the first thing about why motorcylists are....
Awesome bikes then! The thing is that in the uk now, the type of bikers with the most accidents and deaths are the born again bikers in thier 40s. Changed a bit. I still gotta take it easy though!
If I had a fast car (actually I had one), or a bike, I would speed no matter what! I won't give a shit about the police, the people, the innocent.. I just will do the speeding rationally.. and I really don't think there is anything wrong in that!
This is not SO long ago - but almost looks like the Golden Age in comparison to the ridiculous totalitarian state growing around us daily. It's all so black & white; the "system" says it will exactly define behaviour to the finest detail, and use every electronic method to enforce it without question.
Except the rules now barely reflect what much of the population want. Pathetically low speed limits, bumps, chicanes, traffic lights everywhere... everything to deliberately HINDER progress.
@CodeTwo2 Ah but now the so called Road SAFETY partnership have installed average speed cameras along this stretch of road at a cost of £800,000. They are are claiming that road incidents have reduced, just because of them. They can not be switched on because they forgot about the the short cut, which would give false speed readings.....
Man, that second douche bag couldn't even stay in his own lane to make the turns in the road!! If you aren't skillful enough of a rider to stay in your lane when turning - don't get on the bike to begin with!
Good Video, The comments are right, There is definitely a more cold approach, In the way in which the police deal with road users, compared to the 90`s
The Cat and Fiddle road now has average speed cameras on now. Thank fuck, I'm a bus driver and a bloke i work with ended up having a head on crash on that road with a biker, the biker died and my mate still has nightmares. I say fuck anyone who takes risks on public roads.
That guy in the red and white, regardless of his law breaking...he was just a terrible rider, braking far too hard for corners when he didn't need to, terrible lines he was taking getting no lean on the bike and seeming like he had no control.
These policemens are better then the ones in L.A fuck..the ones in l.a take it up the ass..and yells and does alot shit..these cops sound more understanding.
i agree we have a cop in our town who is nice and gives people a chance and all the other cops cant understand why everybody gose to him when they need help or something. the cops here in america nobody likes they take your money from you over every little thing cause its revinue for the town and state. not our safety. but giving people a chance is rare in cops nowa days
Oh dude, very proffessional and polite policemen! :)
Maybe that´s why so many people do not try to get away from them in a dangerous chase, but simply stop and listen to the police. No handcuffs in this vid, no "get your ASS on the ground NOW!!!". Just very polite conversation.
@martialme84 I think what we are witnessing here is the ancient art of conversation and dealing with confrontation without violence, which seems to be the norm today. In those days, you gauged the offenders attitude against the offence. Sometimes a good Bo..ocking was just as good.
@advancedbiker Yeah, i hope it hasn´t completely died out.
What does Bo..ocking mean btw.? I couldn´t find any info on the meaning in google. I´m german, that´s why i don´t know all the terms that might not necessarily be taught at school. ;)
Yeah, that´ll help if done properly, although i have almost only positive experiences with our police. The speeding tickets i get are well deserved... most of the time.
@martialme84 I agree. Those in U.S.A.....just a minute...the police are kicking in my door now and crashing through the windows.....Okay, I'm back. They just wanted to ask if I would like to purchase tickets to the policemans ball. :-\
get a life you sad cunts they aint even given it some safe over take fuk all commin tossers when you ride a bike fast we look round the bend and see fuk alls comin so we dont hit anything do you fukin think that silly siereen dont scarre us more
Guys but thats the whole point of having a bike.. Its the feel of freedom and the adrenaline that you get when you overtake on those god damn white lines...
advancedbiker, dead right on this. had a copper in the 70's smack my mate up the face for grinning at him after being pulled for jummping the cliff vale bridge at mybe 40mph. we thought his reaction was funny, but we never did it again just incase that same copper was there. Bit like life on mars!!!!
bull shit police should not trap bikers like that. that will just make them race thinking its a biker..untrapment ....never stop that mad driving ....
did that cop say he was caution him lol that was before the world economical crises nowadays no matter in what country you are they just write you a ticket and a ticket worth a full weeks wages
Like scoobies and chavs don't give it large, look at the average age of motorcyclists now, only ones that can afford to insure them, Mr Deepdiver, I'm also an ex- squaddie, plod, with the medals to prove it, also a deepdiver, you might even know me, that was a bad year, whats the stats now?
Having spent 23 years in the Police service and most of that time on the Traffic department (motorcyclist) I have been to many motorcycle fatalities, it's true to say some times it was not the fault of the motorcyclist. But most I have investigated are and the main reason was rider education, that is to say the riders abilities fell short of the performance of their machine.
The road is no place to test your skills or the lack of.......
I couldn't see no bikes racing on this video, the only thing I saw was someone crossing solid white lines. Race pace would be too extreme, That policeman catching him up wasn't racing, just cruiseing. Only a biker will know its not racing in this video and car driver hasn't got a clue. The chances are if someone was racing, the video bike wouldn't have kept with them unless rossi was on bike lol.
Hi Cobb. I was young and felt the need for pushing it! Not that I was. The cop on the bike was a nice guy, shame about the cop in the car! What a tosser!!! Obviously not a biker. We are all guilty of things like that most just don't get caught, lol. Never mind eh. 30 quid and 3 points for that. Not bad!!! Had to stop riding due to car driver not f@@king looking. Ouch. Rant over. Peace!
@CobbZ2007 I was only talking to someone about that same point today. The modern day Police Service does not train officers to communicate with the public. They can not deal with confrontation in conversation. In the good old days, you used to able to chat, have a good laugh, give someone a bo..ocking and it worked. You gained respect.
@advancedbiker , dead right on this. had a copper in the 70's smack my mate up the face for grinning at him after being pulled for jummping the cliff vale bridge at mybe 40mph. we thought his reaction was funny, but we never did it again just incase that same copper was there. Bit like life on mars!!!!
@CobbZ2007 Thats not true of all, last year i was pulled over by a traffic police who had to gun his merc to catch me and he was cheerful had a good chat, checked my bike and told me if he catches me again he'l have me ;p
great vid thanks for posting, I think what this country needs is a health service that we must pay for rather than national insurance, either that or bigger fines and more points. I'm a biker myself and for what I saw of the white bike I would consider a re take on the test for him.
think before you twist the throttle... remember friends n family love you...and also remember not just you on the road other people with familys too.
@siraff2 lol those guys are trained to ride right .its not what your riding. its how you ride it . do a course see how much you improve . You'll be surprised . Safe riding
cat and fiddle man thats a mint run.... they have helicopter police patrols on that run now. and are meant to be putting cameras on each end of the run which gives an average speed it took to complete. loll at the secret camera with a vhs in it hahahahahhaha.
Good point, imagine if they charged a fee to use the track for a few hours how much revenue they would raise, everyone knows just booking someone will not make them slow down
You fly past someone on a BMW tourer with a Sam Brown belt and then he' sticks right on your tail - would have thought anyone would think that it just might be a bobby wouldn't they?
i do know 1 thing it is only to make money and if you watch the vid at 55-60 seconds the copper not far of the line too as he is going to fast for the bend in a near uprite postion lol tosser shuld of gime him self a ticket for dca
Great till the cops realised there was massive profit to be made in pontificating how idiots should kill themselves - now it's just expensive - massive revenue from speeding fines & bugger all change in the statistics.
@7:34, Performance Bikes magazine logo in debris, says it all. Bunch of knee down, wheelying hooligans, man I really should cancel that annual subscription I've had for the last fifteen years (not)! Ride safe, make progress!
@ jackojeff - go and get yourself another farleys rusk,,, back in the day when cops got told to f**k right off when on the cat's road ??? just checked your profile sunshine, you weren't even born when this vid was filmed, so how would you know?
yea i totally agree, if they are driving dangerously and putting not their own life at risk but others too, a ticket and a little chat will not help. but i feel sometimes that police (that i have met, not all police) a more interested in fining people than educate people. but there are some police out there that do a really good job, being a firefighter i work closely with them and some are great, especially the older more experienced officers!
the police cant talk to us anymore, they think tickets will help instead of being understandable, fair enough with dangers speed, but i was fined for doing 36 on an empty 30mph road.
i cant beleive she said at beginning 24 senconds in, saying they are taking a new approach of dealing with young men and motorbikes....... bit sexist really!
Akthough I dont agree with tickets at those sorts of speeds, however, people need to learn somehow about riding/driving safely with consideration for others. Giving people a talking to and adivce does NOT work now..people are too arrogant to think people know better than them - thats why there are shoi riders out there. Look at some of the accidents if you dont agree.
this road used to be great in the quiet early hours of the morning when no one else was around. now it's shit with average speed cameras.

Not trying to be pedantic but the rule for double white lines is:
"129
Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph or less."
Doesn't mean no overtaking inside of the line.

The Cat and Fiddle road now has average speed cameras on now. Thank fuck, I'm a bus driver and a bloke i work with ended up having a head on crash on that road with a biker, the biker died and my mate still has nightmares. I say fuck anyone who takes risks on public roads.

That guy in the red and white, regardless of his law breaking...he was just a terrible rider, braking far too hard for corners when he didn't need to, terrible lines he was taking getting no lean on the bike and seeming like he had no control.

i agree we have a cop in our town who is nice and gives people a chance and all the other cops cant understand why everybody gose to him when they need help or something. the cops here in america nobody likes they take your money from you over every little thing cause its revinue for the town and state. not our safety. but giving people a chance is rare in cops nowa days

Oh dude, very proffessional and polite policemen! :)
Maybe that´s why so many people do not try to get away from them in a dangerous chase, but simply stop and listen to the police. No handcuffs in this vid, no "get your ASS on the ground NOW!!!". Just very polite conversation.
Admirable.
Thumbs up for the british police in this vid!

@martialme84 I think what we are witnessing here is the ancient art of conversation and dealing with confrontation without violence, which seems to be the norm today. In those days, you gauged the offenders attitude against the offence. Sometimes a good Bo..ocking was just as good.
advancedbiker 1 year ago 4
@advancedbiker Yeah, i hope it hasn´t completely died out.
What does Bo..ocking mean btw.? I couldn´t find any info on the meaning in google. I´m german, that´s why i don´t know all the terms that might not necessarily be taught at school. ;)

Having spent 23 years in the Police service and most of that time on the Traffic department (motorcyclist) I have been to many motorcycle fatalities, it's true to say some times it was not the fault of the motorcyclist. But most I have investigated are and the main reason was rider education, that is to say the riders abilities fell short of the performance of their machine.

I couldn't see no bikes racing on this video, the only thing I saw was someone crossing solid white lines. Race pace would be too extreme, That policeman catching him up wasn't racing, just cruiseing. Only a biker will know its not racing in this video and car driver hasn't got a clue. The chances are if someone was racing, the video bike wouldn't have kept with them unless rossi was on bike lol.

Hi Cobb. I was young and felt the need for pushing it! Not that I was. The cop on the bike was a nice guy, shame about the cop in the car! What a tosser!!! Obviously not a biker. We are all guilty of things like that most just don't get caught, lol. Never mind eh. 30 quid and 3 points for that. Not bad!!! Had to stop riding due to car driver not f@@king looking. Ouch. Rant over. Peace!

@CobbZ2007 I was only talking to someone about that same point today. The modern day Police Service does not train officers to communicate with the public. They can not deal with confrontation in conversation. In the good old days, you used to able to chat, have a good laugh, give someone a bo..ocking and it worked. You gained respect.

great vid thanks for posting, I think what this country needs is a health service that we must pay for rather than national insurance, either that or bigger fines and more points. I'm a biker myself and for what I saw of the white bike I would consider a re take on the test for him.
think before you twist the throttle... remember friends n family love you...and also remember not just you on the road other people with familys too.

yea i totally agree, if they are driving dangerously and putting not their own life at risk but others too, a ticket and a little chat will not help. but i feel sometimes that police (that i have met, not all police) a more interested in fining people than educate people. but there are some police out there that do a really good job, being a firefighter i work closely with them and some are great, especially the older more experienced officers!
gixxerk4600 2 years ago 3
the police cant talk to us anymore, they think tickets will help instead of being understandable, fair enough with dangers speed, but i was fined for doing 36 on an empty 30mph road.
i cant beleive she said at beginning 24 senconds in, saying they are taking a new approach of dealing with young men and motorbikes....... bit sexist really!
gixxerk4600 2 years ago 14
Akthough I dont agree with tickets at those sorts of speeds, however, people need to learn somehow about riding/driving safely with consideration for others. Giving people a talking to and adivce does NOT work now..people are too arrogant to think people know better than them - thats why there are shoi riders out there. Look at some of the accidents if you dont agree.
