Strange Accident - griff86 - 06-01-14
Dumb Pathetic British Police Step Out On bikers Causing A Accident
Re: Strange Accident - bigbluebear - 06-01-14
That cop is an asshole....but why did the second biker not overtake on the outside and then slow down to a stop...... the first bike stopped in time and probably due to lack of concentration and experience of the second biker caused it......I still think they were going to fast in poor visibility.

This is going to be interesting....
Re: Strange Accident - wannafazer - 06-01-14
Bugger, I suppose the lad should have been able to stop and that will be the end of it. Seriously unimpressed with the bobby though. Totally unaware once he'd stepped in the road, if he'd have been watching he could have stepped back and given the guy somewhere to go
Re: Strange Accident - Buzz - 06-01-14
How's about the 95mph they were doing in foggy conditions, the speedo is dropping at 11s so who knows how fast they were going 5 seconds before that. No sympathy really, just lucky that no one was killed.
I'm not convinced the cop even saw the second/third biker in that visibility/speed as I'm sure he wouldn't have stepped out. The first lad managed to stop in time so I don't see the problem, if the second lad had kept a sensible distance then the accident wouldn't have happened.

Hmmm, I wonder if this was being filmed for a safety film and it went a bit wrong. Film crew at the side of the road, camera on front of the second bike and rather a large professional looking camera on the back of the lead bike. Video also shows footage from all three cameras. A... If the bikers posted it how did they get the police footage, B.... if the police posted it would they really dub music over it??? I might be wrong but something just doesnt seem right to me.
Re: Strange Accident - rustyrider - 06-01-14
Certainly looks like a put up job to me. As Doddsie says, camera crew at the side of the road, rear facing camera on the lead bike and front facing camera on the second? The second biker locks his rear wheel too, does anyone on here know of an experienced rider that would lock his rear wheel in a panic brake unless he did it on purpose? Christ, in those circumstances I'd be close on doing a stoppie!
Re: Strange Accident - Fuzzy - 06-01-14
I concur! And look at the size of the rear facing camera on the VFR! Technology has certainly come a long way since this vid was made.

Number 2 looks like he aimed for the copper!

Make ya right and maybe it didn't go wrong, the whole accident was the stunt to make the point.
But if it was for real the second bike was clearly going too fast but if the footage is accurate to the riders vision It wasn't clear that the lead bike was braking and the cop or his vehicle was nowhere to be seen until the last minute (or second to split hairs)
Surely the cop car should have warning lights on when parked up in such conditions which just goes to prove speed guns are for printing money and not preventing accidents.
Re: Strange Accident - Dead Eye - 06-01-14
Several of the comments on the Video are saying that it was made for "training" purposes and was actually shot on part of the TT course (which doesn't actually have a speed limit, so strange that a cop would be there)
Not sure if any of it is fact... if this was in real life then the cop is a muppet and so is the second rider. As always, sooo many contributing factors and things that could have been done to avoid it. Time for some popcorn and to watch some handbags fly

Re: Strange Accident - dazza - 06-01-14
OK then let's start the ball rolling....This was not a setup, it was Christo and Stevierst.... :lol :evil
Re: Strange Accident - Dead Eye - 06-01-14
It was totally the guy in fronts fault for breaking so hard :evil

Always be able to stop in the distance that you can see is clear on your side of the road.
Re: Strange Accident - RobG UK - 06-01-14
If it was a stunt it was a damn good one. The guy on the front bike doesn't look back at all. The copper doesn't move and the camera crew just stand there. Brave people.

Aha....
Stuart's Grand Day Out
Re: Strange Accident - Doddsie - 06-01-14
Bugger, just realised Phil has already posted it!!
Re: Strange Accident - fazersharp - 06-01-14
Still dont get it
Who is saying "stuart can you here me" because that dosent sound like its comming from the inside of a helmet. so some one else there knows him--- who the copper ? --- is it a copper as there is no police car to be seen. And do they work on their own like that. There are lots of things that arnt right.
If it is all as it first looks and not somthing other that went wrong then they were riding too fast ---thats it
