Edit: Watched it over and over again. Seems like he passed by when there was the opportunity so I am not concerned with the riding as much and he did pass all the other riders "safely." The whole time I was expecting him to get up and wait for the truck. Hope they can pull the plate from the video.

Yea, I wasn't sure if he was going to make it doing about 100 around those bends especially being angry. You can hear it bounce off too so I assume it didn't break the window he may have been aiming at. You can see they looked to be cruising towards the end, but the few he followed were weaving. No bueno.

From what I hear the cops don't mess with bikes much as long as they're being safe, it's more/less keeping trucks and such from clogging things up. Those turns are so fast and short you won't be going real fast, and it def doesn't take anywhere near 3 hours. It's only a few miles, takes like 20 mins for an avg rider I think. Maybe not that long.

He did wait for the truck... at the end of the video ... he jumps off his bike and runs down the hill grabs a big rock and runs back up to peg the truck when it drives by. I was curious if the truck stopped after getting nailed by the rock. LOL... I doubt it since he just hit a bike and there were about a dozen pulled over. I would have thrown it harder and taken out a window.... or the windsheild.

I hear that the cops knuckle down hard during the season.

They haven't let me down yet. First trackday was on a set of M5s and I had been using M3s before that. When I first got the bike, the previous owner had Dragon Supercorsa's on it.
