Grappling hook through the front wheel fixes that right away...

So we should kill people for loud exhausts? What about the innocent bystander the bike turns into jelly when it is catapulted into the air and lands on them? That energy has to go somewhere…

Ya know, part of the reason cops should enforce the laws on the books is to keep people from going all Batman when they get tired of lawlessness.

Yes because Americans all over are going vigilante and taking justice into their own hands. What world are you living in? The America I live in everyone is too chicken shit to handle things for themselves and when I get to that point I’m not thinking about grappling hooks and going after people with loud exhausts…

Well, you're the one talking about a friend who takes many lives into his hands by doing this, so it's not about "loud exhausts." It's about someone who thinks so little of his own and others' lives that he'd be doing 200mph on a crowded public highway. Pretty much the definition os "reckless indifference to human life."

>> Story: a buddy of mine had a gsxr 1000 and would purposely screw with cops on the freeway and as soon as they’d light up he’d be gone and doing 200mph within a few seconds, fitting between cars easily. Within 30-60 seconds a bike can be damn near a mile away from a cop car. Radioing ahead won’t help if you don’t know where they went and they were never running a plate to run… most cops know it’s pointless to chase and often immediately call it off.
