I think......

He was just riding and riding and then was like "hmm I'm bored of riding" so he just got off the bike and decided to do something different. Like talk to a cop.

I don't see what the cop can really get him for unless he had his radar gun out. That's a damn short stretch to catch him on though.

Clearly he fell BECAUSE the cop was parked there.

The cop makes NO hesitation, a littttttle bit ready for it I think.
I'm actually up there quite a bit from where the camera was, watching everyone and their mom act like nooB's. Where the cop is sitting most show-offs start picking up speed because that's where people can start seeing you more clearly....the speedlimit is 35mph, but it's easy to do 40+ coming out of that corner. The cop new exactly what he was doing. I could almost guarantee the radar was on. .......onther bike fail

Funny, both vids from the same stretch of road. I have seen a cop sitting in that exact spot about six times. Also same stretch of road from that tanner faust drift vid.

Once I was cruising up that road and passed a cop sitting there about 5mph above the limit, he let me go by, then I stopped in the spot that vid was taken from and watched a riced out civic get pulled over.

I'm saying rather than have a cop sit half way through a corner, patrol the area by air or sit on a straight instead of in a corner.
lol they do that too. I've been at that lookout point before standing a couple feet away from bike cops literally aiming their radar or laser's straight down that straightaway waiting for the next victim. Irritating/sad/hilarious all at once.

yep haha but you dont want to be braking that hard or at all if possible while turning either way... but yea most common mistake is panicking and grabbing the front brake...seen a few people get hurt this way...haha a friend hurt his balls a lot doing this when he first got his bike...
Yup. I recall that part too.. Brake before the turn, but not while in it cause that's pretty much a sure way to wipe out.

I find myself applying some of the stuff I learned in that class to everyday driving.
