I'd read that the Nighthawk S has hydraulic valve lifters, making regular valve adjustments a non-issue. But do you have to split the cases to replace the starter?

Looks like it was originally a 1984-86 CB750SC / Nighthawk S.



Really loving disappointing that the kid ruined it like that because it is another one of those bikes that has ultimate 1980s style. Check out those gauges



That windscreen would make a really good housing for your custom gauges on the hawk imo.

I watched the first like three minutes of that thinking "drat, that cop is really keeping up with this guy, it sounds like the siren is right there!" before I realized the camera is on the police motorcycle and he's chasing the guy ahead of him. :downs:

I think it was the insane speeds and dangerous passes at the beginning that tricked me. I guess the cop had already been called for something by that point, but like, the move at 1:03? JFC that is not really being a model motorcyclist

e: guaaaaaaah 4:05 :stare:

e2: that guy running has his girlfriend on the back?!??

e3: okay holy fuckin poo poo everyone's gotta watch this video. 6:25 :stare: :stare: :stare: 10:30 :catstare: :stonk: this is a better motorcycle chase than you've ever seen in a movie, let alone real life

Yeah, honestly the cop seems, In a few places, like he's lucky he didn't end up eating it, due to near reckless driving

I cant believe that no one died and that chase wasn't called off for safety. Also was that an M109R being chased? That really hauled rear end for a cruiser 2 up.

Sagebrush
Feb 26, 2012

Yeah, that was a hell of a thing, but I feel like in most places the cop would have let him go at any number of points. Like when he was hitting what had to be triple-digit speeds through the center of a residential neighborhood with pedestrians and cyclists everywhere. Or maybe when the guy was going against three lanes of traffic and weaving in between cars.

Unbelievably dangerous but also really impressive riding from both riders, tbh. The fact that the runner was able to do all that on a cruiser with a second person on the back really speaks volumes about the quality of European motorcycle licensing (assuming the guy had a license, I guess). In the USA that would have ended with a lowside about thirty seconds into the chase when they first went onto the grass.

Watched the whole thing and couldn't look away. Do they hire their motorcycle police out of MotoGP?! And that Harley(!!!) rider is incredibly talanted. Doing it with a pillian, too. :aaaaa: I'm frightened as a pillion just tooling around a parking lot. THAT pillion is counterballancing with their legs and stuff.

I think it is. The tail and exhaust look right, the tank marking looks right, but he's put a custom headlight or something on it (pause at around 1:20 in the video, it's the best angle I could find)

Too bad she just gets dumped on her rear end at the end while the rider tries to high-tail it out on foot. Wouldn't call him particularly talented either - he and the cop both got lucky several times, but neither of them are STREET ROSSI

VV according to the description on YT, 144km/h in an 80km/h zone, then ran

alright?
I just got to the start of the chase and the camera bike had some many questionable actions and bad technique at the beginning that I thought it was the person running...

After reading the comments here I'm surprised to learn that he's apparently a good rider. Time to watch

Sagebrush
Feb 26, 2012

I mean he's a "good" rider in the sense that he somehow survives a bunch of ludicrously dangerous situations that he put himself in. He has really quick reflexes.

But there's definitely a point after a few minutes where you're like "nooooo loving way should be be continuing this chase any longer" and he just keeps on going

also lol @ the moment he gets off the bike at the end and drops it

I'd argue that the guy running is the better rider. To do that on a cruiser with a pillion is impressive. And some of those gaps he opens up are huge. If it was just him on his own, it would have been short and boring.

Also, the cop is just hammering the rev limiter throughout.

10:30 is insane, and they're both incredibly lucky they're alive and didn't kill some people in a car.

He got the red mist, chasing on adrenaline and not thinking. 6:20 was 90% luck.

The fact that they didn't get taken out by other drivers is interesting too. Is there also a greater level of general driving instruction in Finland? A lot of the drivers they were overtaking saw them coming a long ways off, likewise for drivers in intersections.

Sagebrush
Feb 26, 2012

The comments say the chase started after the cop caught him going 144km/h, but that's only ("only") like...85 miles an hour? Both the cop and the runner spent half the chase going much faster than that.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
More so then the riding, the impressive thing was the road knowledge there. Obviously the running rider knew the area cause some of those shortcuts were choice af.

Well, he does lose the right case cases at some point. Maybe that one didn't have any of the drugs in it?

It looks like a police van tries to stop him at 6:34 but doesn't block his way in time. At least I think it's a police van.

There's a good clip near the beginning of the latest No Prisoners where the lead rider fixates and goes straight through the turn, and the camera bike follows him right off the road.
