That's kinda cool. No way the cop should have got fired for being human and actually enjoying motorcycling.

I agree, I didn't see anything dangerous, both briskly accelerated, but didn't jump in and out of traffic or anyway put anybody in danger. I think the best speed was 72 to be in what looked like a 65 type area. People are so friggin P.C. these days it makes e sick. Coolest cop I've seen in a while....
I'm going to guess that the cop will be reprimanded and then be reinstated. Perhaps in a cruiser from now on. Too bad because I agree, cops need to be more human, I'm certain the guy on the Honda has a lot more respect now seeing that not all cops are dicks. Just my 2 bits.

+1, someone should have a go at the wanka that filmed him. Cool cop.
I disagree. The guy is (was) a cop and needs to maintain his professionalism at all times. He could have just as easily traded compliments with the Honda rider, revved it a few times and left it at that. I don't see where potentially jeopardizing the safety of everyone else on the road made him cool at all. Don't get me wrong, I like having fun on my bike too. But racing belongs on the strip not a busy street.

Potentially jeopardising safety?
What sort of miserable prick are you?
Why don't you just fuck off.
Go join a knitting club or something.

Billy Connolly - Fuck Off (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJMqdTr7IQM#ws)
I love Billy Connolly always had me laughing.
THERE'S the klavdy everyone is always talking about.
And I'm with him. Going fast =/= endangering others in all instances, and where it doesn't, it shouldn't be punished.

Both. I believe it's a Native American expression.
I believe that the Cop should have maintained a level of professionalism at all times.
I saw an update on this mornings news. The guy with the camera started an online petition & the Cop has been reinstated. Whether he will be riding another Cop bike or a desk is another thing.
