Several cities in the States are having the same issues with these idiots.
Meanwhile another HD fatality here....failed to negotiate a curve.

It’s been a police tactic here for about a year now.  The Met in London have shown some spectacular incidents where they’ve offed bike thieves! The initial opposition from bleeding heart liberals was immediately drowned out by the vast majority who approve!

I would support such police action.

I also think it would be very appropriate to post how long a rider has been riding, or how long they've owned that bike, who is involved in any accident. Especially those who fail to negotiate the road properly or lose control on the road. Sometimes the news reports here mention that... or used to... and it is very enlightening how many novice riders think they are invincible and end up in accidents alone or with others. But I guess those who scream about privacy don't want anyone to know that proper training was not received or followed.

Fair point Bob,it would be informative. Here you have to progress through several levels of training and tests before qualifying for the most powerful machines. It doesn’t eliminate this type of death, but I suspect has reduced it.
