@@Mcfc2Richthey don’t care about agile they ain’t tryna rob someone who’s on a bike it’s 2 much of a serious charge to drag them off so they’d much rather catch a bike parked up n there’s 3 of em cuz 1 or 2 of em will get off to run up n snap steering lock, 1 to get on the bike 1 will stand on crowd control and 1 to stay on the other bike waiting to push the bike there tryna steal away then they’ll go park up somewhere low-key so they can rip the plastics off and do all the hotwiring without being interrupted, and there’s a lot of ways they can get you’re bike started older bikes they can hot wire and back barrel the ignition with a screwdriver but these newer bikes have more anti theft stuff but they keep adapting now they’ll just connect n use a fob to start you’re bike which is literally just a button they press and it will turn the electrics on
The only reason you later questioned yourself is because nothing happened, but the reason nothing happened is because of the outstanding preventative actions you took. Way to stay aware and be proactive!
Easy to look back on a situation with a cool head but when this kind of thing happens, you are totally unprepared for it. I think you did the right thing and avoided a potentially far worse situation and respect for sharing this. Many of us would be too proud to admit to running away!
I live and ride on London. A lot of the motorcycle theives have taken to riding high powered (stolen) 500cc scooters. The trouble is that these scooters are very fast and maneuverable. It's very hard to shake them off. I've seen it happen. When you flee, you still instinctively consider the safety of other road users and pedestrians. You also don't want to damage your bike. The thieves have no such considerations, they ride on pavements at break-neck speeds, I've seen them going the wrong way on dual carriageways. Best way that I've seen is to out brake them. A good motorcycle generally has far superior braking ability than a scooter, and - crucially most bike thieves won't have done any rider training so don't know how to brake properly. Ride fast and brake hard. When being pursued is a good idea to sound your horn as much as possible. You want to draw as much attention to yourself - and the thieves - as possible. Don't ride in circles, remember where you first saw them and drive in one direction _away_ from that locale. Gang members and theives feel more confident in their own turf and much less so as they depart from it - potentially into other gangs turf. They will likely break off pursuit if they enter another gangs turf. Traffic lights are where most jackings happen. Bearing in mind that many of these theives have knives - I personally would treat a red light as I would a roundabout - plan ahead, scan oncoming traffic, filter to the front, go through and slot in safely. One tip is to hit a busy road, and whilst filtering knock the wing mirrors of the cars as you go by. This will enrage the car drivers who will 'close ranks' and block the scooter/ bike following you! They think you're all idiots together and will do all possible to block you. There are some pro gangs that steal bikes to order. These people do not chase you. They are much more organised. If they want your bike they will get it when you park up. You'll be none the wiser.
@@steve00alt70 what scooter has better or as large brakes as any full sized bike dirt or street? I don’t even know of scooter that has Brembo or nissin and given there such small wheels unless you have the cheapest shit ever no scooter will ever brake as well as top manufactured street bike. The difference is 1000 of hours in r and d and thousand of dollars difference in price sometime tens of thousand.

There needs to be a "help me I'm being pursued" signal to give to other motorcyclists, most will come help you. One lad coming the opposite way was being chased by two balaclava clad scrotes on a battered scooter and he waved at me and pointed behind him. I spun mine round and chased them and tried to ram their back wheel with my XJR1200, easily a winner in a pushing contest but they rode off through a paved area of a housing estate. They had been chasing the lad for about half a mile.
Pieces of shit who go around two or three up on stolen motorcycles or scooters stealing other motorcycles and scooters, sometimes by force. They never wear helmets, just balaclavas to hide their faces as we have a ridiculous law over here where police can't chase them if no helmet is worn as it will make them ride recklessly endangering their own lives. If they crash they usually remove themselves from the gene pool. Zero sympathy. live by the sword, die by the sword. I tried giving them a friendly tyre nudge to scare them but they turned fast onto a pathway and I thought fuck them, let them go.
@Frank L Remember it's our language and your's is the regional difference! Clad is a derivative of clothed. A Balaclava was named after a town and battle in the Crimea War, when it was incredibly cold and British Soldiers wore knitted head covering , which Americans now, as you so rightly say, call Ski Masks. By the way, your translation is spot on(perfect).
This is peace of advice if someone following you just run faster and be alert in the road if you ride fast if the cop caught you you have a reason that someone are following say something to the police to help you And don't be afraid ride faster Because when you are in danger run fast to escape
Love the fact you stopped at the red light but subsequently rode around a mini round-about on the wrong side. If I felt that in danger I would probably ride through the red light (cautiously) and can some distance between you and pursuers. Easy to say in hindsight I suppose, well done for successfully & safely evading them 👏
Ive just got back into biking after 20 years and can't believe this shit happens. Well might be dangerous what you had to do but nicely done. If I knew potential thieves were chasing me I wouldn't hesitate to do the same type of riding.

It just shows how alone someone is when they're pursued by thugs down a street regardless of whether there are people or not. It's just you and them and they generally don't care about the repercussions of their actions and will happily go to any lengths for a thrill. CCTV, police. They all add up to nothing. Nothing can protect you in the moment. Take it from me, I know

Another thing to remember…this is for bikes and cars…make sure you are never mega low on fuel…you don’t want to be worrying about fuel in an emergency.
Any of the times he stopped for a red light, they were well behind so it was safe enough to wait. If I was him I would still obey the red lights unless they got right up beside me and I feared for my safety I would probably ride through the red then.
Best thing to do would be to ride around these estates on something they want to steal, get them to chase and lead them into a walled compound, with a few handy chaps waiting, lock the gates once they are in and give them a few thrupenny ones, just enough so they can’t breathe.
Even better, buy an old bike but put new fairings etc on it so it looks like a new model, then rig it with an IED and just leave it somewhere where you know they are going to steal it!! But watch, so you can warn any innocents etc not to go near!

this happened to me recently on way to work late at night its super scary and there is zero consequences for them its all a a game even if they don't plan to steal it then off you (though there have been a increase of hijacking regardless of time of day and while people are around) they want to have fun and fun to them is scaring you making you potentially fall of or crash , due to there having no consequences they are getting more bold across the uk
as a son of an officer and after showing my dad this he completely agrees on what you did here, he likes watching these types of videos because hes weird lol
I would report it to the police regardless, at least that way if you were caught or reported for dangerous driving you submitted a report highlighting your intent.
You rode with as much care and safety as you could to evade a potentially dangerous situation. Sure it was risky, the fact you maintained such good control and kept checking traffic shows you were not reckless or stupid though. As someone else said, would have done the same any day of the week
You need to get mobile technology fitted so you could call for assistance! Having said that, well done mate for NOT panicking and riding well within your limits; bikers such as you are a privilege to share the road with. I being a car driver! 🏴
Why? The police dispatcher would have spent 10 minutes to ask stupid distracting questions before deciding if it's worth dispatching police to your location. It's not the job of the police to prevent crime. THAT'S YOUR JOB. Police are only there to pick up the pieces.
@@ph11p3540 That's a bit of an oversimplification, but I'm guessing you know that. With every police department being stretched for resources, they obviously have to assess each call to determine whether a response is needed. And if so, what the response should be. The assessment to dispatch or not won't take more then a few seconds in a case like this. All the questions after that are to inform the officers, who are already on their way at that point. That being said. In order to save every possible second, I usually make myself a person of interest. By stating "such and such is happening, and I'm gonna engage the f*ckers now!". By stating I'm probably about to hurt someone there's no question about the necessity of police intervention. And I find they usually show up rather quickly.. :-)

You can never over react . In manchester signs was put up in the summer couple of year ago saying keep all windows up and doors locked at traffic lights because of car jackings

Well done fella you must of been scared i cant imagine what was going through your head just glad you are ok and theu didnt get your bike or hurt you. Stay safe fella 👍
Oh dam I know exactly where you are, you did the right thing, my mum lives on Cradock Road. There are thiefs where I am near tesco on Infirmary Road, I've chased them off twice and someone nicked two of my chains on Friday. If I catch them I'm getting one of them and keeping him on the floor till the police come get him and take him to the hospital. It's the same people, they stole two bicycles and nearly stole but damaged my last motorcycle.
The red light at 02:22, given the circumstance of the traffic at the time, the junction layout and making sure it was safe I'd have gone through that and taken the left rather than stopping.
In these instances you do what you need to do. If someone finds themselves in this situation, ride as quickly and safely as possible to a police station and ride right up to the entrance! They were up to no good and you did what you needed to do to drop them. One thing to consider is that a three up bike like that takes some pulling up, if they’re at the side of you, hit the anchors and spin around and go the other way. Do a quick U Turn, no way could they turn around like a solo rider, you’d be out of sight in a breath ... IOM TT next mate 😁 I reckon you’d be pretty quick around the island 😉

I wouldn't have given up either man! Now lying on my couch I'd say I would've tried to find a police station but man, you didn't do good, but I would've done the same
If I saw teens with their faces covered following me on whatever it was I really would think they would have a weapon with them so you didn’t overreact or anything at 1 time I was scared for you watching this I’m so sorry you had to experience this.
This is Sheffield, my home town. Some good mates are bikers local to the city and as far as i understand the problem with bike theft, it's everywhere, not just London as so many of the videos depict of course. I can completely understand the motives for this biker's evasive action. I'd probably be the same, but a far less experienced rider would be far more at risk of hurting themselves in this situation. That's another knock on effect that bike thieves create.
I'd probably have (carefully) gone through the red lights. I mean, if a police officer sees you, stops you and asks you why you did it, you can say, erm, I was trying to get away from the balaclava clad kids who are three up and have been chasing me for 10 minutes! 😂
This is why we conceal-carry in the US. If criminals don't obey laws by definition, it's up to responsible citizens to legally carry for protection and to put these animals down. Today it's your bike, tomorrow it's an innocent persons life. I realize it's an older video.
my advice in these situations is do the loop trick which is go fast but go round a figure of 8 pattern through housing estates, keep watching for them, if you no longer see them, next turn that isnt a cul-de-sac take it, theyll think theyre being smart setting up a possible trap, when really theyre just there hiding lil bell ends waiting for someone who wont turn up, ive also used a roundabout before now too, one of the big ones you get for motorways, just loop round it theyll try keeping up on a bike thats overloaded and theyll either slow down or low side it and slide, if they slow down, make sure you keep going round, moment you lose sight or they lose sight, take the turn off and then next turn as soon as possible, to them youll have just vanished. my best experience was getting chased by two stolen sports bikes, i know how to ride fast over ruts and bumps on old roads, it was the single most satisfying thing taking a corner at 80mph, foot peg making sparks and i look in mirror to see the idiots go straight across both lanes and into some trees, turned back after to see if they were ok, at which point id met with some friends, I'm not a evil person, they came out covered in their own blood from cuts and one was crying in the trees about a broken leg. they got out safe... one of the lads who i was meeting was a medic, the other 6, off duty officers.
While the Police would disagree I think you did the right thing by getting out of the situation, it is unlikely that they where simply out for a joy ride and the balaclavas kinda give it away, I have seen a few of this types of things and sometimes they are a smash and grab but often if the target is on a more powerful bike they know that people are aware of bike thieves and as soon as they see 2 or 3 on a bike defenses go up so they will try to lower the guard of that person by engaging in friendly chat as they know if they try to rush that person at a stop the target could be gone before they are fully off the bike, so it was good you did not talk to them as them asking that question was them trying to gain your trust and bring down your defenses.
Similar thing happened to me, 3 guys, 150cc scooter (I was on a 125 razorback) make sure to stay cool, you can shake them off with braking, it worked for me and when they are right next to you is the best time for it, they may attempt a u turn to get back to you, just accelerate away and do your best to get out of sight
Always better off being safe than sorry, I had to explain to an officer why I was doing 90 in a 30 once, luckily enough he saw the 2 bikes and 3 guys with no lids fly past and didn't even let me finish explaining just sent me on my way. Always better to be safe
No I didn't think you over reacted, you'd have no idea if those idiots had knives on them. Thought you handled your bike and the situation spot on. Glad you got away safe.
I know that area, Sheffield manor top, I do Deliveroo on a moped and I always avoid going to that area for any deliveries because it’s filled with them, that’s why I moved to a car so I don’t have to deal with those thieves again

The best comment and advice for this particular situation.
God, nothing screams straight more than cuddling up with 2 of your mates on a bike
Lmaoooo
Nothing screams insecure about your sexuality more than the fact that came to your mind.
Sounds like someone’s butt hurt (literally) because they cuddle up with their boyfriend on their 50cc moped and think they’re big man ;)

Another thing to remember…this is for bikes and cars…make sure you are never mega low on fuel…you don’t want to be worrying about fuel in an emergency.

Being chased but stopping at the red traffic light, how very law abiding.
I think is just fake..the guys just say hello..because both was on bike.
Who gonna stay at red light when you know the someone follow you.

Being chased, but not wanting to die by running a light
Any of the times he stopped for a red light, they were well behind so it was safe enough to wait. If I was him I would still obey the red lights unless they got right up beside me and I feared for my safety I would probably ride through the red then.
Best thing to do would be to ride around these estates on something they want to steal, get them to chase and lead them into a walled compound, with a few handy chaps waiting, lock the gates once they are in and give them a few thrupenny ones, just enough so they can’t breathe.
I like the way you think mate 😉
Even better, buy an old bike but put new fairings etc on it so it looks like a new model, then rig it with an IED and just leave it somewhere where you know they are going to steal it!! But watch, so you can warn any innocents etc not to go near!
Sounds like you're living in a fantasy world or you've seen too many movies lmao
@@Chadgigington imagine not being able to spot a joke and being a bit special so you can't tell the difference between somebody making up a hypothetical situation which they wished would happen as opposed to them genuinely believing this is what they are going to do.......
Pull into a building site. The lads on site don't like light fingered types.
this happened to me recently on way to work late at night its super scary and there is zero consequences for them its all a a game even if they don't plan to steal it then off you (though there have been a increase of hijacking regardless of time of day and while people are around) they want to have fun and fun to them is scaring you making you potentially fall of or crash , due to there having no consequences they are getting more bold across the uk
Happened to me a few years ago..I headed for the nearest police station..they gave up when I got there.

No over reaction. Hope you called the police. The lads are often tooled up.
police? You having a laugh?
They should be cut open and their entrails splayed across the road
I would report it to the police regardless, at least that way if you were caught or reported for dangerous driving you submitted a report highlighting your intent.
You have nothing to apologise for you rode as safely as you could under the circumstances. Kudos to you I hope you're still safe.
Gotta do what you've gotta do, glad you're safe 🤙

Might want to rethink that one before you ever practice it..
Or wear all of the protective kit you can find and call yourself an ambulance first.
'For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction'. You would probably fall off too if you're not careful.
You rode with as much care and safety as you could to evade a potentially dangerous situation. Sure it was risky, the fact you maintained such good control and kept checking traffic shows you were not reckless or stupid though. As someone else said, would have done the same any day of the week
Plot twist: they saw that you have a good bike and one of them gave a thumbs up and they followed you for the sound checks
You need to get mobile technology fitted so you could call for assistance! Having said that, well done mate for NOT panicking and riding well within your limits; bikers such as you are a privilege to share the road with. I being a car driver! 🏴
Why? The police dispatcher would have spent 10 minutes to ask stupid distracting questions before deciding if it's worth dispatching police to your location. It's not the job of the police to prevent crime. THAT'S YOUR JOB. Police are only there to pick up the pieces.
@@ph11p3540 That's a bit of an oversimplification, but I'm guessing you know that.
With every police department being stretched for resources, they obviously have to assess each call to determine whether a response is needed. And if so, what the response should be.
The assessment to dispatch or not won't take more then a few seconds in a case like this.
All the questions after that are to inform the officers, who are already on their way at that point.
That being said. In order to save every possible second, I usually make myself a person of interest.
By stating "such and such is happening, and I'm gonna engage the f*ckers now!".
By stating I'm probably about to hurt someone there's no question about the necessity of police intervention. And I find they usually show up rather quickly.. :-)
@@sigi9669problem with that last bit is calls are recorded, and should you need to use self defence, you’ll lose a lot of credibility with a jury with that played right beforehand.

You say dangerous driving. I call it using effective evasive manoeuvres
100% you was gonna get robbed. There was 3 of em, one driver, 2 others. one of em would of roughed you up other would of took your bike while it was happening, soon as his mate has your bike he jumps back on the original bike and theyre gone. Why else would they follow you for that amount of time and be wearing balaclavas...
You can never over react . In manchester signs was put up in the summer couple of year ago saying keep all windows up and doors locked at traffic lights because of car jackings

You did exactly what any of us bikers would have done mate. Fair play pal
Plot twist. These were actually balaclava salesman catering for the motorcycle industry.
3 guys, one bike, no helmets yeah they were looking to steal. You did the right thing.
I'd have called my nan, she would have come out with the handbag and slapped those boys. "Don't chase my grandson! - Get your butt home now. I'm calling your mother." - "You don't know my mother. You old hag!" - "*Grabbed by the earlobe and dragged home to his mother*"
Plot twist: it was the rozzers catching him for going 50mph over the speed limit past a primary school.
Well done fella you must of been scared i cant imagine what was going through your head just glad you are ok and theu didnt get your bike or hurt you. Stay safe fella 👍
Wow stumbled over this vid and I'm like that's Sheffield! They wouldn't have caught me either dude!
Personally I would’ve headbutted all three of them in one go
@HeedArmy83 but u would just kick fuck out of em there about 12 and they dont even have helmets on🤣
And a 12 oclock elbow maybe arm bar one too break his arms so he can no longer ride with his bum buddys.
Pull that shit in australia you end up buried with the bike. Riding around with ballys on
Followed by pre pubecent teens on their dads mates stolen bike
Oh dam I know exactly where you are, you did the right thing, my mum lives on Cradock Road. There are thiefs where I am near tesco on Infirmary Road, I've chased them off twice and someone nicked two of my chains on Friday. If I catch them I'm getting one of them and keeping him on the floor till the police come get him and take him to the hospital. It's the same people, they stole two bicycles and nearly stole but damaged my last motorcycle.
Jesus, I'd have needed a pint of Jim Beam to calm down after that!
All that speed running just to stand still at a red light 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad your safe and was able to get away, no need to apologise for your riding as you had your own safety to think about ☺️
The red light at 02:22, given the circumstance of the traffic at the time, the junction layout and making sure it was safe I'd have gone through that and taken the left rather than stopping.
This is one of my biggest fears
In these instances you do what you need to do. If someone finds themselves in this situation, ride as quickly and safely as possible to a police station and ride right up to the entrance! They were up to no good and you did what you needed to do to drop them. One thing to consider is that a three up bike like that takes some pulling up, if they’re at the side of you, hit the anchors and spin around and go the other way. Do a quick U Turn, no way could they turn around like a solo rider, you’d be out of sight in a breath ...
IOM TT next mate 😁 I reckon you’d be pretty quick around the island 😉
Often there is not one for miles and miles as they all close for lack of funding.
if anyone try to touch my bike, I promise the thieves die by my hand at the scene.
get some spray for protection, try spray used for dog attacks its legal in uk and will still do the job against knife, spray them, blind them, disarm them, then crush there little skulls, job done everyone happy apart from police who will give you 20 years for defending yourself lol.
Amen to you sir. Well said.

Guns are for the most part illegal or difficult to own in the UK so I can't imagine keeping a piece on you would be all too different

@Jelly Bean give me an example or the thugs people praise.
You did the right thing and I'm pleased you got away. It's not worth taking the risk and if you suspect anything suspicious, get away.
I wouldn't have given up either man! Now lying on my couch I'd say I would've tried to find a police station but man, you didn't do good, but I would've done the same
You did well mate, I wouldn't have even stopped at that first red light in that situation.
If I saw teens with their faces covered following me on whatever it was I really would think they would have a weapon with them so you didn’t overreact or anything at 1 time I was scared for you watching this I’m so sorry you had to experience this.
This is Sheffield, my home town. Some good mates are bikers local to the city and as far as i understand the problem with bike theft, it's everywhere, not just London as so many of the videos depict of course. I can completely understand the motives for this biker's evasive action. I'd probably be the same, but a far less experienced rider would be far more at risk of hurting themselves in this situation. That's another knock on effect that bike thieves create.
Better to be safe than sorry has a new meaning.
what dangerous driving? badass skills mate, better then any other vids here that try to drive badass. I always drive like that
“What is it that’s a bad boy” they ask as they’re literally riding the older shaped version of his bike
I'd probably have (carefully) gone through the red lights. I mean, if a police officer sees you, stops you and asks you why you did it, you can say, erm, I was trying to get away from the balaclava clad kids who are three up and have been chasing me for 10 minutes! 😂
This is why we conceal-carry in the US. If criminals don't obey laws by definition, it's up to responsible citizens to legally carry for protection and to put these animals down. Today it's your bike, tomorrow it's an innocent persons life.
I realize it's an older video.
You can thank liberal progressives for that mate.
my advice in these situations is do the loop trick which is go fast but go round a figure of 8 pattern through housing estates, keep watching for them, if you no longer see them, next turn that isnt a cul-de-sac take it, theyll think theyre being smart setting up a possible trap, when really theyre just there hiding lil bell ends waiting for someone who wont turn up, ive also used a roundabout before now too, one of the big ones you get for motorways, just loop round it theyll try keeping up on a bike thats overloaded and theyll either slow down or low side it and slide, if they slow down, make sure you keep going round, moment you lose sight or they lose sight, take the turn off and then next turn as soon as possible, to them youll have just vanished. my best experience was getting chased by two stolen sports bikes, i know how to ride fast over ruts and bumps on old roads, it was the single most satisfying thing taking a corner at 80mph, foot peg making sparks and i look in mirror to see the idiots go straight across both lanes and into some trees, turned back after to see if they were ok, at which point id met with some friends, I'm not a evil person, they came out covered in their own blood from cuts and one was crying in the trees about a broken leg. they got out safe... one of the lads who i was meeting was a medic, the other 6, off duty officers.
I've been there in the exact same bike bro. Was lucky I had the ABS off. I was gone!!! Good on you! Protect yours. N' be safe.
Running away from robbers, stops for red light...🤔
While the Police would disagree I think you did the right thing by getting out of the situation, it is unlikely that they where simply out for a joy ride and the balaclavas kinda give it away, I have seen a few of this types of things and sometimes they are a smash and grab but often if the target is on a more powerful bike they know that people are aware of bike thieves and as soon as they see 2 or 3 on a bike defenses go up so they will try to lower the guard of that person by engaging in friendly chat as they know if they try to rush that person at a stop the target could be gone before they are fully off the bike, so it was good you did not talk to them as them asking that question was them trying to gain your trust and bring down your defenses.
Similar thing happened to me, 3 guys, 150cc scooter (I was on a 125 razorback) make sure to stay cool, you can shake them off with braking, it worked for me and when they are right next to you is the best time for it, they may attempt a u turn to get back to you, just accelerate away and do your best to get out of sight
the two lads on the back the chasing bike would've just jumped off and had him if he'd done that.
Be careful m8 they are persistent fookers...... followed me all way from manor to killamarsh once .... don’t whatever you do let them follow you home
Please don't apologise... as you stated. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
Always better off being safe than sorry, I had to explain to an officer why I was doing 90 in a 30 once, luckily enough he saw the 2 bikes and 3 guys with no lids fly past and didn't even let me finish explaining just sent me on my way. Always better to be safe
You done well there fella no apologies needed we would do the same to get away and stay safe
No I didn't think you over reacted, you'd have no idea if those idiots had knives on them. Thought you handled your bike and the situation spot on. Glad you got away safe.
You reacted perfectly I would have dusted a few of those red lights though!
I know that area, Sheffield manor top, I do Deliveroo on a moped and I always avoid going to that area for any deliveries because it’s filled with them, that’s why I moved to a car so I don’t have to deal with those thieves again
