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!
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.
I’m from Bristol and that look like where the person in the vid are there are to many thieves here but lucky most of them ride 50cc Peds so they are ez to shake but they can be veary deadly
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!

Looks like you were riding in Sheffield and started off near or around Manor Top. Having lived in Sheffield through to my 20s, your instincts were spot on and not overreacting. Better to be safe than beat up and have your bike stolen and written off. Safe riding.
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).

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 the same people, they stole two bicycles and nearly stole but damaged my last motorcycle.
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 👏
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
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.
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.
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

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. Still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
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.
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 👍
3 idiots on a bike in Arbourthorne and that general area of the city acting like that? Yeah, I'd be getting my arse out of there too. You say dangerous driving. I call it using effective evasive manoeuvres
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.
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 😉
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
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.
Never mind them getting infront of you, don't even let them get beside you. They'll swing kicks and knock you off the bike. If you don't let them get alongside you then infront of you is already taken care of.
An Americans take on everything shoot it first and ask questions later. The motorcyclist way was the best way no one was hurt and he got out of there . I realise in America that human life has very little value .
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
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’ve always been obsessed with these but my parents always said it’s dangerous and frankly I don’t live life on the wild side. Shit I don’t even have a license
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.
Once had a dude have a road rage at me for flashing him (he had no lights on at night) he chased me for a while, threatened me with a hammer and then sped off, a mile up the road a hammer came flying past me (he was stood at the side of the road) luckily he missed me and my van. I made the decision to drive to the local police hq but also, made the decision that if he were to get out of his car again he was going under the van… Pleased you managed to safely evade a bad situation. If you have the same again, remember helmet beats balaclava in a head butting contest…….
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
Only suggestion I can offer is to carry some kind of aerosol deterrent. If it's not legal to carry the specialist stuff in your country, like it's illegal here in NZ, then carry a high pressure brake cleaner or really anything high pressure and flammable in a can. Go to your local auto store and get the cheapest, nastiest crap they have, it'll be the most likely to make them hurt.
You wasn't stupid! If it was me, I wouldn't even stop at the lights. They would never catch me, i get a rush from these types of situations, that's why i'm a danger to be on the road! You drove so safe, stopping at them lights. Kudos to you.

Easy to say in hindsight I suppose, well done for successfully & safely evading them 👏
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
if hes werid we are all weird, why would you call us weird?

You put distance between you and them, and you wait patiently at the Lights. Really Bro !
Cameras. The police would issued him a ticket even if he was chasing robbers
It's a emergency ..after a police officer seen the video it's very unlikely they would have prosecuted him for jumping red light or any speed cameras
@@oldfartuk nah you don't know feds they tryna get as much arrests as possible he will be prosecuted mate
Yeah doesnt really make sense. If you want to loose them drive through the light lol
@@zzzerwiwi so you’re a police officer yourself? fucking stupid
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.
Well done , it's called level 3 situational awareness, a life saver .
Let them build up speed next to you then boot the bike problem solved 👍🏻
giantginge 21 sadly enough the power of the kick is gonna translate back into your bike so if you do it wrong your gonna take a fall aswell
@@fedor5664 you have got no idea how strong my legs are I have booted Ford Transit vans across the road before (>_
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this lol
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.
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.
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
Your instincts likely saved your bike.
One of those pepper sprays would be fun to use when they get near you.

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.
Still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
3 guys, one bike, no helmets yeah they were looking to steal. You did the right thing.
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.
“bad boy” 0-60 in 0.2 milliseconds past a red light
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
This is why I like living in Newcastle.
Why has this been allowed to get this bad? What are the police doing over there? Having daily BBQs?
@@sofascialistadankulamegado1781 Seeing police cars in Manchester is rare.
@@sofascialistadankulamegado1781 yeah, and let's defund them too!
WHERE ABOUT IN MANCHESTER I NEVER EVER SEEN THAT SIGN ONCE
Happened to me a few years ago..I headed for the nearest police station..they gave up when I got there.
You did well mate, I wouldn't have even stopped at that first red light in that situation.
You did exactly what any of us bikers would have done mate. Fair play pal
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
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
That’s what you’ll find on Arbourthorne estate......... keep well clear 👍
Plot twist: it was the rozzers catching him for going 50mph over the speed limit past a primary school.
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.
@@mrRandomvideos1 in this situation police are real cunts, don't need them, let the public be the police we should carry gun for protection

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.
Bro this is some of the fastest 125cc acceleration I have seen wtf
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 👍
Followed by pre pubecent teens on their dads mates stolen bike
3 idiots on a bike in Arbourthorne and that general area of the city acting like that? Yeah, I'd be getting my arse out of there too.
You say dangerous driving. I call it using effective evasive manoeuvres
Gotta do what you've gotta do, glad you're safe 🤙
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.
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.
It’s ok to be scared it’s a tried and tested survival mechanism
Overreaction is always better than no reaction , with misgivings.
Everyones talking about the chase. In my mind: Need to tighten those mirrors, shouldn't be moving at 30-40mph
Hahahaha! This must be the fastest speed he ever reached on his bike
Probably the vibes from the single cylinder engine
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.
I can see the rider flooring it when the three people on the bike turned up next to him
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.
All that speed running just to stand still at a red light 😂😂😂😂
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.
They seem friendly enough
Never mind them getting infront of you, don't even let them get beside you. They'll swing kicks and knock you off the bike. If you don't let them get alongside you then infront of you is already taken care of.
They wont learn till yall start putting some holes in them 🤷🏾♂️
fr I hate living on this rock
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
An Americans take on everything shoot it first and ask questions later. The motorcyclist way was the best way no one was hurt and he got out of there . I realise in America that human life has very little value .
@@slayer9240 nah bud we just value our lives more than a criminals life
@Jelly Bean give me an example or the thugs people praise.
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 ☺️
Better to be safe than sorry has a new meaning.
3 teens on a motorcycle with ski masks on… if that’s not suspicious, idk what is.
Who tf has 3 people on a bike that was definitely sketchy you did the right thing
Please don't apologise... as you stated. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
Sometimes it doesn't matter if they have a bigger cc its how you use yours , if you can corner quicker then you've won
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
“What is it that’s a bad boy” they ask as they’re literally riding the older shaped version of his bike
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.
Definitely the right decision in gleadless Sheffield
True British! Apologises for bad driving even while trying to save himself from theives.
If they got on your left here's some quick advice: simply jam their front break and see them flying,problem solved.
How to do that exactly?🤔
kenny92529 just grab it with your hand
You would have to be on the right of the motorcycle
And if it’s a scooter and you’re on the other side it’ll be the rear brake :)
Alternatively, press their kill switch & giggle like a girl while you ride away.
I’ve always been obsessed with these but my parents always said it’s dangerous and frankly I don’t live life on the wild side. Shit I don’t even have a license
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.
They were just kind young lads trying to impart some words of wisdom.
When he stopped at the traffic light
My heart : 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Running away from robbers, stops for red light...🤔
Once had a dude have a road rage at me for flashing him (he had no lights on at night) he chased me for a while, threatened me with a hammer and then sped off, a mile up the road a hammer came flying past me (he was stood at the side of the road) luckily he missed me and my van. I made the decision to drive to the local police hq but also, made the decision that if he were to get out of his car again he was going under the van…
Pleased you managed to safely evade a bad situation. If you have the same again, remember helmet beats balaclava in a head butting contest…….
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
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.
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
Only suggestion I can offer is to carry some kind of aerosol deterrent. If it's not legal to carry the specialist stuff in your country, like it's illegal here in NZ, then carry a high pressure brake cleaner or really anything high pressure and flammable in a can. Go to your local auto store and get the cheapest, nastiest crap they have, it'll be the most likely to make them hurt.
You wasn't stupid! If it was me, I wouldn't even stop at the lights. They would never catch me, i get a rush from these types of situations, that's why i'm a danger to be on the road! You drove so safe, stopping at them lights. Kudos to you.
