The police officer was not trying to catch him. Just keeping up and telling others where he goes so they can put up a road block. Almost all of the police bikers in Finland are professional street bikers before they became police. So all of them are experts. If a police bike is behind you and tries to pull you over you might escape if you are in an air plane.
Or if you're riding an off-road capable motorbike and escape via terrain that is difficult or impossible to traverse quickly on a big motorbike with street tyres.

Since nobody else havent really touched on police chases in Finland, ill open them up a bit. So when the chase starts, officers will make initial decision to either try to stop or let you go. Latter is the decision usually if continuing chase poses great danger to others, except if you are in city area and driving dangerously. (Like in this case) Then they will stop you any way they can. When the chase starts they will bring on bike patrols as they are the main chasing patrols using. With a car you cant outrun them. Those police bikes will just follow you and coordinate other patrols to chase and close out streets to push you out of city area. They have spikes and such to stop you, this case wasnt used for obvious reasons. In the video when the bike turns to farm, he did because it was third police roadblock. With the enough civilians to actually close out the road and force him to slow down. He spotted the officers and tried to flee trough the farm but couldnt. Usually police wouldnt chase you if they got your number plate, unless you are otherwise dangerous.
lets also not forget that the 2nd pasenger may be totally innocent - so stopping them by force would cause collateral damage to the passenger. it might have been a different storry, if only the criminal was on the bike. Then the safety of other traffic participants may be in danger if you NOT stop that guy. I am happy i dont have to make these decisions. our cops are the best.
They are chasing him through Lauttasaari, Helsinki around 03:16, they turn to the center road of Lauttasaari and pass the Myllykallio Elementary school that's on the right side of the road, cannot be seen too well in the video but some of the smaller yard buildings can be noticed, then they speed through the busy central road, crazy! Then from 4-5 minutes in the video they get nearer and nearer to central Helsinki, crossing the bridge and leaving Lauttasaari (the bridge goes across a patch of the ocean, not river btw :)), but at 04:51 they turn back away from Helsinki to a highway. What a chase and nice Lauttasaari tour at the start!
Yes, there are indeed Baker Gangs in Finland. In the quaint yet bustling city of Helsinki, an eclectic society of culinary artisans known as the Crusty Gang has redefined the concept of flakiness and butteriness in the world of croissants. These are not just mere pastries; they are an epic culinary journey wrapped in layers of meticulously crafted, golden-hued dough. As you hold one, you immediately notice the exquisite weight distribution, a testament to the craftsmanship involved. The dough is a masterpiece, incorporating high-quality Finnish butter with such skill that the individual molecules of fat seem to be in perfect harmony with the flour. This gives the croissant an almost ethereal quality, blending richness with lightness in a dance of complex textures and flavors. No ordinary butter is used; it's a special blend of cultured and sweet cream butter, churned to perfection and aged just enough to hit that magical balance of tanginess and creaminess. The flakiness is unparalleled, resembling more a work of art than a food item. Upon biting into it, the croissant doesn't merely break; it shatters into an explosion of microscopic flakes, each a universe of flavor unto itself. As the shards of pastry touch your tongue, they melt instantly, releasing bursts of buttery satisfaction that trigger a cascade of dopamine in your brain. You'll find yourself instinctively closing your eyes, savoring the symphony of taste playing out in your mouth. This Finnish Gang of Bakers employs a secret lamination technique, a guarded secret passed down through generations, which involves a unique sequence of folding and rolling. It's a ritualistic, almost meditative process, carried out in the early morning hours, as the sun starts to light up the Finnish sky. This technique is said to involve not just 27, 54, or even 81 layers, but a virtually infinite number, as if they have captured the essence of fractals and integrated it into their dough. This provides a geometrically perfect escalation of flakiness that defies what was previously thought possible in pastry science. And let's not forget the buttery aroma. The smell alone is enough to transport you to an idyllic Finnish meadow, where the air is as crisp as the bite of an apple and the gentle rays of the Nordic sun warm your skin. It's a scent that lingers, not just in the room where the croissants are baked, but in your very soul, reminding you that somewhere in Helsinki, the Finnish Gang of Bakers is upholding the sacred tradition of creating the most flaky and buttery croissants known to humankind.
This happened in Helsinki. This caused a bit of a stir with people saying the police should have abandoned the chase and I tend to agree. Someone from the police did say though that the view from the camera may make things look a bit tighter than they were in reality, they may have had a bit more of a margin in those tight spots. The guy who was running from the cops had taken some drugs and decided not to stop. At that point where they almost collide the guy running away braked suddenly due to the police car ahead and the police motorcyclist couldn't brake in time so he almost collided. I believe he did hit the right side side bag on the other motorcycle and knocked it off.
I usually tend to think that "people" aren't the best at judging things they weren't a part of or know very little about in general. They tend to be more eager to voice out opinions than knowing things, very quick to jump to conclusions too. Often times the police here has a good protocol and cool head making decisions and leading the operation. It seemed to successfully follow through this time as well despite being a difficult one, if that's anything to consider. Here we have a single helmet footage and no other information on the operation.
Best chance you have is on a dirt bike one thing they are unable to do is keep up in the forest and rough dirt roads. If they get infront of you you are done... i have first hand experince 😅
Yeah this is Helsinki (or mostly Espoo which is a bordering municipality). It's a couple of years old but you do get to see a lot of the western parts of the city here lol.
The motorbikes used by the police in Finland have always been top of the notch. I don't know what type of bike was used in this chase. The video was filmed in the year 2017. Starting from the year 2020, Finnish police has started to get new motorbikes. There was a review of the new model in the TM magazine 14/2020 (22.7.2020). The new tool of Finnish police is Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE. It is one of the most powerful and most advanced sports tourer in the market. The writer of the article did a test drive of the civil version of the bike, and he was totally stunned. The bike has a 1000 cc 4 cylinder mechanically supercharged engine that produces power of 147 kW (197 hp) and torque of 137 Nm. The top speed is electrically limited to 300 km/h (186 mph). The civil version of the bike weights 256 kg, but with the police equipment, 281 kg. It has all the modern technologies, such as traction slip limiter and ABS brakes that allow full braking while turning without fear of falling. The police version is equipped with radars both to front and rear direction. It has 3 cameras that can send live feed to other police patrols and to the control room. The register plate detecting system automatically warns about any stolen or otherwise wanted vehicles. And the navigation system shows locations of the other police patrols. Virve radio is used to send commands and digital information. (It is based on the Tetra network. Unlike commercial cellular networks, Tetra is very reliable, secure, and it works even in the deep forests far away of closest cities or roads.)
This was about 10 years ago. Real event. I live nearby. Chace starts from western Helsinki Lauttasaari and ends at Espoo, suburban about 20 km west from downtown Helsinki.. all water you see is Baltic Sea.. sing was Hanko, which is small town 120 km west from Helsinki.
The runner is kinda relative of mine. Known him for my whole life. I think he had some amphetamines on him, and in him too. And they have a biker gang. The runner has killed 20 years ago a guy, and after this chase he has killed another person and is currently in prison for that and many other crimes.
The chase goes on in Lauttasaari and Kamppi in Helsinki, then west on the Länsiväylä motorway to Espoo. In Espoo they turn north to Kauklahti, then west again.
All finnish cities look pretty much like that, ofcourse there's differences too and, most are pretty small ones. Many (especially people from abroad) consider even Helsinki to be a small city, maybe it's because the lack of high-rise buildings.
@@Pajune yup, there is huge cities out there that feel normal to people. I heard some time ago that in international standards there is really only (was it) 5 cities in Finland. If i remember right they were Helsinki, Turku, Tampere, Jyväskylä and Oulu.
@mertfin : THE REAL REASON THEY FLED: to get ahead of the police enough to hide somewhere some illegal stuff that they clearly had on them. The passenger then ran away, supposedly to get rid of something behind the barn building: maybe drugs, maybe a gun or something like that. ;) The police were having a little conversation at the end, saying that they will get some dogs there to sniff the area, because "he definitely disposed something there". :) Edit: Ok - now that I read the other comments, it was a heavy load of drugs and driving under the influence of drugs. :D
Normally police often gives up a chase if the perpetrator is not high profile, for example moped kids that have tuned their bike. When it's someone high profile from a biker gang they definitely will not give up the chase if they have a warrant which I definitely think is the case.
18:10 i think he was trying to go to the forest because those police motorcycles don't have the correct tires for off road so the traction is kinda bad so most of the power is wasted just pushing dirt. it is a good plan but you have to have the correct tires for it and it takes some skill to do it. if you don't have correct tires then it's not gonna work that well.
well that harley don't have proper tires either and it is really heavy bike. It would not have a chance, Finnish motorbike police have pretty intensive driving school in bad terrains even with a "streetbike", they are really skilled drivers.
Ah, I remember this well....Been living in main capital area my whole life so all of this chase happened on the roads Ive known my whole life in Helsinki-Espoo area. Helsinki is ofc the capital and Espoo is right next to it, towards west. Personally I was born in Espoo and lived in different parts of Espoo my whole life 😄 The first few minutes of the chase happen in Helsinki and then moves to Espoo's side around 6:35 where the "border" of Helsinki and Espoo is and the rest of the chase happens in Espoo and actually goes quite near where I used to live with my parents for many years, before I moved to live on my own. And ye, I really think Helsinki-Espoo area is quite beautiful in the summer especially near the coast, wouldnt dream to live anywhere else.
Finnish Motorcycle Police uses Kawasaki Ninja H2 with Modified 1000cc2 engine, making it like H2R, also this race was going in Helsinki-Espoo as the most civilisiced capital in Finland, the upmost fastest speed they had would be about 220km/h in the highway… just in case youre curious
Isnt the top speed of a ninja h2r like 350km/h or something? So basically its impossible to outrun them unless you are somehow going faster or you have an enduro bike and go heavily off road?
Lol, knew they were in for an off right off the bat at the first left turn - it's a dead end :D (unless you know where you're going, there's a walking/cycling bridge in one spot through several smaller islands to the "mainland") Used to work on this island right off Helsinki (Lauttasaari) and they also drove like a mile off my old house. You were pretty spot on about the districts and the old power station when they were driving through Ruoholahti towards the city centre.
I disagree with you, hiding in tall grass wouldn't help at all. They would just bring out the police dogs ❤ Smart thing to do at that point is to give up 😊
Well, in addition to having a fast bike, the Finnish motorcycle police have some fast legs as well. Can't outdrive them, can't outrun them. Although, I know of a case where a teenager got away from a motorcycle police because he had a dirt bike and they drove offroad. The police motorcycle was just not build for that and he falls on a narrow trail. They did catch the guy later though.
Yes, there are Motorcycle Gangs in Finland. In fact, I was just minding my business working at a fast food restaurant, when the police arrived to arrest one of my coworkers who apparently was pretty high up in Hell's Angels or an equivalent.
Yeah... this is from 2017... the biker trying to flee was holding drugs and was also very high on them. The route went through from Helsinki-Lauttasaari-Ruoholahti back to Lauttasaari, to Espoo Tapiola-Niittykumpu-Friisilä-Suomenoja-Espoon keskus and then looped back towards Suomenoja. I know all the those roads well... but wouldn´t ever dare to even try to escape a police officer on a bike. I am fairly good biker myself but these finnish police bikers are something else and they train their skills a lot on the track too. BTW: bikes are ridden, not driven. These days finnish police bikes are updated to very fastest bike models there are available. Noticed how the police bike`s gearbox was miss-shifting a lot? I think third or fourth gear was in a bad shape already...
I too sensed the disturbance, however, the baltic sea does look like finnish lake lands, so I don't feel too big of a disturbance. The lack of forested hills over the horizon is a clear sign!
well.. if you know the place.. sure.. if you dont know the place.. and all you know the country has like >100.000 of them lakes.. then you may say lake. relax. btw, as an ex-german navy person - i would say the baltic sea is a lake :-) - we used to say, "flooded field." But then again, i was stationed on the north sea coast .. haha tavataanko torilla kuitenkin?
No one's giving points to the criminal. He's driving with a passenger 😮💪👍 Edit. Before people give me hell, I'll add this... Yes, it was INCREDIBLY irresponsible of him, to risk the passenger's life like that.
Runners bike was m1800r and it weight like 330kg and is pretty damn fast bike too but he did have a passenger and propably combined weight close to 500kg. Considering that he drove pretty damn good. I had intruder like that and it is not an easy bike to ride.
First as I wasn't paying atettion what youtube startes playing but mentioning of them baker gangs got my attention just to realize it was biker gangs. Man that would be awesome outlaw bakers
the finnish police have ktm adv bikes for offroad chases and kawa h2sx bikes for others, they might have some other older bikes lying around but I mostly see the h2sx bikes in the cities
Spoiler alert in this comment! Yes, the residential area in the beginning of the video is Lauttasaari, then they go to Ruoholahti pass the district court of Helsinki and then back to Länsiväylä West bound. Then they were off to Espoo country side, which is not my backyard. But boy this biker could drive - craziest thing is that he had a passenger sitting on the bike. Man, this video is super intense, and I cannot imagine how stressfull and also physically challenging this ride must have been to the passenger. No wonder he or she did not have any energy left when the ride was over.
I don't think we have baker gangs in Finland xD What makes me surprised is that despite the roaring motors and high speed and sirens, the cyclists are still biking on the road and haven't moved to the side or anything. You're right about how the police vehicles are pretty charged under the hood compared to civilian cars and bikes.
This happened in the cities of Espoo and Helsinki. The beautiful scenery was the Gulf of Finland and its many bays that break the coastline. So it was all sea that we saw on the footage. The escapee obviously was carrying drugs when spotted. In the end he tried to lose the stuff in the tall grass, and that’s what the police were looking for. I don’t know if they actually found the package. Nevertheless, he got some serious consequences of the reckless and dangerous driving. Perhaps, if the drugs were not found, the sentence(s) were less than what they would have been with the drugs found on him. Especially if the amout was big enough.
We have motorcycle gangs here in Finland. Hells Angels, Bandidos and few others are called procent gangs 'cause they have 1% mark on their leather vests. It means that one procent of motorcyclists are criminals. They wear color. Hells Angels are red and white, Bandidos are red and yellow (gold). Other "normal" motorcycle clubs wear black/white. Few years ago all Finnish gangs/clubs took pictures of their logos and design of their vests and created a database to internet for all to see. I know this 'cause my boyfriend was the president of one black/white club.
The reason this specific motorcycle police started chasing this guy was that they had a powerful motorbike, and this policeman had the only possible bike to keep up with him.
I've managed to get away from police here in Finland many times by car, but its a thing everybody knows, you do not try to get away if the cop is ridin a bike. Not gonna work. With cars, they aint so good if you ask me
gotta love how small this country is! I just moved and they drove all the way from my old nearest grocery shop to my new nearest grocery shop! (and across two cities too)
Finland is bigger than UK, Italy, Hungary, Portugal, Greece and Czech Republic to name a few, so wouldn't say it is small. You moving in small area don't make it small.
The police closed the road a couple of times...There is a longer version with better video..The motorway is on one side and the sea on the other, there is not many ways to go...
The police officer was not trying to catch him. Just keeping up and telling others where he goes so they can put up a road block.

Lauttasaari-island in Helsinki. I live there too, very cosy place.
Finnish Motorcycle Police uses Kawasaki Ninja H2 with Modified 1000cc2 engine, making it like H2R, also this race was going in Helsinki-Espoo as the most civilisiced capital in Finland, the upmost fastest speed they had would be about 220km/h in the highway… just in case youre curious
Isnt the top speed of a ninja h2r like 350km/h or something?
So basically its impossible to outrun them unless you are somehow going faster or you have an enduro bike and go heavily off road?
@@mirzu42 Ninja H2R can go 400km/h, H2 is limited and not that powerfull, H2R has more horsepower that goes above 300, H2 got a bit less than 300
Lol, knew they were in for an off right off the bat at the first left turn - it's a dead end :D (unless you know where you're going, there's a walking/cycling bridge in one spot through several smaller islands to the "mainland") Used to work on this island right off Helsinki (Lauttasaari) and they also drove like a mile off my old house. You were pretty spot on about the districts and the old power station when they were driving through Ruoholahti towards the city centre.
I think it's quite early in the morning around midsummer, absolutely light but not much traffic at all...
All Nordic contrys is like this , green landskapes and nice houses.. I,m Swedish👍🏼not soo god at english, sorry🙈
Hanko and Hangö in swedish like all the signs in Finland. The city is Helsinki at the beginning and soon turns into Espoo. And yes, it is the ocean.
I disagree with you, hiding in tall grass wouldn't help at all. They would just bring out the police dogs ❤ Smart thing to do at that point is to give up 😊
The passenger running away just did what was his aim: to get rid of some illegal stuff he had on him (drugs or a gun maybe..) ;)
Well, in addition to having a fast bike, the Finnish motorcycle police have some fast legs as well. Can't outdrive them, can't outrun them.
Although, I know of a case where a teenager got away from a motorcycle police because he had a dirt bike and they drove offroad. The police motorcycle was just not build for that and he falls on a narrow trail. They did catch the guy later though.
Yes, there are Motorcycle Gangs in Finland. In fact, I was just minding my business working at a fast food restaurant, when the police arrived to arrest one of my coworkers who apparently was pretty high up in Hell's Angels or an equivalent.
Finnish motorbike polices actually has ninja h2 with tunes😂
Yeah... this is from 2017... the biker trying to flee was holding drugs and was also very high on them. The route went through from Helsinki-Lauttasaari-Ruoholahti back to Lauttasaari, to Espoo Tapiola-Niittykumpu-Friisilä-Suomenoja-Espoon keskus and then looped back towards Suomenoja. I know all the those roads well... but wouldn´t ever dare to even try to escape a police officer on a bike. I am fairly good biker myself but these finnish police bikers are something else and they train their skills a lot on the track too. BTW: bikes are ridden, not driven.
These days finnish police bikes are updated to very fastest bike models there are available.
Noticed how the police bike`s gearbox was miss-shifting a lot? I think third or fourth gear was in a bad shape already...
4:20 It is a powerstation. I got my first job in there when I wad 14 y/o
that was in Espoo close to Helsinki
Very close many times another car...
Good video 👍🏻
"Is that an actual lake?"
I felt a great a disturbance in the Force.
It was as if a million Finns yelled out "NO! That's the fucking BALTIC SEA!!!"
I too sensed the disturbance, however, the baltic sea does look like finnish lake lands, so I don't feel too big of a disturbance. The lack of forested hills over the horizon is a clear sign!
well.. if you know the place.. sure.. if you dont know the place.. and all you know the country has like >100.000 of them lakes.. then you may say lake.
relax.
btw, as an ex-german navy person - i would say the baltic sea is a lake :-) - we used to say, "flooded field."
But then again, i was stationed on the north sea coast .. haha
tavataanko torilla kuitenkin?
@@zoolkhan Only the most decadent fags from Helsinki are like this, real Finns don't care...
this is in helsinki on the motorway to hanko
Sick speeds... 19:15 on this road, the cars they pass by, are going bit over 100km/h...
First part is in Helsinki (Lauttasaari, Katajaharju)
No one's giving points to the criminal. He's driving with a passenger 😮💪👍
Edit.
Before people give me hell, I'll add this...
Yes, it was INCREDIBLY irresponsible of him, to risk the passenger's life like that.
Runners bike was m1800r and it weight like 330kg and is pretty damn fast bike too but he did have a passenger and propably combined weight close to 500kg. Considering that he drove pretty damn good. I had intruder like that and it is not an easy bike to ride.
this was at Helsinki area, our capital city
Scottish who are living at asia but super keen into finland.. bit weird but i drink for that.
He didn’t have energy to run away. That kind of riding is very hard, even with a lighter motorcycle. That Intruder 1800 is very heavy bike.
First as I wasn't paying atettion what youtube startes playing but mentioning of them baker gangs got my attention just to realize it was biker gangs. Man that would be awesome outlaw bakers
Mafia bakery
@@jattikuukunen Making space cakes.
😂
Baker Gangs in Finland don't cut their souffle with flour.
the finnish police have ktm adv bikes for offroad chases and kawa h2sx bikes for others, they might have some other older bikes lying around but I mostly see the h2sx bikes in the cities
If it wasn't pointed out yet the rider was under the influence of amphetamine and metamphetamine. It happened 29.6.2016.
Just one word "Damn"
It's quite an old footage so the camera is pretty crap.
Spoiler alert in this comment! Yes, the residential area in the beginning of the video is Lauttasaari, then they go to Ruoholahti pass the district court of Helsinki and then back to Länsiväylä West bound. Then they were off to Espoo country side, which is not my backyard. But boy this biker could drive - craziest thing is that he had a passenger sitting on the bike. Man, this video is super intense, and I cannot imagine how stressfull and also physically challenging this ride must have been to the passenger. No wonder he or she did not have any energy left when the ride was over.
7.10 the town was Hanko, the southest city in Finland.
where my cat lives
I don't think we have baker gangs in Finland xD What makes me surprised is that despite the roaring motors and high speed and sirens, the cyclists are still biking on the road and haven't moved to the side or anything. You're right about how the police vehicles are pretty charged under the hood compared to civilian cars and bikes.
Police bikes are normal street bikes with police equipment, so they are slower than stock bikes.
The chase is in Helsinki.
and ends in Espoo.
This happened in the cities of Espoo and Helsinki. The beautiful scenery was the Gulf of Finland and its many bays that break the coastline. So it was all sea that we saw on the footage. The escapee obviously was carrying drugs when spotted. In the end he tried to lose the stuff in the tall grass, and that’s what the police were looking for. I don’t know if they actually found the package. Nevertheless, he got some serious consequences of the reckless and dangerous driving. Perhaps, if the drugs were not found, the sentence(s) were less than what they would have been with the drugs found on him. Especially if the amout was big enough.
In the west-side of helsinki, sparcely populated "garden-town" .................
I heard that scottish people can't say purple burglar alarm is that true :D

the bridge he crossed, that's the sea my dude
he crossed many bridges
We have motorcycle gangs here in Finland. Hells Angels, Bandidos and few others are called procent gangs 'cause they have 1% mark on their leather vests. It means that one procent of motorcyclists are criminals. They wear color. Hells Angels are red and white, Bandidos are red and yellow (gold). Other "normal" motorcycle clubs wear black/white. Few years ago all Finnish gangs/clubs took pictures of their logos and design of their vests and created a database to internet for all to see. I know this 'cause my boyfriend was the president of one black/white club.
percent
@@vaahtobileet Joo, sori😁
Ok. NOW I remember this one. Rather old video. - Still two on, vs one.
Yeah it's really hard to outrun police motorcycle but I have seen few videos where cop falls they are not easy to drive off road.
A real man stops and take responsibility for his actions, a coward runs
Baker gangs! Sounds delicious!
0:52min What kind of gangs? Baker gangs? xD Love your accent! I don't think Finland has a huge problem with bakers being in baker gangs! xDDD
Lol, I used to work in that Supermarket they passed.
The reason this specific motorcycle police started chasing this guy was that they had a powerful motorbike, and this policeman had the only possible bike to keep up with him.
It is i the western part of Helsinki
Helsinki (lauttasaari) and most of the part Espoo.
Chase is sometimes more dangereus than criminal, and they stop
That biker later went to prison for killing somebody.
Starting of this video, driving took place in North part of Lauttasaari, in Helsinki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauttasaari
Don't you see he had passanger too
I don't know who was being chased, but not exactly normal, of course both drive well.
We have the same motorcycle. Very powerful but too heavy to for this😅
Hiding in the tall grass is good way to get hunted by police dogs tho...
I've managed to get away from police here in Finland many times by car, but its a thing everybody knows, you do not try to get away if the cop is ridin a bike. Not gonna work. With cars, they aint so good if you ask me
gotta love how small this country is! I just moved and they drove all the way from my old nearest grocery shop to my new nearest grocery shop! (and across two cities too)
ei kai se ny niin pieni o
On se pieni jos sun Suomi on kehä kolmosen sisällä ja siitäkin alueesta vain länsipuoli käytössä 😂
Finland is bigger than UK, Italy, Hungary, Portugal, Greece and Czech Republic to name a few, so wouldn't say it is small. You moving in small area don't make it small.
Profefessaly,good raiding ,oh my god.
Wild
Meidän Hanko🤣.
Se on se fiilis kun kesä on tullut😂💥!
On täällä video josain misä MP- poliisi työnnetään palasiksi mönkijäkuskin toimesta.. En jaksa nyt ettiä..
the criminal with the camera drove recklessly
And didn't know the engine or gearbox limits. Oh well the "coverment" is paying so no worries and the criminal was chased with ease.
It wasn't a moped club, they wear vests and barely outrun the police, that doesn't make any sense.
this happened in the capital of finland helsinki
Hän vaarantaa oman(vitun väliä) myös muitten sivullisten hengen. Hän on varmaan KOVA jätkät. Vittu mikä kusi pää.
The police closed the road a couple of times...There is a longer version with better video..The motorway is on one side and the sea on the other, there is not many ways to go...
Is not BMW 1100 c, Enough? Well officer here playd too much... games...😃
Those damn baker gangs and their drags!
Two on vs. one....
